The Inevitable (homosexuals are human too)

PRESIDENT OBAMA comes out in favor of gay marriage, after years of thought and personal evolution. Fair enough, but the prez might have saved a lot of evolutionary energy had he simply accepted the inevitable right from the git go; that gay marriage is going to be legal and perfectly socially acceptable within a very short period of time, say, ten years. Then too, what does it really matter what obama thinks?

over the past ten years the percentage of americans in favor of gay marriage has been increasng by about one per cent per year, a substantial amount. this is because the older generation of which a large majority supported traditional values opposing gay marriage is dying off, and the new generation, those under 30 currently, support gay marriage by two to one.

within a decade all fifty states will probaby be ordaining gay marriages. now, of course 32 states have banned it, and of the fifteen or so which have legalized it, all have done so by legaslative action rather than popular vote.

this fact is used by some conservatives such as rush limbaugh to claim that the american people overall oppose gay mariage, when in fact quite the opposet is true. right now the country is divided about fifty fifty on the issue, but that will soon change to a clear majority taking the liberal view.

this is the way of history; liberal ideals always come to fruition, because change is inevitable, and liberalism is change. todays conservatism is yesterday's liberalism. why on earth would anybody hold out against gay marriage, against the inevitable?

the same reason conservatives held out against civil rights for blacks and women, perhaps. simple resistance to change. there'll come a time when marriage as we know it will be but one option of many marital choices, including gay marriage, three person marriage, multi person marriage, open marriage, and who knows what else.

the reason is that traditional marriage is obsolete because it does not provide the flexibility people want. traditional marriage is like christianity; fewer and fewer people, as time goes by, see the need to restrict poeple's options to only one.
