Ehh, I'm not against gay marriage, but I still don't believe homosexuality comes naturally because my cousin used to have a friend who was gay, and his brother talked him into becoming gay.

Well, I believe it is natural. I don't understand how the brother could have talked him into becoming gay...if he suddenly started to like men afterwards, it probably means it was there all along.

Did not know that.

We've had Civil Partnership. This is pretty much marriage just without being called marriage.

took them long ♥♥♥♥

Also, I read some of the background of part of the case that was brought to the Supreme Court, and basically two guys from Ohio (where same-sex marriage wasn't legal at the time), one of whom was probably going to die soon (cancer? something else? don't remember), promised each other that they would marry before the one's death. They went to Maryland, where same-sex marriage was legal, and got married, and then they moved back to Ohio. A few months later, the one guy died, and Ohio refused to list the other guy's name under "surviving spouse" or whatever on the death certificate. And from there, it went up through the court system, and finally was combined with a bunch of other cases and was sent to the US Supreme Court recently.

So, yeah. That's pretty ♥♥♥♥ up and I'm definitely glad this is a thing now.

I also heard a story about some priest or something who promised to set himself on fire if it was legalized (not sure if he actually went through with it but that's beside the point). I don't really understand the logic behind that, because, I mean, if you don't like it, you're not being forced to participate. It doesn't affect you if you just don't. But apparently it matters too much to some people. I almost feel kind of bad saying it, but honestly, if you're really that upset about it, then go right ahead. The world's probably going to be better off without people like that.

Yeah. Some states didn't even have civil unions, like Ohio, which had NO, NOT IN MY STATE (they had active language in their law saying that they will not recognize unions made in other states).

Also, Darwin Awards are called that because you have improved the overall survivability of the Human race by removing your stupid self from the gene pool, and will create no more stupid people. There are people out there that are being so stupid about certain situations, that they earn a Darwin Award on their death. Just saying. (*cough priest on fire*)

As far as I know, the Darwin Award isn't destined for people who kill themselves in an act of furiousness about political developments whatsoever, so said priest wouldn't be a candidate for it. It's for people that die because of blatant un-cautiousness or self-overestimation, such as the following:

• bungee-jumping and the rope is far longer than the distance between the bridge and the ground
• throwing yourself against a window pane in your 24th floor office to demonstrate its stability to others, guess what happened
• watching a solar eclipse with those special glasses while driving
• robbing a bank and blasting the cashpoint with so much explosive material that the entire building collapses

And yay for a not unimportant step towards a better society.

Gay marriage huh? Normal to me. Except stupid people laugh at gay marriage. But ones female marry female or male marry male it's like two female/male living together as friends.

I'm pretty sure it's more like two females or two males living together as spouses more than it is as friends, because it's, y'know, marriage, but yeah, that's kind of the idea.

I don't care. As many others said before me, they have a right to love anyone, samesex or not.
