Equality for the gays

This pic took over facebook today.  While I wholeheartedly support  gay marriage I couldn't change my picture. 

I have this weird thing about me that while I completely support this cause I haven't really done much in any other way to support gay marriage other than boycott certain businesses like Chick Fila. Even though it's just a picture I just would feel like I'm joining the bandwagon without having anything to really back it up.

All I know is that homosexuals and heterosexuals should marry as they please.  I don't know how people can base this solely on religion and be ok with that decision.  I don't know how people can say "because it says so in the bible"....well there's a lot of stuff in that bible...and people seem ok with themselves to pick and choose what they want to follow. The Catholic Church is against gay marriage while priests are taking advantage of little boys or have gay lovers on the side.  How is this just?  How is it just to say that marriage is for procreation when gay couples are more than willing to raise the children straight people put up for adoption?  How is it just to say we don't know the outcome of gay couples on children because we only have 5 or so years of data when straight couples have been fucking up children for centuries (and I'm pretty sure there is a ton of data to support that)?

And for the religious that feel that they are being pressured to change their beliefs, guess what...shit changes...you don't follow everything in the bible word for word, each church and person decides what they should follow and as time goes by beliefs change because it just isn't feasible anymore. But yet religious scholars say that interpretations have changed instead of saying they changed their mind and decided something was ok.

All I know is that if I were gay and in a committed relationship I would want to get married to my partner not only because I feel marriage is a special bond between people but also so that I can receive the rights that go along with it.  Face it....insurance benefits and taxes...are all perks (or downfalls) of being married and it's not fair to deny gay couples from these right either.
