Hey now, girl on the curb

I told myself I would wait a little longer before writing another pinoesexual-related post, but you can only take so much of the American Republican presidential candidates before you start eating excess junk food you don't even like, weeping into your sofa cushions, and kicking all of your neighbour's garden gnomes, even the cute ones. 


For someone who doesn't even live in the States, I sure spend a lot of time worrying about the stupidity of their politicians.


On the other hand, it has been a good week for pinoesexuals everywhere because MARYLAND GOT MARRIAGE EQUALITY. You know what this means: Pinoesexuals can now look forward to one day legally marrying Megan Rapinoe in Maryland! *


*Please note: The legalization of same-sex marriage in Maryland does not guarantee a marriage to Megan Rapinoe. Unless your name is Sarah Walsh. Sorry for any disappointment the above statement may have caused.*


Anyway, congratulations, Maryland, you are becoming more like Canada. And that is something to be mighty proud of!!

However, the law doesn't go into effect until January 13th, giving opponents (mostly consisting of Maryland churches) a hell of a lot of time to organize a referendum to overturn this come November.


So Maryland, don't fail us. I know that a lot of religious groups will have the age-old excuse of their right to "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM" as a reason for why same-sex marriage shouldn't be legalized. Michele Bachmann likes to use this line in every interview and speech she gives, as if LOGICALLY, this issue is going to threaten anyone who identifies as Christian. Religious freedom has nothing to do with people wanting to get married though. Religious freedom is the liberty to go to church whenever you want, pray whenever you want, and practice your religion however way YOU WANT, something that many people in many countries still cannot do without being arrested or sentenced to death. I don't understand how somebody else's marriage is going to affect the way you go to church. 


But that's just me. I like girls and I like God. Why I can't have both is completely preposterous to me.


Kirk Cameron went on live television this week to call it unnatural, detrimental and destructive to civilization. Because yes, gay people will one day kill all the straight people with their unnaturalness. The straight person's religion is being threatened, and this is the reason we shouldn't have it. It will destroy the foundations that God has set down for us, foundations based on faith, love and respect. Foundations for us to be good and self-sacrificing individuals. Marriage equality will turn the church on its head and we will have spat on everything God meant for us to be. Religious freedom is at stake, people, we must exercise God's will by ostracizing others who just want to be loved and respected.


Irony never smelled so good.


But take heart, American pinoesexuals, one day your country will get equality across all 50 states and you will no longer have to come up to Canada to get married. Although, we would totally welcome and embrace you with beer and bits of Tim.

One day, all of us will realize that God loves everyone the same, and that it is actually what we're doing to his people that is unnatural, detrimental and ultimately destructive to them. 


In the meantime, best of luck, Maryland. Let's pray for freedom for everyone.


And for you pinoesexuals, here's a video of Megan Rapinoe playing guitar on a curb to inspire you and keep you optimistic.
