A matter of religious freedom: Gay Marriage
At the end of the day gay marriage is a debate because Americans are forever obsessed with other people’s sex lives.
Each day we are flooded with news of celebrities’ sexual doings, and you can’t get from the first tee at the golf course to the fairway without hearing rumors of some sap’s infidelity or bedroom conquests. It’s as reviling as it is irrelevant, and this prurience is probably the most pathetic thing about the American state of mind.
We are a sex-saturated culture. Check your “spam” e-mails tonight, and read all the unwanted messages peddling perversion.
Many of the people who are outraged about homosexuals sharing closet space send their daughters to school dressed like call girls.
Some churches denounce homosexuality as sinful.
Meanwhile, the Episcopalian Church confirmed an openly homosexual bishop.
Fortunately, you can attend either church.
And since opinions about homosexuality and marriage are at their core religious beliefs or lack thereof you should be able to marry someone of either sex.
It’s a matter of religious freedom.
