What Same-Sex Marriage Rights Mean To Me
1. It means the freedom to love who you want without fear
2. It means equality for all
3. It means homophobia is that much closer to dying
If you want help in supporting, I am always here. Laws, religion, or anything else should not cause people to judge others, just love them.
My brother is opnely gay and married to man. He is a good man. He deserves freedom and equality.
You would not want someone to say to you that the partner your with is wrong - why must he endure it?

Ashley, these are beautiful thoughts.
@AshleyTheHappyAthiest
That's a very important topic, thank you for talking about it, Ashley! You're brother is lucky to have you ⭐️

I understand what you mean! All the laws that are being passed and put into place about the lgbtq community isnt right, i am a trans demiboy, and im gay. Its kinda scary thinking about everything going on considering the community that i am fought for our rights, but its sad that we still have to fight for something that is rightfully ours.
Well from my personal experiences God is absolutely real. That’s a fact. Something created the Universe, we call it God.
How the laws are written in a democracy are based on the majority vote so it makes sense the laws are through the lens of the majority. Anything that deviates from the norm is going to have a tough time elbowing their way in and it might not even work.
Its one thing to find personal peace and love, that’s a path of self discovery but to think that the rest of society has an obligation to validate other people’s feelings and sexuality is a big ask.
I find life to be much less dramatic when I keep my personal life to myself. I don’t identify as anything except when I’m at home or job. If someone doesn’t agree with how I live I have no problem accepting their point of view and/or finding a new community. Peace of mind is priceless.

I agree, wholeheartedly.
In the area I live in, honestly, it's not the most supported topic but it could be a lot worse, since I live in America and we have the freedom to choose. I wish it was like that everywhere. It doesn't matter whether you identify as male, female, genderfluid, nonbinary, or as a stick, you are human and you are valid. It doesn't matter if you love people of the opposite sex, people of the same sex, all sexes, or you don't feel romantic attraction at all. It is all valid.
I know this is for same-sex couples but I feel it also often deals with general homophobia/transphobia and my beautiful glorious state I lived in tried to make "cross-dressing" illegal. I use quotes because I read the laws, girls wear skirts guys wear pants that's it. And it's frustrating because who is to say it's not valid.
I won't share any more personal details because I don't want this to spread to my real name but I'm hoping to use my power of being a girl scout to change some anti-gay laws my state has.
It could be alot worse, and your thoughts are so beautiful. Your brother is lucky to have you, we need more allies in this world 💕 and I will keep fighting to the day I leave this earth to make same sex marriage legal everywhere, make the world a place where people are loved and accepted.
As for the extinction, hetero relationship doesn't nessicarily mean sex, and there are ivfs and surrogates and stuff so we can keep producing. And hey maybe all these homo relationships can adopt kids and help with foster care too.
As for the God thing, you can love God and be homosexual, it's not a either or situation. I'm personally an atheist but I support religion and I have religious friends who love me, and you can be religious and gay, God will love you anyway
Sorry for the long post loves <3
@AshleyTheHappyAthiest Hi Ashley. I'm a nonbinary Christian. I believe being gay is not only a right, yet also very valid. No matter what we believe we should be respectful to others opinions and do our best to make society function for all. What happens after death in my opinion is between you and God. I follow Christ not political parties. Happy to meet you :)
@AshleyTheHappyAthiest Thank you for sharing. I care so much about increasing the rights of LGBTQ people across the Earth. But I often times worry that I'm not doing much to help LGBTQ people get more rights. Thank you so much for 1. standing up on behalf of fairness in a world there is lots of unfairness towards LGBTQ people and 2. Not being afraid to speak out about it.
@AshleyTheHappyAthiest
EXACTLY. I feel if the people who disagree felt trapped they would do the same. But if they were in our shoes they would want the exact same thing.
Thank you for spreading such amazing thoughts!
