On May 8, we’ll be voting on one very important piece of legislation called Amendment One. Amendment One is not to be confused with the First Amendment which gives people basic rights, whereas Amendment One is meant to take them away; and rightfully so, might I add.
I will make a series of arguments in favor of the anti-gay marriage legislation. If the arguments don’t make sense, it’s not because they’re poorly thought out, or because they’ve formed from a largely repressed sense of bigotry. If you find yourself disagreeing with me, then you might be showing symptoms of liberalism; put down the paper and head to the health center.
For a while now, gays have been trying to take over America one state at a time, and they’ve succeeded in eight. I, for one, think it’s time we stop bending over for the gay community. North Carolina is known as a “buckle” of the Bible Belt. And believe me when I say we want to keep that title.
The Bible Belt slogan is representative of everything this nation was founded on: a — hetero-marriage of church and state. The Bible says you shall not have sex with a man as one does with a woman. If you don’t believe me, then take a look for yourself; it’s right after not eating meat with blood in it and right before not wearing clothing woven from two different materials.
There are other reasons to support Amendment One. Paul Stam , representative of North Carolina’s 37th District, explains why North Carolina cannot allow gay marriage: “They’re going to bring with them their same-sex marriages. They’re going to want to get divorced, and have their custody issues decided. We’re just not equipped to handle that.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Say in some crazy universe we allow gays to get married. The next step after marriage is divorce, and the North Carolina courts are just not ready to deal with the concept of divorce.
Another representative, Mitch Gillespie, said he expects “a large bipartisan vote on it,” and placing the amendment on the ballot is “the right thing to do… it fulfills the democratic process by allowing everyone to vote.” All Gillespie wants is to do unify North Carolinians, sort of like a family reunion. In other words, it’s time we all come together as one big family and oppress our gay brothers and sisters.
In opposition of the bill is Chapel Hill’s town council. Not surprising, considering Chapel Hill is basically the San Francisco of North Carolina. Council member Penny Rich said, “We do not believe in discriminating against people, no matter who they are.” Typical Chapel Hill, too afraid to take stance on anything.
Not to distract from the issue, but let me point out what an oxymoron her name is. What’s up with that?
Still not convinced? What if I told you the GLBT community hates America? According to Business.com, “gays and lesbians spend more than $600 billion every year; they’re a business owner’s dream customers.” Ignore that last part and say to yourself, “$600 billion? Why not $600 trillion?” America has long prospered from the hard work of minority groups, and the gay community just isn’t pulling its weight. You can’t contribute only $600 billion to the economy and expect equal protection under the law.
Still want proof that gay North Carolinians hate America? Chris Hughes, a gay N.C. native and co-founder of Facebook, was the online coordinator for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. He was instrumental in getting Obama elected. Yes, the same Barack Obama who is overtly a secret Muslim and hates America. Thanks for nothing, Chris.
When you vote on May 8, be reminded of the chaos that will be created if gays are allowed to marry each other. Base your vote on fear, no matter what those a-holes, Logic and Reason, try to tell you.
