Spun

One of these days someone is going to have to explain the logic behind the idea that someone else's choice of spouse somehow delegitimises my marriage.

Let's face it. We're not living in the most comforting of times. Our economy exists at the whim of a despotic Chinese regime. Our government is inept and lacking anything even resembling fortitude- and the only alternative government is a morally bankrupt mishmash of douchebags and f-wits led by a fundy with a cockjock fixation. If the hippies are right, we're mere years away from being drowned by the rising oceans or burned to a crisp by the sun. And England's about to beat us in a home Ashes series.

Take a look around, folks. The world is kinda f-ed right now. And it doesn't look like it's getting much better anytime soon. The last thing in the world that I'm going to spend my time worrying about is whether some guy wants to marry pole or canyon.

The trouble I have with this whole issue is that I really don't understand why people are so f-ing worked up over it. Seriously- who the hell care who someone else wants to hook up with?

And don't give me that "sanctity of marriage" shit, either. People get married simply because the franger split and they can't afford child support. Strippers can marry octogenarians who happen to have an oil company and a Viagra prescription. People can get married because they won a f-ing reality show. People go to f-ing Vegas every single day to gamble and get sloshed, and wake up the next morning with a empty pockets, a venereal disease and a cheap gold-plated band around their finger. Even Judge f-ing Judy was allowed to marry, divorce and remarry the same guy.

All of this is perfectly legal, and with the exception of a few rolled eyes and a few tabloid headlines, nobody gives a stuff. Yet when a couple of gay guys decide to stand up in front of their people and make some promises, people lose their f-ing minds.

I just don't get it. My marriage is important to me, and nothing that anyone (other than myself and the bride, of course) does with their own lives will either validate or cheapen it. I'm secure in my relationship and I know that the only endorsement my marriage needs comes from the two of us.

Not for nothing, but if you think that homos getting the right to marry is capable of devaluing your own marriage, the only person diminishing the sanctity of your marriage is you.
