Ok so I admit to it and even find that some on here calling me the Gay Avenger is funny. I do support Gay civil unions. See I don't have to use the marriage word. In my opinion consenting adults who want to make a commitment to one another when both parties are human I'm all for. In fact I'd go as far as to say civil unions for everyone at the courthouse. Each couple that was of legal age and consentual age would go to the court house and have a civil union then those couples (even if you want to limit it to heterosexual couples) that desire God to be a part of their union go on for the white wedding and get married.
Ok, so everyone here knows this is my opinion. I share it openly with all of you on the forum and even know that other individuals on the world wide web occassionaly read what I type. However, they don't know who I am here in real life. Actually some here don't know me in real life and some do.
Now on to my point. Is it ok for posters that you have shared your identity with that you also know in real life to share what you say on the internet? This afternoon as I raked hay I continplated this very question back and forth trying to decide what is right and what is wrong. You wonder why I'm wondering this. Simply a new aquaintance of mine was able to share with with a member of my family how a poster on here that knows me in real life for some odd reason felt compeled to judge me and share why with this random person. I'm not sure what was to be gained by it and honestly I don't care. I just can't imagine being so disgusted and holy then thou that I'd just have to say to someone well I wouldn't get along with that person or like someone or whatever simply because they support gay marriage.
First of all very few people in real life know what i do and don't support such as issues as this because really how often do you sit in the gas station or the golf greens and say "What do you think about gay marriage?" Or how often do you at either of those places share really anything to much other then how's haying? how much rain did you get? did you make par? Are gas prices going to go higher? And other idel chat like that.
I'm not afraid or embarassed to support gay unions. As many of you know I have a very dear friend that I grew up with that is homosexual and I have stated I hope to some day be his best girl at his own union. People don't choose who they love or even the reasons they do. Love and the true feeling of it as most of us know is out of our control. I however, don't feel it's right or in good taste for these two items to occur:
1. Sharing a posters name and their id they use with people in real life. If I want someone to know who I am on here I will tell them. It's nobodies business to do it.
2. If I want random Joe Blow here in real life to know what I do and don't support it's up to me to tell it. Not busy bodies spreading gossip and their own agenda. Crap like this can take the fun and debate out of this forum.
Now everyone please have a fantastic day and let's all remember the fun of debate and the differences of opinions is what keeps this site interesting, informative, and even educational at times.
