I'm all for equal rights. I have many LGB&T friends out there and I think they should absolutely be able to marry because it's none of the governments business. Same sex couples and dual sex couples should have the same rights.
But come on. Do we have to drag the current marriage establishment through the mud to prove a point? I get it. There are some sad facts out there. Rich people marry for weeks or months only to get it erased, people cheat on their spouses ect. But lately I've felt like people are out right attacking the marriages already out there because right now it says not everyone can have one.
I'm straight and married with two great kids, one 8 and one 4. We married young, we married because I was pregnant, my husband is in the military, AND my oldest child is pretty severely autistic. The odds are stacked DRAMATICALLY against us and I will be honest, it has not been a picnic, but we've worked hard on our relationship and I am proud to say we've been married for over 8 years now.
I guess I just don't really like the way it feels like people are generalizing the current institution of marriage and trashing it like everyone currently married disregards it as if it doesn't matter. Does that make sense? I'm rambling... Ignore me.
