Where Am I going? To the chapel, that's where.

Well history is made again. Us gay people can get married and divorced just like those crazy heterosexual folk. Why would we want to do that? Well it is that whacky thing called equal protection under the law. It was not that long ago that one was forbidden to marry outside of ones race. It was not that long ago that blacks could not drink from whites only drinking fountains. It was not that long ago that two men were arrested in their own bedroom in Texas after police broke in. They were arrested for sodomy. Go figure. The Supreme Court of the United States struck down the archaic law. I guess the Supremes get it right every now and again. After all, I guess that so-called straights were not getting arrested for their back door activities. Only gay men were in peril. It was not very long ago that Matthew Shepard was nailed to that fence in Wyoming and beaten to death for being gay. He was a slight five foot tall and weight about a hundred pounds. So I guess it is time in California for gays to get married. We must remember however, that like everything else in this life, marriage is a two edged sword.
