Marry me Mary - NYC 2012?

Good Morning Peeps,
I am one happy girl this morning minus the raspy voice and still really sore throat and now, unfortunately, a tight feeling in my chest with a cough - this is definitely a viral issue.
But let us not dwell on the negative :)
As I went to sleep last night, I had a very wide smile planted on my pillow. Anderson Cooper had just reported on the State of New York legalizing same sex marriages....Visions of happy NYC drag queens danced in my head.
AMEN for New York - now to get the rest of the country on board for what is the only right thing to do.
I don't mean to be offensive here - I don't like offending anyone, I am far too 'you do what makes you comfortable and I do what makes me comfortable' to be into offending anyone's position - BUT - I just looked on Lady GAGA's website as she is my Momma Monster and I follow her mission regularly.
I don't get the biblical references, I don't get how anyone here (on EARTH I mean), thinks they have the corner on God's perspective?
I remember vividly a moment from my Ethics class back in my first semester - I believe we were reading ethical perspectives on abortion and a huge fissure broke the center of the classroom, dividing us into oppositional sides. Someone said something about the bible - and I cannot quote or even loosely paraphrase, but basically he insinuated that the bible was thrown down, all written and bound in leather from the heavens, constructed by Gods hand himself.
Um yeah, nope, not even close and I say, you really ought to know your facts before you take a side.
The Bible was not written by God - it was written by men. Men with a political mission above all, and trust me it was tweaked.
I am not debating that any one of the prophets who ever walked the earths surface may have 'received' messages from god himself - a burning bush seems plausible to me, I guess - but I am not banking anything on a burning bush or a man.
I am going with my own gut - and my own gut says that although the bible is a beautiful work of art, an epic collection of stories, I don't believe that the answer to sexuality, or proper judgment of love resides there and only there.
If it is, well than I disagree with the whole of my heart.
I personally have never understood the issue with homosexuality - I personally do not give a flying fuck who loves who, or who has sex with who.
Why is what anyone else does, any of my damn business?
Love is love. Period, and it is not selective nor should it be based on opposing sexual parts. I love plenty of people with vagina's and dare say, they would make better life partners for me than any man I have ever come across.
And yeah okay, I get that the penis fits like a puzzle piece with a vagina and that it seems that is the how it was intended as the meeting of those two make life.
Yeah men and women can pro-create, BUT, I dare say again, that just because we can, does not mean that we should, and more over, a penis and a vagina meeting up does not EQUAL love.
Sure it does sometimes, but not always. How many babies do you know that were mistakes born out of the puzzle pieces being jammed together when they should have been left apart? I know a lot and I am not even touching (in my mind) on the incest and rape issues we deal with every day world wide.
I say, we would be far better suited spending our time dealing with human trafficking, rape, incest etc. etc. and leave the gay people the fuck alone.
The truth is, homosexuality has been around since the beginning of man - anyone who doesn't believe that homosexuality is a valid sexuality is just plain crazy. Of course it is - the ability to make children is not the definition of love or sexual preference.
I don't know about all of you, but when I am making love, kids are the last thing on my mind.... Just sayin' and I have four who I adore and really wanted...
So I just don't get the bible thing - the bible is beautiful yes, but people use your hearts.
It is my opinion that if a woman and a woman want to commit themselves to a life long partnership, well than damn it, who is anyone in congress to say no to that?
Why should those two women not have the same rights as a man and a woman?
Maybe I am naive, maybe I am a sinner, but really - I just don't see the big deal.
I never have and I never will.
I will admit, the opposition to homosexuality makes me really really sad and perpetuates a cycle of hate in our country that makes me sick. It so daunting for young kids to come out of the closet with confidence.
Life is hard enough - we have closets for clothes and shoes and accessories, not a safe place to keep the gays.... that phrase annoys me.
So if you are 'straight' you do not have to announce it to the world, but if you are a homosexual, you have to come out of the closet?
So wrong. How about we just open our hearts and minds to a place where no one has to define themselves to anyone else BECAUSE whatever you are, who ever you love, what ever you choose is yours and OKAY.
I say the lessons from the bible we should be paying attention to are the ones about judgment and not passing it - because if God does hate the homosexuals, I'm leaving the casting to hell fire to him and then, I am definitely sneaking into that party for sure.
That's where the best dressed will be, the music will be off the hook and I know for sure, no one there will turn me away for being different....
I don't know about all of you, but when Kurt kissed his boyfriend on Glee for the first time last season, I cried my eyeballs out and called Mary and said, we have just witnessed something monumental - a teenage boy on boy kiss. Praise Jesus.
I was overjoyed for all the boys who love other boys who live in fear that they will be judged poorly when they lock lips for the first time in their high school hallway.
Boys love who you want. Girls you too.
I know my words are controversial - I just don't understand why? And if you read this and get angry with me, get a taste in your mouth you don't like - STOP - for a second, allow it to marinate and question yourself if you would. WHY?
If you come up with a good reason I would love to hear it, as long as it is respectful.
Although I have spent the longest part of my life involved with men, I do consider myself on the sexual fence. I could easily fall in love with a woman. What the hell is there not to love? Women are beautiful creatures, Goddesses - their bodies are perfection - what is not to love about peaks and valleys, soft and smooth?
Yeah I got no objections to the female.
I could easily go the other way, in fact I have been begging Mary to just consider the kind of wives we would really be for the better part of our seventeen year friendship...haha, but no really....
Am I bi-sexual? I mean, I don't know the answer to that, not sure it is a question that needs to be asked even - I will tell you that about ten years ago I was sitting on the down town mall and this woman walked by me and I was like "Oh Man Yowza, bring that on" - I would have followed her to the ends of the earth if she had given me the come hither finger.
I don't know why I felt that, I just did. And it was intriguing to say the least, but not ever, not even for a second ALARMING.
I am all about the love.
People were lamb basting the GA this morning, attacking her bi-sexuality as though that doesn't give her ENOUGH ammo to count herself in the fight for real.
WHAT???? WHATTTTTT???
Anyone who wears a meat dress to make the statement about equality being the prime rib of our constitution is in the fight for real.
Love her with all my heart - GO GAGA GO.
Straight- BI - Gay - LOVE is all that matters, all you need is love.
I loved NYC before, but I am lovin' it even more today -
