(or Where Is The Infinite Tolerance?)
None of us have the answers. I say again, “None of us have the answers.” What answers, you may ask? Answers to the questions, that have recently, taken residency in our living rooms, at our dinner tables, during the uncomfortable carpools, after church/before church, while playing cards, and anyplace the topic dare rear it’s imposing head.
“Should homosexuals be given equal rights?”
“Who the hell do they think they are asking for ‘rights?’”
“They know they gone to hell, right?”
Tough questions; and there are people on both sides of this ridiculous and dangerously heated argument, who rush to debate, deeming themselves, “right.”
Notwithstanding, I have questions of my own to add to the pile…
Why, with all our other problems (war, violence that’s completely out of control, poverty, obesity, homelessness and a recession), do Americans continuously bicker about people’s sexual preference, especially when said bickering is literally ripping the country apart?
Is it better to be a heterosexual who is a serial fornicator, humping everything that moves, sleeping with partner after partner, than to be a person who has committed themselves to someone who happens to be the same sex?
Where were the good people of Chik-fil-A, “all-married-to-their-first-wives,” when Jerry Sandusky was having his way with little boys? Or when Eddie Long allegedly used his pulpit position to coerce teenage male congregants into having sex with him?
Would Chik-fil-A be so concerned with going public regarding, “their ‘stance,’” if President Barrack Obama, who is running for re-election, had not recently supported gay marriage?
Can the Boy Scouts guran-damn-tee that banning gay people from leadership positions will keep troop from harm at all times?
Doesn’t God say that we should all love one another as we love ourselves?
And, how can we claim to love, God, who we have never laid eyes on, but dog, diss, dismiss and talk shit about people we see every day…?
I’m just asking…
