The Bad Counter-acts the good.

I’m so excited with the outcome of this years Presidential Election. I’m pretty sure every one knows how big of an Obama supporter I was, and now to see him as our new President-Elect brings me much joy, and gives me a restored sense of hope for our country. However, the presidential election is not what I’m blogging about today. Today I want to talk about California’s decision on Proposition 8. I thought by electing an African-American President we were taking a huge step away from discrimination in our country, however California, Florida and a few other states have proven this to be untrue. Our founding Father’s made sure there was a separation of church and state, meaning that morals and beliefs stemming from Christian (or otherwise) morale should not be taken into consideration when writing laws that govern our nation. I have to believe that this way of thinking has completely been thrown out of peoples minds because views against homosexuality stem from a religious way of thinking. It is discrimination, there is really no other way to put it. What’s next? A ban on interracial marriages? No of course that would never happen but, the way I see it, it is just as discriminative to deny homosexuals the right to be legally married to the person they love. I think we forget in this country how precious true love really is. With the divorce rate in America, it is apparent that true love is hard to come across and even harder to keep. If two people of the same sex are in love they should have as much right to marry as two heterosexual people (who tend to be quite reckless when it comes to marriage). But anyways, I’m done. I just want everyone to know how deeply saddened and angry I am because of this law. Better luck next time I guess. This does not feel like America the Great, it feels like America full of hate.
