Rantin' And Ravin'

So as I am walking out of my building the other day, my eyes are greeted by a new car parked in front of it.  No big deal, living in a condo you have new neighbors all of the time, or your old neighbors have new friends. As I am walking by I spot a bumper sticker that has been neatly placed onto the bumper. As my eyes adjust I can make out that the sticker has the image of a man, a plus sign, the image of a women and that it all equals marriage. Excuse me? Did I just see correctly that someone is driving around with a bumper sticker on their car that says that marriage should be between a man and a woman? In this day in age? As my brain tries to adjust to the beating it has just taken, I notice that their license plate is a vanity plate proclaiming....wait for it...go vegan. GO VEGAN! Now my brain is going through a complete meltdown. So you mean to tell me that you are homophobic AND a vegan? Maybe I too am narrow minded, because I never expected to see those two things together. This is a combination of the ultra right wing Christian fundamentalist nut.... combined with the peace loving, free thinking, ultra left wing hippy. Is there a term for this? Well, one besides crazy.

In the year 2011 I expect a little more tolerance, especially living outside of Chicago. I am still confused as to why gay marriage is not legal? Why does the government feel the need to get involved? I thought we had a separation of church and state in this country, yet this is obviously a religious crusade. The excuse that it gives marriage a bad name is so played out, straight people ruined that shit a long time ago.  There are so many things to post on this subject, and everyone has a differing opinion. All I know is that if it were up to me, I would let them get married. Love is love. It does not matter if it is between a man and a woman, or a man and a man, a woman and a woman or even a man and his goat. Okay, that last one was a joke, just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
