Gay Marriage.

I cannot believe she is over fifty years old.  Cindy McCain, wife of Senator John McCain, posed for a NOH8 campaign poster and looks… amazing.  I’m sure there was a lot of photoshopping going on, but I have seen videos of her during John McCains presidential run and she looked amazing there too. 

Is marriage only between a man and a woman?  I say no.

Some opponents of gay marriage say its only natural that marriage is the union between a man and a woman.  It takes a man and woman to mate, produce offspring, and keep our species going.  Lets face it, marriage is not the prerequisite for sex and reproduction; the people who believe we need to get married before we have sex and reproduce are the religious and the parents of daughters who want them to have sex… NEVER (If I have a daughter I want her to be a Nun).  Reality is, some couples can and do have children before marriage. 

What about sterile men or women?  Are they not allowed to get married because they are unable to produce children?

With the option to adopt and the development of artificial insemination, couples gay or straight no longer need to be able to produce children of their own.

There are even those who go so far as to argue that preventing same-sex marriage is NOT discrimination.  The argument is that there is no discrimination, they say anyone who wants to get married can get married as long as they meet the requirement of being a man and a woman.  Come on really???  Based on that argument, I assume those people would also agree that separate but equal was not discrimination; Black children who were not allowed in White schools were not discriminated against, it was just because they did not “meet the requirement” of being white.   I guess Abercrombie and Fich was also not practicing discriminatory hiring practices, because some people just didn’t ”meet the requirement” of being young buff white males.

In Martin Luther King Jr’s “letter from a Birmingham jail” he gives the arguments for what is an unjust law, king says ”an unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal.”  That description sounds awfully familiar.
