200

Hi, it's my 200th post and in honor of that I want to do an opinion push.  I read an article today that made me happy.  I have talked about this subject before, gay marriage, and it is something that I have very strong feelings about.  So, without furthur ado.... Here is my 200th post:


NFL Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo has come out in support of same-sex marriage, providing some strong and powerful opinions on the topic:

He recently wrote an editorial stating:

“We will look back in 10, 20, 30 years and be amazed that gays and lesbians did not have the same rights as everyone else…If Britney Spears can party it up in Vegas with one of her boys and go get married on a whim and annul her marriage the next day, why can’t a loving same-sex couple tie the knot? How could our society grant more rights to a heterosexual one-night-stand wedding in Vegas than a gay couple that has been together for three, five, 10 years of true love? The divorce rate in America is currently 50 percent. I am willing to bet that same-sex marriages have a higher success rate than heterosexual marriages.”

That's all.  Happy 200 to me.

SOO with you on this one. Same-sex marriage may not be right for ME, or something I believe in personally, but who am I to say that my personal choice should be followed by everyone? AMEN to this! :)
