Today we have the issue of gay marriage
that is creating division across American, and many places around the
world. We have two sides, both are entrenched and unwilling to budge
a fraction of an inch. There was national outrage by
progressives when a pizza owner said she wouldn't cater gay
weddings(doesn't cater any weddings), but would, and have, happily
welcomed gays daily as a customer. There was a threat to burn down the eatery. The owners
received death threats. They were harassed to the point they were
forced to close until conservatives came to their aid.
People divide this issue along the
lines of religion and discrimination. Both sides have valid points. I
say we just need to solve the problem. The easiest way, or at least
simplest sounding, is to remove marriage from government. We have
couples of the same gender, and of opposite gender, that choose to
make a lifetime commitment. Even heterosexual couples sometimes
choose not to enter into a government devised contract. Because a
couple chooses not to get married, or can't because of laws, they
cannot take advantage of certain government benefits.
