You Want My Opinion?

This post isn't meant to start an argument but more to unload my brain. Again.

My Twitter feed has been blowing up about the North Carolina vote earlier this week, something I was a bit surprised at because no one in the news media really expected to pass. I honestly didn't know it was an issue considering the area I lived in. heh.

So here's the thing, no I do not support gay marriage. You already knew this because I've written about this before. To me its a moral issue, a sin issue, right and wrong, and I don't believe its right.

I believe sin is wrong. Whatever form it comes in, whether its lying, cheating, stealing, etc..etc..

Yeah, I'm one of "those" people.

However, this does not mean I will treat you as a sub-human simply because I don't agree with what you are doing.

I can't.

Because pride is also a sin, as is hatred.

Believe me, I am not the way I am simply because I am so good. Ohhh no no no no no no jean claude.

You didn't get the "Before God" me. I wasn't a nice person.

But I digress.

The purpose of this to say, that simply because I do not believe two women/two men should get married doesn't mean I hate them, or am ignorant etc..

It just means my opinion differs from yours. Theirs. Everyone's probably.

Here's the thing, what goes on behind closed doors is. None.of.my.business. And I like it stay that way. However, when you post videos, tweets, Facebook status, Google plus articles ...telling me I SHOULD agree with you or else be categorized as ignorant, hateful, close minded....

[and people say RELIGIOUS people are bad about forcing their religion. HA!]
{{and OH YEAH you can't BULLY someone into something}}

"He that is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still"

Then I have a right to express my opinion. And you have a right to respect it.

AND. If you ask me to vote on the issue, I also have a right to vote no.

Does that make me a bad horrible hateful person? No. It doesn't! :)

You know from a previous post, that I have had gay co-workers, gay clients, and *gasp* LIKED them. But that doesn't mean I HAVE to agree or support with what their doing. 

Now that I've lost friends and followers...

I'll bid you good day.

Diary Entry: August 5, 2010

Dear Diary,
Yesterday’s top news story: “Judge Rules Prop 8 unconstitutional”. I looked it up and soon found that this judge had decided that marriage does not mean a union between one man and one woman. I thought that was sort of funny because I don’t believe any MAN came up with that “idea” in the first place. But most of all I was just sad, I know people think this is what’s going to make them happy or life better for them but I don’t think it will.


Other people say love is love. So why isn’t it ok for sister and brothers…or sisters and sisters…or brothers and brothers? Or shall we even mention….animals? I mean if we’re going to go that route. I know people probably think I hate people who are living a GLBT lifestyle, but I don’t. 


I’ve worked with many gay people. I don’t have a problem with people at all. I DO NOT support people who are going to try to physically trying to harm people who don’t have the same opinions as they do. That’s just stupid and the consequences are so.not.worth it. But at the same time, I’m not going to pretend like I agree with something I don’t, as I would consider that a lie. And that’s another “no-No” in my book.


Ah well Diary, I will probably lose followers, but if I can’t express my opinion on my blog…where can I? I wish people would be open to the one thing that would make them happy. But. Ya know God gave us our own will for a reason.
