Hello Cupcakes!
This is going to be a very serious (insert: personal) blog post that will probably lose me some followers as well as probably some customers... & you know what, I am okay with that. & here is why.
I am sure you all have seen it all over the news, Facebook, & other social media sites that SCOTUS has made same-sex marriage LEGAL! Yes! Lets all jump to the heavens, dance in the street, cry, hug our neighbors & realize that America has made the best decision since abolishing slavery. ♥ Depending on which side of the fence you are on, youre either jumping for joy & kissing your significant other to death or you are on the side of wanting to remove yourself from our great nation due to not agreeing with the men & women appointed over making these decisions.
Whichever side you are on, DONT BE AN ASS.
Even if you dont agree with same-sex marriage (or as I like to call it MARRIAGE!), please, for the love of all things holy, do not do the following things:
- Use your religion to bash people over the head with how you feel & tell everyone theyre going to hell for either being part of the movement or being supporters of the movement.
I am a Christian. I love Jesus. I am a believer. My kids are believers. We are a Christian household. However! I am part of the movement... I am a pansexual-polyamorous Christian*. I'm sick of people saying that gays/gay marriage is wrong & that God hates gays. FIRST OFF, nothing pisses me off more than that statement that "God hates gays". How the heck do you know?! Are you God?! NO! So stfu. Don't like Gays or gay marriages? Then don't associate with them or attend their weddings. Plan & simple people. Your right to be an ignorant asshole on a subject that has no bearing on your life what so ever should NOT control the life & happiness of another
*more on this later - Tell others theyre wrong for how they love.
I have seen so many posts on Instagram & even on Facebook of people saying that this country is going to hell; its going to shit; were all going to rot due to our misdeeds - etc. Who are you to tell people how & who they can & can not love?! How would you like it if heterosexual marriages were illegal &you had to fight for your God given rights (that were fought for by our brave men & women of the military - past, present, & future) to be with the person you loved with your heart & soul because someone else didnt agree?! Just dont do it. - Tell others that their civil rights impose on yours therefore marriage equality shouldnt exist.How the hell does that even work?! Telling someone they cant be married (a civil right) because your civil rights of not liking it are imposed upon? Does anyone else not see this logic?
Now for a little somethingsomething that is probably going to have me lose followers, customers, etc... Sighhhh. Here I go.
While I am excited & happy that we now have marriage equality, a part of me is still not legally accepted by societys standards (& federal law). I am a pansexual-polyamorous CHRISTIAN. At first, I am going to show you the definition of all the above.
Pansexual:1. Adjective: A group which is open to members of all sexual orientations or gender identities including straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual, or transvestite.
2. Noun: A person who is sexually interested in other people regardless of gender including males, females, transexuals, transvestites, gender benders, hermaphrodites, intersexuals, androgenous people, and those with sex-chromosome anomaly such as klinefelter syndrome or turner syndrome.*From UrbanDictionary.com
Polyamorous:The state of having multiple sexually or romantically committed relationships at the same time, with the consent of all partners involved.“Polyamorous communities emphasize love and honesty in their multi-partner relationships.”*From UrbanDictionary.com
Although I am currently only married to one man, that doesnt mean that I dont have my heart given to a few other people at this current moment. & by that, I dont mean ”ooooh ahahah I looooooove youuuuu” little middle/high school crap. No, I am emotionally invested. They brighten up my world the same way my husband does. I love (as a friend put it) like a kindergartener. I love without boundaries; I do not see color, religion, sex, gender, or anything else that would normally attract people to others to love. I see their souls & their hearts - not their parts.
I had commented on an Instagramers post (after she said that we are making God sad & he was going to smite all us sinners soon) with the following: Judge not lest thee be judged. #pansexualChristian #Goddidntsaydonotlovegays #lovewins Needless to say, she blocked my heathen self. Apparently you cant be a Christian & not straight. :|
&, before my Christian followers start brandishing their torches & throwing Leviticus 18:22 out there, be sure to make sure all your ducks are in a row first. & while youre at it: read the rest of Leviticus where it says that getting tattoos is a sin, wearing mixed fabrics is a sin (which, btw, is pretty much everything nowadays), playing with the skin of a pig (football!), marrying a woman who isnt a virgin, stoning to death any woman who isnt a virgin, etc.. Dont just pick & choose! I chose to love like Jesus - I love everyone. & that is enough.
& to all my LGBTQ friends out there! Congratulations! I can not wait to see pictures of your wonderful weddings. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
