As January winds to an end, I want to remind readers that I will be hosting a “Freedom to Marry Blog Carnival” on February 14, in conjunction with Freedom to Marry Week. Any blogger who writes in support of marriage equality between now and then is invited to submit a post by leaving a comment here or at my original post, or by sending e-mail to freedomtomarry@mombian.com. I’m particularly interested in posts with original arguments or perspectives, though it’s fine, too, if you simply want to give vent to all the old reasons. Entries will be compiled and showcased at Mombian on February 14.

I have finally found the love of my life after 21 years of searching.Even my kids agree we are perfect together.Yet,for all the things we have going FOR us,we have only ONE thing that is against us.We don’t have the right to marry.Why do politicians and so-called Christians have the right to decide OUR lives and OUR futures with no better argument than”I don’t want to”?The first group is against us for absolutely no legal reasons.How did the constitution get so twisted over the years? The second group is against us for no real religious reasons.Did the Bible not say to love one another and not judge? Of course homosexuality was an abomination! The Bible was translated during a time of great bigotry,racism and sexism! If the works were done in today’s time using today’s scholars,do YOU think that MAYBE we would find the words had entirely DIFFERENT meanings?If only we could turn back the clock and see and fully understand the original text.We might finally know what peace on earth and unconditional love truly mean.

[...] There are many reasons for supporting same-sex marriage, but to my mind, they all boil down to three basic arguments. I’ll be highlighting one each day this week (with a break on Wednesday for my Freedom to Marry Blog Carnival.
