Marriages
Many marriages are frowned upon in these years. Not only gay marriages, but a black person marrying a white person (although that lightened up a great amount), a Jewish person marrying a Christian, the list goes on and on.
Not many people realize that love is love. People who love each other, don't judge each other by how they act, or look.
They love each other, and that should be all that matters.
This blog came to my mind, when I overheard my aunt and mom talking about someone my mom knows that her son, is marrying a Jewish woman.
Mom explained to my aunt that her friend was very shocked, and worried about many things. She also said that she would of acted the same way about my older brother, or myself.
I did not understand why they were worried.
The only thing that came to my mind, was that the two people loved each other. Not that they were different in religion, or in beliefs.
Soon I walked into the room and asked why they felt that way. They said that it was weird, and that they didn't believe in the Virgin Mary, or Jesus. I knew that, but what about that the couple loved each other.
Also many people have a problem with gay marriages. They are people. Yes, they have different beliefs. So what?
It is unusual that people criticize a "regular" marriage.
Yet to a lot of people it is a 'must do' to criticize a gay marriage.
Many may not know that Dick Cheney, Vice President of the US, his daughter is a lesbian. Yet, Cheney is against gay marriages.
Gay people, are human. Who they love is their choice.
That goes with anyone.
I leave you with this, why does it matter, to some people, what type of person another person marries.
Does love not matter in marriage anymore?

I'm Jewish. And personally, both my parents always encourage me to date Jewish guys. It's not that they believe it's wrong any other way, although they've said they'd be disappointed if I married a non-Jew, it's mostly cause they want me to raise a Jewish family to continue practicing. Or something like that.

I agree. I don't understand you know. Love is love and I think that's the first thing that should matter in a marriage. Even if they are not brought together by their beliefs or background or something they are brought together by love. However, now a days it doesn't seem like it's enough and it's sad to see that happen.

We seem to be living in the "politically correct era". Which is a working dad with a soccer mom and having 2 well behaved children. Or at least that's what you see when you turn the television on. Watch any commercial whether for a car or KFC and you will see the "politically correct lifestyle". it is desigined so people do not have to think or question what is going on. When something out of the ordinary happens (like inter-racial marraige for example) then it gets talked about.
