I live in North Carolina with my wife Kathy. We were legally married in Canada 4 years ago. Yet our legal marriage is not recognized here in my home state of North Carolina. This is a southern state and the majority of folks here are bible thumpers of the wrong kind.
I will never understand their logic about same gender marriage being wrong and a sin. If that's the case in their hearts and mind then why do they care? It's our "sin" and our "wrong" let us deal with it. There problem solved right?
Apparently not because they keep harping on it. How would they feel if the situation was reversed and we were fighting them on heterosexual marriage being wrong? What would give us that right?
If only these opponents would put themselves where we are. What if they couldn't marry the one person that they love simply because a majority of people said so. Where is the justice in that?!
This blog has come to life from a decision from the US Supreme Court to not rule on Same Gender marriage. With them doing this it kicked the issue back to the 4th circuit federal court and caused a stay because of a vote that put a discriminatory law in the NC constitution called Amendment One which bans same gender marriage in this state. Hopefully this ban will fall as others have in many states. We will find out soon enough.
Meanwhile my wife Kathy and I are living life as a married couple until we begin living our life together as a legally married couple here in North Carolina.
These are my thoughts and feelings from Jillsville.
