Being on blogs and social networking websites I always come
across great videos that always deal with subjects in our class. I recently
came across this video called, College Humor: Gay Men Will Marry Your
Girlfriends, which played
around with the idea of gay marriage and if it was not legalized there would be
consequences. These consequences include marrying every straight male’s
girlfriend because they will enjoy doing the same things together and she is
able to talk about situations where they can relate.
Although I find
this video playfully funny, I believe there is still a real issue here with gay
rights. Without legalizing it we are forcing people in gay relationships to
either stay unmarried or to relocate to another state. In my personal opinion I
believe that whether this law would benefit you or not, we should legalize it
so everyone has the option. It’s not about what you agree or disagree with, it’s
about equality and opening up opportunities to everyone that are affected by
this regulations.
Remembering back to
our conversation with the Pride Alliance club on campus I cannot help but to
think about the exposure their gay community is getting from the gay
stereotypes portrayed in this video. It is important to see the wrong in
stereotypes but I do believe it was necessary to get the point across for a
subject like this.
