Here in Michigan, the gay marriage ban law that entered into
our state constitution a few years back has now been overturned or ruled
unconstitutional yesterday.
Many conservatives (who voted for the ban) are outraged that
a vote of the people has been overturned.
This is usually a valid concern but it has become very
obvious that a sea change has occurred in this country as to how the American
population views gay marriage and therefore many of the people that voted to
ban gay marriage in the state of Michigan no longer think that gay marriage
should be banned but should be made legal.
This is a huge change in opinion in a relatively short
period of time and scholars will be analyzing this remarkable shift for years
to come.
I feel that finally people started realizing that
homosexuality is not a choice but that people are actually born homosexual and
that led to the view that homosexuals are “real” people that belong to the
human race just like non homosexuals.
For this reason I feel that the ban on gay marriage in our
state can rightfully be overturned on Federal Constitutional grounds as
unconstitutional because the ban discriminates against a portion of the
American population.
It still amazes me to see all those protesters who carry
signs saying God does not approve of gay marriage; how in the hell do they know
what God approves of or not…and it is this ignorant arrogance that must be
challenged at every turn of our social progression towards enlightenment.
