My Fourth Confessional

Today my confessional is going to be very short, but there is one pressing matter that I feel I need to address.

I moved away from Kansas to a worldly view of life. I was so excited to move close to D.C. My thinking was that it would not be full of narrow-minded jackasses; I could not have been more wrong.

Just for the record I am not a homosexual but I have ZERO tolerance for homophobia of any kind. And it pisses me off when people say that gay marriage should be illegal. I don’t care what your reason is for thinking this way-it is absolutely ridiculous!

Now to be fair, I am a Catholic and I was raised that homosexuality is wrong. And I still believe that it may be wrong. I don’t think that you can be gay one week and straight the next-you’re either gay or you’re not. But your sexual orientation is not to be judged by your peers, but by God and God alone.

With that said, I still am hearing the same arguments about the sanctity of marriage being corroded by homosexual unions. And my thought is this-as long as divorce is accepted, homosexual unions should be accepted as well, because divorce is just as corrosive, if not more, than homosexual unions.

If I wanted to be with a bunch of Bible-beating Republicans, I would have kept my ass in Kansas. Now shape up, America.
