If I could find my dagger, I might plunge it into somebody’s skull. I was reading my feed and it says, “Update: 11 of your friends joined the group They Can Keep the word “marriage”!” First of all, ohmigod, learn to use proper grammar, bitches. If you’re titling something you capitalize the important words and don’t capitalize the unimportant words. So, it should read, “They Can Keep the Word “Marriage”!”
Much better, but that’s not the important part. I decided to check it out, because I assumed it was some gay activist group trying to get better rights for gays. Those would be my friends, and I’m okay with that. Hell, I want rights too. Sure enough, this group was all about getting their rights, and I’m down with it. HOWEVER! The group was all about “anyone that agrees that heterosexual couples and the conservatives of our society can keep the term "marriage", just as long as they grant same sex civil unions the same rights as marriages.” WHAT. THE. HELL?!
I want it to be fucking called ‘marriage’ because that’s what it fucking is! This whole argument is about equality. We want equality with rights, so why would we make it separate. I’m not going be apart of a “civil union” even if we are given the same rights, because it’s just insulting. Yeah, we can all have the same rights, but we’re not good enough to be in a ‘marriage’. SAY WHAT?!
I don’t even understand why someone would make this group? Don’t get me wrong, this note isn’t about not wanting equal rights, but instead it’s about wanting equal status. I’m not going to settle for second place, when the love is the same as the “first place” love.
I say we give it the same name whether it’s “marriage” or “civil union”… I don’t even care which as long as it’s fucking equal like it should!
/end rant.
