Same Sex Marriage

Well, I am not for it and, Heloise, if you read this don't get the wrong idea again: I've never had one. When I grew up I never even heard the words homosexuals and gays. I think I learned more when I moved into this area and people made it into the papers because they had had been attacked in a bar or club downtown. By that time I was an adult. Then came the time when the military decided they would not automatically discharge you if you were gay but only if you did not tell anyone. Mother said at the time that there had been many gays in the military during WWII. Mother would have known. She served. Then we got all these obits in the papers that young males were dying from cancer. Initially, nobody wanted to use the word HIV and the implication. Now we are in the open, flaunt whatever sexual orientation we have and think that a state sponsored legalization is actually a marriage. Listen to me: a marriage is a sacred bond (covenant) between a male and a female, othwerwise known as man and woman. No shortcuts, no extensions.
