So today at lunch, I got into a heated argument over gay marriage with two of my friends. Basically, they started talking and they're both religious so they're both under the belief that gay marriage is wrong, that gay people are damned to hell because they're different and that it needs to stay illegal where we are. (My friends words: if you want to do that, you need to the leave the state and go somewhere where it's legal so I don't have to see that)
Honestly, this is where religious people really bother me. I mean, if you have a religion that's fine. Personally, I'm agnostic/atheist. But when religious people start saying stuff like that, I get mad. (I've had quite a few bad experiences with the super religious people who can basically make you feel like complete shit because you don't hold their beliefs and then they tell you you're going to hell because you don't read the Bible or go to church.) Like, religious people can sometimes be some of the most judgmental people ever.
Honestly, WHO CARES. With gay marriage, it's not affecting you or your beliefs in any way, and I personally think that the government could be regulating a lot more important things than gay marriage. Who cares who you like? You should have a right to be happy without having to leave your state to go get married. And I mean you don't really get a choice? People are so stuck up with their traditional beliefs that are apparently the gospel from the Bible that they don't realize shaming gay marriage is a form of bullying just because someone is different. All anyone wants is to be happy, is that seriously too much to ask for?
I also didn't realize how strongly I felt about gay marriage until today. But yeah. There's my rant for the day.
