Comment on Surprising Report About Tulare County by micahstwocents

micahstwocents — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:14:19 +0000

As a gay man, I can safely say it is discrimination, especially in an uber-conservative area like Tulare County. Whether the reason for denying same-sex couples equal rights under the law is in the name of tradition, religion, or both, discrimination is discrimination. The law is supposed to grant all people equal rights and protections, despite what one group may think of another.

And, I’m not religious (haven’t been for a couple years now). I understand the Christian view of homosexuality quite well since I used to embrace it. However, once I realized that a) I can’t change my sexuality any more than I can change my eye color, b) that the universe operates by the laws of physics, and c) that there is no evidence to back up the frequently judgmental, condescending message and claims of Christianity, I reevaluated my life.

I’m living my life, knowing that once I die, that’s it. Game over. I want my time in the sun to be filled with love, laughter and change. I want to do my part in making the world a better place, as cliché as that may sound. I’m gay. I’m not religious. I’m an American. I’m human. I want happiness and fulfillment just as much as you and everyone else does.

I wouldn’t call it “discrimination.” I have 2 cousins who are gay & I love them and am glad to call them family, but it doesn’t make their lifestyle right. God created marriage to be between a man and a woman, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Embracing a gay culture is very lukewarm-ish on our parts as Christians, but loving the gay community while speaking the truth in love is what we should be doing. It’s not always easy to find that balance, but as Christians, as Tulare County, we need to figure out how to tell truth in love because merely embracing something that God called “wrong” is not the way to be either.

What’s one of the first steps? Gaining the American public’s trust on Nuclear Energy. Currently, if anything nuclear is mentioned, no matter what it is, most people imagine the typical “meltdown-everybody-dies” situation. In reality, Nuclear codes are ridiculously strict and nuclear energy is crazt efficient.
