Morality....

This post has been a long time coming and mainly because I have been trying to actually form some thoughts.

This whole Carrie Prejean thing really gets to me. Not because of what she said or didn't say, but because of the way opinions in this country have become. I'm not sure when it happened, but apparently if you are on one side of the fence in an issue, then you hope the opposite side catches the Ebola virus. And to quote Chris Rock, "That ain't right."

She opposes gay marriage. Big deal. So does half of the country. That's what is great about our nation. If that's what you believe, then run with it. I have no problem with her beliefs, I just have a problem with the way they have been presented. More on this later.

I personally do not oppose gay marriage. I believe everyone has equal rights. We live in a country full of ancestry that dates back to any other place on the planet. Immigrants came to this country because they had a dream of a place where they wouldn't be persecuted over any issue. And our country has unfortunately persecuted just about everyone who is deemed "different." Whether you are gypsy, Irish, black, or gay, chances are you have been persecuted. And quite frankly, that's a load of crap. People are people. No more no less. I mean if this wasn't true, don't you think the Bill of Rights would have an asterisk.

Back to Prejean, who is now going on every program imaginable to discuss the plight of the American family because of gays. That's pure horseshit. The plight of the American family has to do with changing times, not homosexuals. It has to do with people being so obsessed with their own greed, that they don't give their family the time of day. That's where the plight comes from, not gays. I still can't believe in 2000 effing 9 we as a people can't accept the fact that some men prefer the company of other men. Or that some women would rather be with other women. It boggles the mind that we are so set in our ways to think this way.

And as for Prejean, she can think any way she wants because that is her right. But to try and bastardize the situation and become a celebrity off of a beauty pageant question is insulting. She will not go away until everyone has heard her message, and that's okay. The only problem is the way she stumbled upon her path. Had she been an advocate before all of this hi jinks is one thing. But what she has done is the complete opposite.

I know I won't change any ones mindset, and I'm fine with that. I'm just bringing out the morality of any situation. When you boil everything down to the meat and potatoes, everyone is the same. Sure, some people don't have money, cars, or Swiss-bank accounts. But everyone has 5 fingers on each hand. Everyone has a heart and brain. And it's time we start using those two, stop complaining about the other side and embrace people for what they are. Other human beings.
