On the Public Declaration of Love Between Two IndividualsA Poem by delapruchTo sign the Human Rights Campaign “Millions for Marriage” petition: http://www.millionsformarriage.orgto those that hold the institution of marriage to be something beautiful--- a way of declaring your unending love to another human being in front of all your friends & family, and not just a legally binding contract which makes you look good on tax forms and lets you get a better deal on health care in the united states, one always wonders why it is that they feel they need such a contract to do so?
does love need to be legally defined? regardless of your answer to that question, what does need to be defined in the so-called “land of the free,” is just exactly how free we actually are--- for the denial of the right for members of the same sex to declare their love to each other in the same fashion as those who are of the opposite sex, and to exist with all of the benefits given to heterosexual married couples is an abomination of “biblical proportions” (this phrase is used to express BIG things like all the BIG FICTIONAL EVENTS which occur in said work of fiction---it is often the only unit of measurement that narrow-minded bible thumpers can comprehend).
still living in the dark ages, we the people of the united states are forced to abide by the horrific statements spawned in the book of leviticus, spreading a disease of homophobic bigotry throughout, which has been responsible for centuries of oppression & murder bestowed upon individuals who were born with a different sexual preference than the supposedly heterosexual (intercourse with camels, goats & chickens doesn’t factor into this definition) men who were having sex with numerous young girls whom they didn’t even allow the right to read--- kudos to these “holy men,” who have sodomized civilization for this long & are still doing so in the 21ST CENTURY.
this is not rocket science--- equal rights for people living within this “democracy,” means that EVERYONE GETS EVERYTHING--- no one is to be excluded on the basis of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, class, religion, and for that matter, their absence of religion.
it is time for the government of the united states--- the “leader of the free world,” to follow suit with the likes of argentina, belgium, canada, iceland, the netherlands, norway, portugal, south africa, spain & sweden & LET THEIR CITIZENS DECLARE THEIR LOVE TO EACH OTHER THROUGH
THE INSTITUTION OF that means not having to call it something else--- that means not having to feel separated from your fellow heterosexual citizens--- that means not being discriminated against--- that means no longer depriving those who desire such a beautiful day, as the one in which they are able to express something that is growing to be so rare--- that is, a loving commitment to another individual, amidst all the murder, chaos, destruction and sadness in the world, which we are all still forced to endure. © 2011 delapruch |
