Recently homosexuals, male or female, were granted the right
to marry. I used to oppose this idea and wondered why a civil union was not
more appropriate. Later on I was convinced by the sheer magnitude of the rights
granted through marriage rather than a civil union. I don't understand the
lifestyle but do not oppose their marriage anymore. One of the things that came
with the marriage was the idea that they wanted monogamous relationships that
were sanctioned by law. Now here's what I don't understand:
how do bisexuals fit in with this philosophy? It seems they
are left out of this whole marriage thing. How then are they lumped in together
when they are left Out of the legal marriage thing? Somewhere along the way
definitions have to be made and laws made. So this latest law still leaves out
a multiple marriage or polygamy. No matter what you do you still have to define
something. I am of the opinion that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Our laws differ in that as a law-abiding citizen I have to accept this. Again,
I still don't understand that choice of lifestyle.
I also don't really understand transgender. When
I was growing up a transgender person was one that was physically indeterminate
and struggled with physical problems associated. Now I find out it is a mental
thing. I can't say I understand that. I always thought you play the hand you're
dealt. Growing up I wanted to be a major league baseball catcher. Over time I
came to realize I did not have the physical attributes to be one. I still wish
I could've been one but moved on with the realities that I just didn't have it.
So I'm really confused by people who just don't accept what they are. I'm not
saying I don't have sympathy or empathy but maybe I have a different
generational attitude.
