Attention Heteros: Your Marriage is Not Threatened

I’ve had just about enough of the doomsday declarations since Vermont passed legislation legalizing marriage between consenting homosexual couples.

Their argument: Homosexual marriage threatens the very institution.

For the life of me, I don’t understand that logic. If Jack and Jim — or Brenda and Betty — decide to get married, and the state gives its blessing, how is that damaging to my traditional marriage?

Hmm, let’s see. I’d still be married. Still have the same civil rights. Still get health insurance. Still drive my car. Still wear my wedding band. Still go to the church of my choice.

Why, my marriage hasn’t been affected at all!

Though the following needn’t be said, as obvious as it is, I’ll say it anyway: This is yet another example of fear-mongering by the extreme right wing of this country.

Do they ever get tired of living life scared shitless?
