Gay Rights

I'm not gay, and I'm not British.

It's an inspiring age to live in, with gay marriage legalized, and gay pride parades blossoming everywhere. It shouldn't be a big fuzz; the fact that people are cheering or denouncing is more disturbing to me.

Seriously, what's the problem of being gay? People love each other and choose to live with a same sex, why does it make some one angry and pretend to "save them from satan"? It's just like food, I like Chinese food, you might like Mexican. Most sane people will just be cool with that. And even for the sex life part, how different is it from nose-picking? None of these seem relevant to others. The only down side of gay marriage might be the inability to give birth to child, which is not completely true, and not completely false in straight marriages.

Up to now, I've yet to hear a plausible argument against gay marriage. Most people support equal rights for gay couples, but stop short of supporting marriage, arguing with one reason or another. I'd say, a lot of arguments could both be "reason" as well as "consequence", resulted from the inequality of rights. Assume everything is equal, term gay-marriage will be mostly interchangeable in those arguments with straight-marriage, except for some physical constraints. If gay couples cannot bear their own child, they could simply adopt, and that's as contributive towards the continuation of the species as raising our own child. Besides, lesbian couples can bear their own child with no more effort than infertile straight couples. Everything being equal, gay family would not be more of an adverse environment for kid's upbringing; just think about the hardship gay kids usually encounters in straight families.

Anyway, I'm not in the mood of writing long arguments as there're already plenty of them online; random ranting will not help either party, just serves as a time-killer for a VPN-less Friday night.
