Gay Marriage is NOT About the Majority

Since the past election, I have read thousands of post. Those for gay marriage, and those who oppose it. One argument of those who oppose gay marriage consistently offered as justification is: “But the majority of the country voted against it, so we shouldn’t have it (gay marriage) forced on us.”

First of all, no one is forcing gay marriage on anyone. If you are straight, and you are married, or not, how does that affect me? It doesn’t. I’m not involved in your marital matters. I’m not involved in your life whatsoever. So, why do you want to be involved in my life to the point where my marriage affects your life? Let’s face it, I better never catch you in bed with my man.

Secondly, and very seriously, the majority of this country once believed in segregation. Did that make it right? Once a majority of this country didn’t believe women should have the right to vote. Did that make it right? The majority of this country once opposed interracial marriage. Did that make it right?

Now, if you think on a global scale, at one time, a majority of Germans thought Jews should be killed. Did that make it right? Or going back even further, at one time, a majority of the world’s population though the world was flat. So, was the world flat?

And lastly, before I step down off my soap box, Christians are by no means the majority in the world. So, should the majority religions be able to tell Christians how or who to worship?
