Sitting Here at the Writing Center

Do you ever have those humdrum days at work? Right now, I don' t have much to do. I'm just chilling here, waiting for the day to pass so that I can go home. I really enjoyed my sister's blog today about how Ellen Degeneres and Portia deRossi had their wedding day. I think it's sweet that they got married, even though I am LDS and we don't believe in homosexuality. I mean, it's not accepted in our church, but I still feel very tender and very happy for gay people. I don't want to kill them just because they choose to live a different life than me. I don't see how others could think that they are scum, when they are beautiful just like anybody else. It doesn't make sense to me, and I think that respect should go both ways when looking at people we don't understand.

I think personally that marriage is something personal. I don't really think that it should be a national law to ban whatever kinds of marriage at all. It just doesn't feel right, when I know that there are more important laws to pass, laws about our economy that need to be taken care of. It's our responsibility that we should not have another recession, and that's what government should step in for. As for personal morals and decisions, it should be left to everybody to choose what they may. Would it necessarily hurt you, destroy what you believe in if you see gay people getting married (may I add they most likely find the way to do it anyway)?

It makes sense that government should be left out of personal decisions, and only when we feel our nation is in distress of falling apart, that the government's job is to unite the country. We call this the United States, and that makes a huge difference in our policy. Should we go farther and say that we should all be united in our morality, our religion or our political standing? Most believe that there shouldn't be diversity in these areas so that makes them right. I believe this is not so.
