I just couldn't help myself
Ok the gay marriage ban debate is up for a vote again today in the Senate. I know it won't pass and I know it is just a ploy for the right wing to use the opposing votes as an election tool in the fall, BUT the idea of banning it to save marriage makes me sooo mad. I would rather then say they disagree with the lifestyle or something along those lines, but the sanctity of marriage is a myth. If they wanted to save marriage they would put an end to uncontested divorces. So playing my favorite role as instigator I wrote my senators an email and decided I would publish it here. I think divorce is fine but I think gay marriage is too but I wanted to make a point and hope that maybe they might see how crazy this all is so......
Dear Senator,
I understand that you are voting to ban same sex marriages in order to protect marriage. Well as a child of divorce I think banning uncontested divorces is a larger threat to the sanctity of marriage. Right now people can marry and divorce at will with no consequences. Please tell me how that is healthy for children and the institution of marriage? I beg of you as my representative to do something about this growing issue in America. Did you know that less than half of all marriages end in divorce? Marriage is under attack alright, by people who don't take it seriously. If you truly believe in saving marriage then I expect action on this soon.
Thanks you.
Sincerely,

there should also be a one-year waiting period for all marriage licenses, too.
of course that would put the kaibosh on the whole elvis-wedding-chapel-vegas-industry.
