God is Crying today...

So I am watching The View this morning. A section of Hot Topics comes on and Barbara Walters reveals that yesterday her hairstylist was married to his longtime partner in a small ceremony at the Justice of the Peace. With the recent passage of same-sex marriage in New York State, it is now legal to be able to marry your partner, unlike a majority of the rest of the states in this country of ours, where all men are created equal. (insert sarcasm, if you would like)

One of the things the man then said was that Barbara's driver made a few comments while driving them to the courthouse, including the comment, " God is crying today," as the groom got out of the car. SERIOUSLY??? The discussion then turned to the fact that if the driver was being paid for performing his job, he needed to keep his opinions to himself.

What I find repulsive about that comment is that in thinking about the recent fiasco involving the Kardashian clan pulling the publicity stunt they pulled, spending frivolous amounts of disgusting money on a wedding that was so opulent and over the top, it was an absolute circus only to end in divorce. I weep.

And in the state of Minnesota, the land where gay people continue their struggle for equality and marriage rights, the gay community issued an apology for helping to ruin a marriage of a Senate leader, who was opposed to gay rights to marriage and commitment. It stated, "The gay and lesbian community of Minnesota has issued a letter of apology to recently resigned Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch for ruining the institution of marriage and causing her to stray from her husband and engage in an 'inappropriate relationship.'"

"On behalf of all gays and lesbians living in Minnesota, I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for our community's successful efforts to threaten your traditional marriage," reads the letter from John Medeiros. "We apologize that our selfish requests to marry those we love has cheapened and degraded traditional marriage so much that we caused you to stray from your own holy union for something more cheap and tawdry."

"The letter comes on the heels of Koch's own apology, released yesterday, in which she expressed her deep regret for "engaging in a relationship with a Senate staffer." Although the letter did not specify the identity of the other participant in the "inappropriate relationship," it is widely rumored to be former communications chief Michael Brodkorb, who lost several positions with the GOP in the wake of the scandal. Koch, Brodkorb, and their fellow Republicans campaigned this year to put a constitutional amendment on next year's ballot to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman, thus forbidding gay marriage. Sadly, the amendment comes too late to prevent Koch from straying from her own marriage." (blogs.citypages.com)

THANK YOU Blogs.citypages.com for the irony and for helping to open people's eye to just exactly why God should be crying. All eyes should be focused on the hypocrisy of people for ruining the sanctity of marriage on their very own without any help from others.

The struggle continues...
