Same-Sex Marriages

In the blog post Dear GOP windbags dog whistling on marriage equality written by Harold Cook, Cook has a very humorous way of expressing his opinion about the passing of Same-Sex Marriage back in June of this year. He supports same-sex marriage and is simultaneously putting down Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz who claim that same-sex marriage affects their religious practices. He calls it "un-American". Cook is raining on their parade and making an extremely valid point against those who appose same-sex marriages because it interferes with their beliefs. It is just like saying you're mad at someone for eating a cupcake in front of you because you are on a diet, it just doesn't make sense. He makes a joke of it at the end telling Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz to not go "marry any dudes" and that that is all the religious freedom they have. Cook seems to be addressing this to, obviously Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz, but also to those who are offended by same-sex marriages because it is against their religion. Cook puts in a very straight forward manner and to the point of where people are going wrong with what they say like everyone else cares to hear it.

The argument being made by Cook sure convinced me, mostly because I think that anyone and everyone is aloud to be stuck with one person for the rest of their life if they chose to do so, it does not matter about the sex of the partners. The comments that people left also shows that others agree and think the same way about the subject that he does. It is hard to change someones mind about their religious beliefs and preferences but telling someone to stay out of business that does not concern them is even harder to do. Which I'm sure everyone had seen back in June when the law passed. When it comes to changing someones religious views that they have known their whole life and stand by through thick and thin, good luck changing that. I know that Cook may not have done well at changing peoples minds about the same-sex marriage but he makes a point to stand up to them to tell them what they are doing is wrong, or "un-American".
