Gay marriage legal in all 50 states! This is a great step of progress for humanity. I am for equal rights. And equal misery. Why shouldn't everyone be allowed to know the joy and misery of being legally bound to someone in matrimonial hell. Don't get me wrong there are perks to marriage. Like sharing debt, not having to cook everyday, sharing parenting duties, health insurance and having someone to help troubleshoot life's problems. But there are two sides to every coin. You also get someone to fight with full time over the smallest annoyances in life, you suddenly have to get permission to spend your money, make decisions about how you spend your time and that special person to fight over the blankets with, farts and snores and scrutinize your every move. I want to go to Korea for my friends wedding. But no. I'm not allowed to because I had to ask permission and was told no and a huge fight ensued because "why would I want to do that anyways". I want to go travel through SE Asia while I'm in japan. Again not allowed because the guy doesn't want me to go. If I was single parenting I could schedule it on my off time or find a sitter and just go without leaving behind an angry spouse that I have to return to and cohabitate with.
No these things should not be Things only heterosexuals should enjoy.
Let everyone have the equal opportunity at eternal bliss and misery!
Everyone should be allowed to know the joys of parenting too! It makes you a better person. As I am writing this I just told Mikey to pull up his pants and go do your homework because he was mooning his brother. I have Broken up multiple arguments about going to the pool. Negotiated like a pro hostage negotiater to get Mikey to unlock the door to his room and come out and sit down to do his homework. Ah Sunday morning.
