Ok, so I am conservative, religious, and so I have been concerned and paying somewhat attention to this whole gay marriage thing in California. Ellen getting married doesn’t help because as a human being, I love Ellen, and I want her to be happy…but I don’t think it’s good for society. And I would risk her happiness for society’s well being. So I was thinking about it the other day and homosexuality doesn’t make sense if you are secular and scientific or if you are religious.

Any species that was homosexual, or mated with it’s own gender would soon die out. You need to be able to repopulate. If you are religious, at least if you are Christian, then the bible and religious leaders condemn homosexual activity. So…why is it so accepted, especially when it is such a minority? It must be that there is a gene that is tied to homosexuality and those attributes that lead to Hollywood stars, or maybe the Hollywood lifestyle leads to homosexual tendencies. Who knows.

I hope hope hope I don’t sound like a bigot because I really don’t consider myself one. I really love and respect other people, cultures etc. With that said, to me it is similar to black people being over-represented in commercials. You know, having a token black guy or guys in there, just so you’re not excluding anyone. But it doesn’t always hold true to the populations’ demographic. (Like I said, I have nothing against black people) It is also true of homosexuals/gays/lesbians whatever. There are not that many gay people in the United States for them to be in every group, like they are portrayed as being in the media. They are over represented and so we are risking major societal upheaval in the near future for a very small minority. It would not be good if the population of homosexuals grew as before mentioned, because we need to replenish our population. But giving the title of marriage and representing them as so common in the media normalizes an anomaly.

Ok, I am gonna probably offend a few people here, but I do not wish to. I wish to express a point of view. I have talked to a few gay people about being gay. One guy asked me, “how would you feel if you never got to touch a guy, even though that’s what you’re attracted to.” Well, it would suck. Another person told me, “It’s not my fault, I never chose to be gay. When did you decide you liked guys?” Yeah, true, I just am attracted to guys. Now, here comes the hard part. Brace yourself. Pedophiles are people who are attracted to children. Sometimes it’s due to abuse and sometimes it is just the way they are. At what point do we draw the line? They didn’t choose to be attracted to children. They didn’t choose to be abused. They don’t get to touch who they are attracted to. Not fair? What if we called them Pedosexual? Would that make it ok?

I think it is a difficult thing to be attracted to a type of person you aren’t “supposed” to be. That is a trial. So 2% of the population doesn’t get to have the title “married.” You know, I know people in wheelchairs who will never get to be married, who will never get to be intimate with the opposite sex. It is a part of life. It sucks, but that doesn’t make a person’s actions socially responsible or moral because it would be “unfair.”
