Ditto.

Anyway, one of my English teachers recently asked us to write a journal response to a play we had recently read (Trifles) asking which groups of people in the 20th century are marginalized. I answered "gay couples who want the right to marry." I'd copy and paste the entire response here, but I don't think it's as well-written as it could have been (I kind of rushed through it).

But basically I said that I didn't see how two gay people getting married would undermine my parents' marriage, or my best friend's marriage, or the marriage that I'll have one day when I'm older. And that marriage is about love and spending the rest of your life with someone...I think that's what we need MORE of in the United States -- and less divorce.

I also put that I believe that gay marriage will be legalized by the end of the decade. (Maybe that's optimistic. But "by the end of two decades" sounded so extreme.)

And not only am I conservative, I'm also Christian (actually Roman Catholic). I just think that the "argument" against gays in the Bible isn't on the mark (like a lot of things in the Old Testament aren't on the mark -- the mixed fabric thing, the stoning thing, etc).
