Same Love



I can't figure out why every little thing catches fire on social media. Anything from that damn dress (which btw is totally blue and black) to the ALS ice bucket challenge to anger about political and or social issues.

Recently, the hottest debates are about the confederate flag and gay marriage. I'm not going to tackle the confederate flag mostly due to the fact that well, I don't have the facts. I have an obvious opinion in my head but before I go to battle about something, I like to be informed and well versed.

Ok so maybe I'm not well versed about being gay because I'm straight, but I do know what basic human rights are and I am love's number one warrior. I LOVE love and I can't help it. The picture above is my old cub and I stuck hearts all over it because I love love and was hoping to attract some to me... Didn't quite work hahah but that's not the point!! 

I'm sure there are various reasons why people are against it but for some reason, I just can't play devils advocate and totally understand where the other side is coming from. In my opinion, being anti-gay is the same thing as being a racist. It's judging someone based on something that is not a choice and they cannot change (and frankly why should anyone?) 

You don't have to agree with anyone's lifestyle but to put a law against it or throw a damn tantrum because a victory was won, is absurd. If it's not hurting anyone and not taking anything away from you, what the fuck balls do you care what anyone does or who they fall in love with? 

Love is love. Period. 

I stay quite on social media for a multitude of reasons (mostly I will likely tear someone up if they say something stupid and acting like a monster won't help me win my case) and this is my forum to say what I want and this is what I want to say:

I could not be happier that gay marriage is now recognized in all 50 states. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have their love acknowledged, legalized, whatever the correct word is.

All I know is, love is loves and another win for love is always alright in my book.
