On Wednesday NY lawmakers voted against a bill to legalize gay marriage. Gay marriage is legal in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts and Vermont. A New Hampshire law takes effect Jan. 1. Only 6 states out of our 50 believe in equality for all it's citizens. Really?! I know that despite our claims of separation between church and state we as Americans still value the bibles teachings, but this is the 21st century. It seems a little hypocritical that we uphold our bible but judge others that live by theirs. We are quick to brand a Muslim a terrorist but refuse to give law abiding, tax paying citizens the right to love who they want to love.
It makes me sick to my stomach that we can't prioritize when it comes to our laws. I would much rather lawmakers make stricter penalties for people that commit crimes against children or organize a taskforce to solve cold cases then decide whats right for people when it comes to relationship. Two men that decide they want to get madried doesnt threaten me or my idea of marriage at all but a predator roaming the streets because he was let out of jail early does! People protest against adults making personal decisions but don't move to act against youth violence or our failing education system.
When will more important issues get their day to be reviewed? Or are they not popular enough to be relevant? Get it together America!
