Recently the Governor of Washington introduced a bill into the state legislature that would allow for gays and lesbians to finally get married. This is something that has been a long time coming and for a few reasons. Yet as soon as it was announced there were people proposing bills in the legislature that would define marriage as between a man and a woman. These people are idiots. I have every right to say that because it is an undeniable fact.
First let's talk about how Skyrim is better than America in this aspect. In Skyrim I just got married and it was a same-sex marriage. I did this mostly because he is a blacksmith and I can now get free weapons and armor not because I have an urge to marry a dude. I didn't have to jump through hoops to get him to marry me either. Neither did people think me a defiler of the sanctity of marriage. The people of Skyrim actually seemed overjoyed that we had finally found love together. So if a video game, based in a medieval world, can allow same-sex marriage why can't America?
The idiots make and argument that marriage is between a man and a woman because the bible says so. The people who want same-sex marriage say this is a blatant violation of separation of church and state but I think the matter is so much deeper then that. This is not an issue of religious values dictating policy this is an issue of religious beliefs of some being foisted on the backs of the all. A major factor in the creation of America is the right for every person to believe in the religion of their choice. So by stating that we must make laws based on the bible would be in direct violation of that inalienable right that America is based on. So how do the opponents of gay marriage not see this?
They say that this will lead to things like polygamy and marriage to animals. Yet marriage is a union between two people. Why would we ever let someone marry their dog or cat. Animals are seen as property and therefore marrying your dog or cat would be like marrying your television. They could also argue that it could lead to the marriage of adults to children. This is something we would never allow. Children are the most protected class of citizen and there is no way anyone would ever think it okay to propose a law to allow lecherous old men to marry little 10 year old girls. If some guy did that he would be shot on site.
So let's recap. Skyrim allows same-sex marriage without all the hassle and discrimination. It has nothing to do with separation of church and state and is all about religious freedom. Lastly we will never allow someone the right to marry their television so why allow them the right to marry their dog.
