Brilliant., simply., brilliant
It just occurred to me that many of you may not know what my position is on gay marriage.
My position on gay marriage is that as long as the gay community continues the fight to modify the definition of the word "marriage," they are going to have an uphill battle because they are going to be fighting 2 groups, the religious right AND the government. That's 2 fronts people!!! The gay community would fare better if they only had one front to deal with. Hitler tried to fight multiple fronts and look where that got him ;)
Now..., the question is..., which front should the gay community [attack] / [focus on]? Which front is [weaker] / [more reasonable]? I'll give you a hint..., it's NOT the religious right ;)
Another good military strategy is to get one of your opponents to switch sides and join you in your fight against the other opponent. Now..., the question is..., which side is more likely to switch sides? I'll give you a hint..., it's not the government ;)
I know, I know..., it doesn't make sense..., but please hear me out.
The government maintains control by dividing the people against each other. They practice, "Divide and Conquer." Have you noticed how the government pays lip service to both sides and does nothing except watch the two groups go at each other's throat?
If the gay community were to petition the government to stop using the word, "marriage" [because of its religious connotations and separation of church and state] then the religious right might join in because they would love to own the word, "marriage" outright. Then..., once that's done..., you petition the government to use the term, "Civil Union" for every domestic partnership, gay or hetero.
I know, I know..., brilliant..., right? But that's what I do. Think outside the box ;)
When you think about it, my idea is just crazy enough that it might work ;)
Even if the gay community decides not to implement my idea, it is a hell of a lot more entertaining, and original, than anything else either side has to offer ;)
