you don't

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R), resolute in his quest to defend the state's ban on same-sex marriage, is disappointed that other states don't feel compelled to do the same. He added, “Not defending Gay marriage bans is next step to anarchy.” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said the “vilification of people who oppose same-sex marriage is exactly what we've seen throughout our history as going back to the days of the Nazi takeover in Europe.” Bryan Fischer, a radio host with the conservative advocacy group the American Family Association, "Just as the homosexual stormtroopers for Hitler were to exterminate and eliminate the opposition and beat them into silence, that's what homosexual activists want to do today,” All of this noise is blasted because quietly a man and a man, or a woman and a woman want to say “I do”. With the fear or phobia, hate or religious bigotry toward people who happen, among other qualities in their life to be homosexuals, a group of insecure, unhappy people just hate!

There is poverty, misery, unemployment, drought,dictatorships ten fold and more, yet political leaders and for profit pundents conjure up visions of Nazi soldiers at sunrise, Anarchists running amuck, Armageddon on the rise just because a simple freedom, based on the ideals that all men and women are created equal is being tested. The insincerity of homophobia is like a rash whose itch is craved by people who have little idea of democracy and greater distrust for love. It is as if the words “I do” are the foreword of a curse designed to deliver the Devil. Never a mention of the heterosexuals who are on their third or fourth marriages, or spousal abuse by straight married partners. No soap box dissertation regarding infidelity, adultery or sham marriages not based on love rather societal pressure. Just harangue after harangue regarding the fear that love might just conquer all.

I am not a Nazi, an anarchist, I have no agenda to recruit others into my lair of Gayness. I do not question your insincerity or difficulty in understanding true love. I want to be able to say “I do” because I actually do love another. We heard the same rantings and ravings from protectors of democracy and God when interracial couples wanted to marry. We were told God never intended on mixing the races or that the Founding Fathers did not state clearly the slave should marry the master. The saddest thing about telling other “You don’t” is just how small minded, and empty are the people who talk about love but never seem to experience it.
