Reading the “Queer Kids of Queer Parents against Gay Marriage” blog brought to light a whole new argument that I had never heard. I’ve heard of straight people supporting gay marriage, gay people supporting gay marriage, and other straight people against gay marriage. But I haven’t come across any gays fighting against gay marriage. It seems that the gay community, the ones who side with that particular blog entry, believe that the gay marriage movement is becoming more of a political thing, instead of something to actually help the gay community out. They also believe that gay marriage makes it so gay couples are almost “cookie-cut”, like there is a certain standard that you must be to have gay marriage. And the point they bring up about how there are many straight families that aren’t like the ‘Jones’ and that all families have their uniqueness, and that letting gay marriage be allowed would limit this freedom, and would limit a uniqueness to their families. It’s also interesting  because the title of ‘marriage’ has a lot of sentimental value to some folks, and for those that are gay and can’t have that official title, it might upset them. So, when people say if the label of marriage really maters, it might to some.

In the other article, I find it difficult to find justice in it. I guess the Misfit was thinking it was just for him to kill the family, and that he said he didnt do anything wrong. How was just involved in that story?
