Boys will be Boys, and Girls are with Girls....



I guess you can say that I can be very liberal when it comes to issues like these but this is not about being liberal. This is about love, commitment, and the general desire to be happy and fulfill your life along with the person that you love and support. Shouldn't people be happy that even though others choose to be attracted to and love a person of the same sex, they are willing to commit themselves to one partner? Shouldn't they be happy that some are not so liberal when it comes to their sex partners and they are conscious of disease control? Shouldn't they be happy for others when they are in love and decide to choose to want to spend their lives with one person and one person only?I guess love is not celebrated the way it used to. 50% of all marriages end up in divorce now days. 50%. Maybe same sex marriages don't, because they understand one another better.If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, would same sex unions really throw off the Cosmos?
