Marriage= Gender, Religion, Reproduction

I am completely disgusted by the anti-gay marriage propaganda. I have heard over and over that traditional marriage is between a man and a woman in a commitment with God. I have been told that two people of the same sex should not be allowed to marry because homosexuality is not natural, it goes against God's word, and they can't procreate. When I first heard that argument I spit my soda all over my laptop. (I've gotten it all cleaned up except for a few sticky keys.) Let me debunk that idiotic response.

That list is only SOME of the mammals and it does not include the birds or insects. So now that the idea that homosexuality is not natural is debunked lets move on to the next step in the argument - God's word.

Quick summery of the book of Leviticus (copied from Wikipedia as it was the shortest summery I found)
The first part Leviticus 1-16, and Leviticus 27, constitutes the main portion of the Priestly Code, which describes the details of rituals, and of worship, as well as details of ritual cleanliness and uncleanliness. Within this section are:

Laws regarding the regulations for different types of sacrifice (Leviticus 1-7):
Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and thank-offerings (Leviticus 1-3)
Sin-offerings, and trespass-offerings (Leviticus 4-5)
Priestly duties and rights concerning the offering of sacrifices (Leviticus 6-7)
The practical application of the sacrificial laws, within a narrative of the consecration of Aaron and his sons (Leviticus 8-10)
Aaron's first offering for himself and the people (Leviticus 8)
The incident in which "strange fire" is brought to the Tabernacle by Aaron's sons Nadav and Avihu, leading to their death directly at the hands of God for doing so (Leviticus 9-10)
Laws concerning purity and impurity (Leviticus 11-16)
Laws about clean and unclean animals (Leviticus 11)
Laws concerning ritual cleanliness after childbirth (Leviticus 12)
Laws concerning tzaraath of people, and of clothes and houses, often translated as leprosy, and mildew, respectively (Leviticus 13-14)
Laws concerning bodily discharges (such as blood, pus, etc.) and purification (Leviticus 15)
Laws regarding a day of national atonement, Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16)
Laws concerning the commutation of vows (Leviticus 27)
The second part, Leviticus 17-26, is known as the Holiness Code, and places particular, and noticeable, emphasis on holiness, and the holy; it contains commandments intended not just for the priests but for the whole congregation.[3]. It is notably more of a miscellany of laws. Within this section are:

Laws concerning idolatry, the slaughter of animals, dead animals, and the consumption of blood (Leviticus 17)
Laws concerning sexual conduct - incest, bestiality, and most notably homosexuality among men, laws concerning sorcery, and moloch (Leviticus 18, and also Leviticus 20, in which penalties are given)
Laws concerning molten gods, peace-offerings, scraps of the harvest, fraud, the deaf, blind, elderly, and poor, poisoning the well, hate, sex with slaves, self harm, shaving, prostitution, sabbaths, sorcery, familiars, strangers, and just weights and measure (Leviticus 19)
Laws concerning priestly conduct, and prohibitions against the disabled, ill, and superfluously blemished, from becoming priests, or becoming sacrifices, for descendants of Aaron, and animals, respectively (Leviticus 21-22)
Laws concerning the observation of the annual feasts, and the sabbath, (Leviticus 23)
Laws concerning the altar of incense (Leviticus 24:1-9)
The case law lesson of a blasphemer being stoned to death, and other applications of the death penalty (Leviticus 24:10-23), including anyone having "a familiar ghost or spirit", a child insulting its parents (Leviticus 20), and a special case for prostitution (burning them alive) (Leviticus 21)
Laws concerning the Sabbath, Jubilee years and slavery., (Leviticus 25).
A hortatory conclusion to the section, giving promises regarding obedience to these commandments, and warnings and threats for those that might disobey them, including sending wild animals to devour their children. (Leviticus 26:22)
These ordinances, in the book, are said to have been delivered in the space of a month, specifically the first month of the second year after the exodus. A major Chiastic structure runs through practically all of this book.

Ok I'm done laughing now. Really? This is your argument? Do you stone your children for misbehaving (Leviticus 20)? Ok so they'll say "Because we're Christian, we don't follow the old testament. That's why Christ came. He gave us the new testament." Please tell me exactly where in the new testament it says homosexuality is an abomination. I can't find it. (Yes, for your information, I have read the Bible in it's entirety.) If you choose to follow the Bible as a guide for YOUR life- Great! Please do not push it on to me or anybody else. (Notice I said please. That will be the last time I am polite to the Bible pushers.) I'll let you live in the delusion that the United States was founded as a Christian nation. I don't have enough time to explain that one. The United States is not a Christian nation (now). There is no national religion. We are free to pick and choose who or what we worship. There are MANY different religions in the United States. Why would you choose to force everybody to follow your religion? Do you want to be forced to follow a religion that wasn't yours? On that note: My marriage should probably be labeled as a civil union. God isn't and never has been a part of my marriage.

Next section of the argument- Marriage is for procreation.
So what about all the heterosexual couples who can't have children or who choose not to? Not all heterosexual couples can have children the old fashioned way. That's why there is in-vitro, medications, and surrogates. Debunked!

Congrats New President Elect Barack Obama

I'm so excited. Our 44th president is Barack Obama. I am honored to be able to say I voted for him. I am excited to be a part of history in the making. As I sat with Keelie last night watching Obama give his acceptance speech I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I was so proud to see America elect it's first black president. I know alot of people are saying Obama was elected because of his race, well, I do not vote according to race. I voted for Obama because I agree with most of his policies and because I feel he is the best person to turn this country around. Obama's background is chalk full of diversity. His mother was an atheist. Barack, himself, is christian. His father was probably muslim. Barack understands that this country is not just full of white christians. We are diverse! We do not all think the same. Obama, I feel, is not going to just look at the right wing conservative issues because it goes along with his beliefs. I feel he will look at the bigger picture and know that because we are not all the same he cannot take sides. I know he'll piss off alot of fundies because he will not do just their agendas. Instead he'll keep all of our rights intact and not allow others to infringe on those rights.

Congratulations Barack Obama! I look forward to the next 4 years with you!

Look Kids! It's Bigotry!

Warning: I cuss ALOT and my favorite word is Fuck! Don't like it....Don't read the following!


I was never in support of prop 8 and will NEVER be in support of it. I am still in disbelief that it actually passed. Fucktards! To all those who voted for prop 8... I hope someday that I may vote against your fucking marriage! I may be married to a man but I fully believe that two adults should be able to marry no matter what their gender. When I heard that the proposition passed I think I threw up a little in my mouth. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck! Damn bigoted, ignorant, homophobic assholes! Fuck you if you voted yes on prop 8! You voted based on your damn fucking religion. Guess what asshat...I'm not a god damned Christian. Not everybody in California believes in your fucking god. Yet now we have to have a law based on your fucked up religion. Your kids WOULD NOT have had to learn about gay marriage in school. Ever heard of permission slips? I get them all the fucking time from my daughters' school. You can keep your children from learning ANY of the curriculum in school. Your fucking church wouldn't lose it's tax exempt status. It probably should since the churches like to stick their noses into politics and make laws. I just might try to get a law on the books now that prevents churches from being involved in politics. How do you like that?! You don't? Well I don't fucking care because it's what I believe. Don't even give me that shit about by allowing gays to marry that it'll allow for marriages to animals and children. Stop and please use that lump two feet above your ass for a moment. Can animals and children legally give consent? Hell NO! I'm sure back when interracial marriages were illegal that people gave the same arguements. Did that happen? No! Stop the fearmongering!

Do I sound angry?

FUCK YES I'M ANGRY!
