What are your views on Gay Marriage?

Here we go, the one we’ve been waiting for. I have a lot to say.

I think this country is in terrible shape. No, I am not pointing fingers nor am I taking sides. I have opinions that agree with both Democrat and Republican. My concern is that “We are land of the free and proud” and “Equality for All Man”.

Um tell me what’s wrong with those two statements?

If we are so free and proud then why do we condemn the marriage between two people of the same sex? If we are so equal, why is a whole community segregated/discriminated against?

When does the equality include every single person? I understand it takes time and the mere thought of two men or woman marrying goes against certain beliefs, religions and political parties.

But I wake up every morning, I put my pants on one leg at a time, I go to work every single day and I pay taxes .My money can be spent anywhere in the world. The government takes taxes out of each and every single pay check. I can be a donor. I vote. I think I am a good person. Yet, because who I chose to love and who I want to marry, makes me less American than any race, sex, religion and so on. We can have illegal immigrants move to our county, receive assistance, a social security check and all the benefits of anyone who was born in this county. (Don’t battle me on that, I work for Macomb County, I see it every day, so don’t give me any load of bullshit. I will knock you to the ground). Yet, I cannot marry who chose to love.

Being gay is not a choice, nor is it something that is wrong. My name is Nicholas Austin and I am a man, a man who happens to be gay. My gender and whom I chose to love does not define me, nor does it give me special rights. But it should give me equal rights . Rights that were signed with the Declaration of Independence.

African American people can claim they are segregated against because of slavery, Arabic people can complain they are discriminated against because of 9/11. Chinese people feel the same way because they are of a nationality that the men must have small penises and woman only make rice or do nails. That’s like saying only men can work and woman must remain at home on their backs, spitting children out and taking care of the home. That is asinine. Except all those things about those nationalities and sex is that they can get married (man and woman).

Some states have lifted the ban on Gay Marriage and I applaud them. There are only a few states that it is legal though. When will the county unite in UNITY for all?

You may be thinking “Move to those places” or “It’s not right”. Well who are you to judge what’s right and what’s wrong? People were created in Gods eyes. Only God (or whomever you chose to believe in) can judge someone. It’s obvious that if God was so against gay people, then we wouldn’t have been created. I know that my God loves me, and I know my God is forgiving. If he didn’t want me the way I am, well then I wouldn’t be here. I make no apologies for who and what I am. My name is Nicholas Austin and I am a man, a man who happens to be gay. My gender does not define me.
