And so it goes. Debate is denounced, facts fictionalized, religion regaled, bigotry broad and big and freedoms for some Americans still denied. And so it goes, once more we beg the man or woman who defiles the Constitution, we plead with the hypocrite who lives his her life with less of a conscience and more selfishness and we cajole and caudal people who have cheated on their spouses, have had their share of infidelity, and who have added nothing at all to the stabilization of the Institute of Marriage. And so it goes.
And so we wait. No matter that some loving couples have been in love with their partner for 20, 30, 40 years, never once permitted to say I do and then have the government approve. No matter that those who really love one another want to make that love legal. No matter that marriage for some really means forever and for others 2, 3 4 times. And so we wait.
And so what. And if marriage equality passes in NY, I still can't get married in California. And if marriage equality does not pass in NY then those who have no reason to disallow same sex marriage except for stupidity, homophobia or ill fitted religious bigotry, will claim victory and praise God for providing this miracle. And so what, the heterosexuals will still cheat, commit infidelity, perform adultery, and chip away each and every day at the holy Institution of Marriage whether marriage equality passes or not.
And so it goes. One more day when all Americans are not equal. One more day when a small group of bigots control the lives of Americans. One more day when separate but equal predicated on words from hateful Pastors, spiteful Priests or self loathing Rabbi's resonate louder then life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And then I wonder, what if we had taken all that time to allow interracial marriage, blacks to drink from the same fountains, go to the same schools as whites, and women the right to vote. And then I wonder how much uglier would this nation of ours be? And then I wonder why?
