Now, before you get all mad at Arnold, remember that this is what the voters wanted. His job is to enact what the voters want, and he can’t just do whatever her wants without the voters approval. Most people seem to think of California as being this wildly liberal state, but that’s not true. In fact, geographically, California is mostly Republican. Along the beach life is good, people love each other. When people get too far away from the water they dry out, start hating everything, and become Republicans. Sad but true.

Do I, as a bible-reading, Jesus-loving Christian think that gay marriage should be legal? Nope. I don’t think gay marriage, or any other kind of marriage should be legal. Marriage is between two people who love each other and God Almighty. In many ways I feel the government over steps its bounds when it begins to interfere with the ways in which people love each other. Love is God’s domain, end of story.

Since getting rid of the government’s tainted influence on the sanctity of marriage doesn’t seem to be a very popular idea, I am in favor of legalizing gay marriage. There’s a raging debate amongst biblical scholars on this issue, but those who read the bible carefully will note that Jesus himself never condemned homosexuality. Therefore, it’s not in conflict with my religion to be in support of gay marriage.

I’ve followed the dabate closely and it all boils down to fear vs. love. Someday I hold out hope that we’ll look back on this time in American history as the beginning of a breakthrough for human rights. Right now, however, there’s still a lot of work to be done.
