What's the Downside?


The hoopla over gay marriage just keeps on coming at us. So what if Miss California states her opinion? She was asked a question and she answered it honestly. Although 55% of the citizenry still oppose the legalization of two people in love, surely the end of this nonsense cannot be far away.

I am a married Southern Baptist and I don't want to watch two men ever do anything under the covers, or even kiss on the street, but that does not mean that I cannot name a zillion reasons to go ahead and let the fat Lesbian sing!

I guess it would be a bad thing for the state closest to bankruptcy to raise its level of economic activity? Here is a small list of all those nasty, horrible, things that would be likely to show a marked increase in business if gay marriage is legalized in California: marriage licenses, engagement rings, wedding rings, florists, divorce lawyers, houses, Home Depot, Lowe's, nurseries, baby adoptions, pet adoptions, wedding chapels, churches, life insurance policies, tuxedo rentals, wedding apparel retailers, and many, many more.

Would a married gay man be more likely to proposition a straight man for sex? Would a married Lesbian be more likely to choose to break up a heterosexual marriage? What the hell are those 55% so afraid of, that someone who does something in private that you don't like will be able to apply for health insurance? Maybe you don't like it when one of them signs some life-or-death document for his or her loved one of the same sex at the hospital. Maybe you are just too busy being mad at Obama for raising the tax rates on millionaires by 3%! Maybe you were a Tea Bagger last week. Does it make you go eeeuuuuwwww at the thought of gay men tea bagging, too? Do you even know what that means? I bet Miss California does!

So what is the downside to letting gay people have the same rights and privileges as the rest of us? I know. We think straight people should be the only ones fortunate enough to have to pay exorbitant lawyer fees to get divorced! Aside from all the yelps of delight from divorce lawyers, I cannot think of a single logical reason to oppose gay marriage. What's the downside? All I can hear are crickets....

I could care less about gay marriage. But I'm all for it as long as the gay divorces are televised because you know they will make for some good reality television. Judge Judy could host!

"I said I'm taking the poodle and the velvet drapes!"

"Oh no, gurl, I made them drapes with my bare hands. They're mine, beeotch!"

Let the slap fights ensue!!
