THE right to life…liberty and pursuit of happiness…the declaration of independence. Imagine…most of human history these ideas were not seen as “inalienable rights.” It is our position that every American has these rights. Notice is does not say the “right to happiness” meaning, there is no guarantee of happiness but you do have the right to pursue it! So with the upcoming election…think about how to most protect your constitutional rights. It is our position that citizens of the United States of America who are also members or identify as LGTBQ have these rights as well…because these people…not only are they American but they are HUMAN. This blog started as a way to talk about marriage equality in terms of the benefits to the economy and American Society…but it really is founded on constitutional ideas of democracy and freedom. Can we not have CIVIL discourse? LGBTQ people in our opinion have the right to exist in America…as Americans without being bullied, Gay Bashed or otherwise demonized, as long as our fellow Americans behave lawfully and civilly. Moreover, getting married, going to church, being employed and owning businesses…same idea. If you get bent around the axel about a gay person getting married…then go to your church that may or may not offer marriage ceremonies like you believe. It is just that simple.
You have freedom of association in America.
You do not have to live or go to church with the lgbtq community. It would be a shame that you feel this way because you might meet some absolutely wonderful fellow Americans.
There are many benefits to being married with reference to legal protections and health and happiness. Humans are by design social animals and family and friends and these types of living arrangements add in our opinion to the stability of society. (LEGAL ISSUES)
