Short controversial tale

Norway, as the 6th country in the world, passed a law today that allows homosexual partners to marry.

I'm just waiting for those crazy Westboro Baptist Church people to scream bloody murder at us too, now.

On a personal note, I am happy for all the people who get to marry the ones they love. That's what it's about, in the end, no matter what your beliefs are.

And nobody gets to tell me that love is a bad thing.

It's right up there with the best things in life - like hope, friendship, laughter and ice cream.

-Fred

I hope it continues. And Don't Ask, Don't Tell, is repealed.

That's good news Fred... no we can be together forever!

But in all seriousness, I think that it is a good step forward and I hope the rest of the world follow (along with the many other countries already doing it). In my opinion, couple are couples... and marriage should be for everyone. Except if you want to marry an inanimate object... that's just strange... but whatever floats your boat really.

Hate groups? Bring it on. One guy has made the argument that the Phelps and Westboro have done a lot of good for LGBT causes by showing average people a mirror for the hidden hatred inside inside of themselves, allowing them to see how ugly it is and finally get rid of it.

We have a couple of states that allow it... California just passed law where Same Sex Marriage is allowed... Once California goes, it's only a matter of time...
