Over the past few months many people have approached me on my stance on my official position on gay marriage. Basically, I don't care. Not only do I not care if gays get married, it is none of my business. It's a full-time job for me just to keep up with the latest news on LC from the Hills, I don't have the energy to fret about somebody else's libido.
Hard as it is to counter such brilliant logic, my position hasn't changed. The only serious concern I have about gays getting married is that they'll register someplace pricey. My church is serious about the sanctity of marriage. I get that. But aren't more potentially "dangerous" marriages already being performed out there? For example, I hear in church all the time about marriage being ordained of God. But I also hear about how the glory of God is intelligence. Shouldn't it be against the law for stupid people to get married? What's more harmful to society - two well-dressed men getting married and settling down, or two idiots tying the knot and cranking out any number of additional idiots? You should have to pass a harder test to get married than the one we currently have. Essentially, there are but two questions: "How old are you?" and "Is that your sister?" Hell, you could pass this test just by guessing. There are drawbacks. Most people get married when hormones and youth make them about as dumb as they'll ever be. So, even a relatively easy test would by default raise the age limit to about 40. With an increased marriage age limit, there would be fewer births. Genealogy would become easier to do. With fewer births, there would be fewer children born gay. Hey, isn't that what Heavenly Father would want?
OK, I was just kidding about that. But if you're really serious about putting a stop to gay sex, let them get married.
Is there a blog term for latergram?

One of the funniest posts I have read on Prop 8. So this sums it up which is a relief cause you know that my religious and personal beliefs are that marriage is ordained of God and meant to be between a man and a woman, And based on my affection for you, if you choose to marry I would still really want to throw you a really great shower and do the flowers at the ceremony. So maybe in honor of your position, I'll get you the toaster you deserve--wait you'd probably want the really fancy 6 slotted euro stainless steel version. You let me know.
I'd say a combination of Pot Pot, Restoration Hardware, Crate & Barrel and some other way fancy place that will make their home the most fabulous on the block. Good post Steve, lots of truth there. PS...start the countdown for my arrival.....15 days!!!!!
Steve even though you are a pain in the butt sometimes I agree with you 100%. Which is worse in the eyes of God a child that grows up with a gay couple, or a child that is beaten every day by his father while his crack addicted mother is passed out in the bathroom? I'll let the peanut gallery decide that one. You should be commended for even making a stance on this situation considering your circumstances with family and religion.
Oh and by the way Natalie and I want to get you the books that you asked for from Grandma Dickson. You know the ones she wasn't using when you asked to have them, and the next day they were up on her shelves in the living room.
I don't see how gay people getting married in a state sanctioned ceremony affects the sanctity of the institution. If California told Mormon Clergy that they had to marry gay couples, that's where I would have a problem. It's interesting that $60 million has been spent by both sides of Prop 8. This issue was a game changer on the national stage in 2004, but has barely been a whisper in this general election.
