Why are people such dicks about marriage?
Posted by: Lark in Politics, tags: bigotry, civil unions, equality, gay marriage, homosexual, marriage, religion, segregation“Marriage,” is a term that historically has belonged in the social and legal realms. Now many people are pretending like it’s a religious term. Hey, marriage ceremonies happen in churches, administered by religious leaders, right?
Is one required to get married in a church? No, you don’t need a church or a religious leader to get married, you just need a license from city hall. Do you have to be a member of a certain religion to get a marriage license? Of course not. Some people are all of the sudden pretending that marriage is a religious term, probably because homosexuality gives them unease and they’re not yet ready to accept it as legitimate. Don’t be fooled though, people know that you get a marriage license at a city building, not a church.
