beware, this is a rant!

there are certain social issues in the US that make me want to pull my hair out. there are people who are literally freaking out that the government is "trying to take our guns" (in case you were worried, they aren't). these people scream that any laws relating to gun control/safety is unconstitutional and they will not stand for it. fine, that is an absolutely valid point. people can be dangerous and kill people, and guns are sometimes their weapon of choice, but that doesn't mean normal law-abiding citizens shouldn't have guns, right? but these same exact people who are screaming about gun control being unconstitutional attempt to use the bible to support their claims that homosexuals should not be allowed to get married. the constitution says that we are not founded under ANY religion, and that congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion. basically, your religious beliefs are your beliefs, but they are not to be used to make laws or discriminate. ever thought of how jewish, athiests, agnostics, muslims, etc feel about people using the christian bible to argue laws of the US? or how everything says "under god" or "in god we trust" ? how would you feel if they used their religion to stop you from getting a blood transfusion because it is "against their religion". not valid, right? you'd be furious, right? that's unconstitutional, right? so is discriminating homosexuals because your bible told you so. in light of the acts going in front of the supreme court, this has been all over and i am happy to see how many people are taking a stand to defend marriage equality. it still makes me furious that people act like they are not being discriminatory by saying they "don't hate the gays", i just don't "believe in gay marriage". you are being discriminatory in denying rights to a group of people. you cannot deny that..

my rant for the day. sorry if i "offended" you by supporting basic human rights. not really though.
