Well, it's been a while since I've done a regular update, so I figure I might as well give it a whirl. I was watching TV the other day (Which is rarer than most of you might think) and they were discussing the big hubbub over gay marriage rights, and I thought I'd at least weigh in with my opinion (Seeing how this thing will never get resolved as long as I am silent about it).

Anybody who reads the site regularly knows that I am a supporter of the gay lifestyle, and have been known to occasionally accidentally experiment in gay sex (He had pretty hair, what can I say?).

I'm not really sure what the big deal is. That's a pretty broad statement, and there's a reason for that, because there are two things I don't really understand:

1.) Why is it such a big deal that homosexuals want to get married? And don't start whipping out the "Sins in the eyes of Lord Almighty Jehovah Jumpy Dinger Danger Dong Doody God" bullshit. This is a political issue, and religion has no place in politics or the government... even though our money has "In God We Trust" written on it.... and our "president" is a Bible-quoter and drops God's name like they used to share an apartment or something... Okay... fine... Point made.

What are people afraid of? That if we allow gay marriages, then we're just accepting a moral reprehensible lifestyle? Was "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" not one of the biggest hits last year? Didn't Elton John (The queeniest of the queens) play at Princess Diana AND Mother Theresa's funerals? Don't I look good in these tight little short-shorts and this fishnet tee?

Oh... sorry.

The fact is... The homosexuals have won. Slowly they've been integrating their beliefs and lifestyles in our everyday lives. And now they even have a word for people who act gay: "Metrosexual" or "Queer-Lite" or "Feygger." Whichever one.

Point in case is that even though there are still some discriminating individuals (Read: rednecks) who still get red in the face when they think of two men who, even though beer and hunting are not involved, engage in slamming each other's butts, homosexuality is pretty much accepted now.

The other point I had to make is this:

2.) Most gay guys I don't know scoff at the idea of getting married. Part of the gay lifestyle (The part where they're not getting constantly persecuted and called names) is about living vicarious and free. It's about experiencing all that life has to offer. It's about a life-time supply of Trojans and enough KY to lube up the Statue of Liberty and insert it into your anus.

To may gay friends, "settling down" means taking a Vicodin and then just chilling for the night.

John Waters was on a radio show recently and he had the same thing to say: That most of his generation of gay men weren't looking to get married. They were looking to have fun. Of course, the next person they interviewed was a hardcore bigot from Alabama who had this to say:

"Fine. Let the faggots and the queers have their marriage. Just as long as the n**gers don't get to vote."

(A short pause, somebody can be heard whispering in the the background)

"Wha- WHAT? Son of a bitch!"

I, for one, say that gay's should be allowed to marry. I think if a gay person meets another gay person and they want to spend the rest our their gay lives in gay wedded bliss, then that's their goddamn gay right!

GAY!

Sorry. I like that word.

Anyway... I have one other topic I'd like to touch on. The movie "The Passion of the Christ" just came out recently, and I've been noticing a lot of people taking their small children to see it.

NO! NO! NO! NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO!

Now I'm going to talk like somebody who gives a shit in religion and morals for a second. Don't get scared, I'm only trying to speak in phrases and words that religious people understand.

I can understand the need to instill certain morals in a child. Part of this includes teaching your child the story of Jesus, and how he suffored for us. It's a great story of forgiveness and sacrifice, and I think the overall statement it makes is a positive, if not sad one.

However, you should not instill this by taking your little one's to a movie where a man is beaten and tortured for two hours. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't take my little cousin to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in the hopes of instilling the lesson of never having your car break down in the middle of nowhere where a chainsaw-wielding, flesh-wearing psychopath can kill you. On second thought, I would take my little cousin to see "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" over seeing "The Passion" just because "Chainsaw Massacre" is less violent and less likely to scar my little cousin for life.

Want to instill religious beliefs and idealology into your children? Read to them from the Bible.

In my eyes, violence in movies is violence in movies. And this is a very violent movies. When somebody chucks a rock at Jesus and it connects with his head, he bleeds and he is in pain. Little birds do not swarm his head, chirping loudly as Jesus shakes it off.

Well... I think that's all I have to say for now. My dad has some heart problems that just came to my families attention, and I need to go spend some time with him.
