Marriage Wars

Yeah, so I heard that four states have now legalized gay marriage. Kudos to the bigwigs in the state legislation for making a stand for the LGBT community! ^^
Now, I heard of this commercial against this whole thing from the National Organization of Marriage (for some odd reason, I'm finding this whole organization hard to believe, one of those WTF moments for me) where they're saying that legalizing gay mariage is going to force them to change their lives or some shit like that. Honestly, I'm lost. How on earth is legalizing gay marriage forcing people to change their lifestyle? I see a change in society, but not much change in how we live. If you ask me, these people are taking this thing way too far.
Also, I think that it's a weak ass argument to say that gay marriage is bad because that's not what God wants. This whole religion issue just pisses me off. Doesn't God say that we shouldn't pass swift judgement on others based on their appearance? Yeah, he also says that judgement should be brought on to the wicked or something like that, but this really doesn't justify their posistion on not legalizing gay marriage.
In a nutshell, gay marriage being legal is not the end of the world. It's not like a black hole will open in the universe or the apocalypse will spontaneously take place. Yeah, there's gonna be major change in our lives, but to those that think that their democracy is being endangered with this whole thing should stop thinking about themselves. In truth, the only people who has a right to say that are the ones in the LGBT community. Other than that, there's really nothing else to say on the matter.

Laters!! ^^
