Psst...What do you say we get married...we'll make a fortune!!
You know, if you are a gay person in America right now, you’re angry. Why? Not because Kim Kardashian is making so much money, yet does nothing (something I have a personal pet peeve about), but because she made a spectacle of a wedding, seemingly for money, when gay people don’t have the right to marry at all. Not for money…but not for love or even commitment – you know, the real family values everyone is always preaching about.
What it shows is this. Britney Spears can be married for 24 hours, Kim Kardashian can be married for months and garner a huge payday, and still the ‘sanctity’ of marriage is so strong that gay couples who have spent their lives together – often for 20 years or more – don’t have the right to this ‘sacred ritual.’
How sacred is it? I could literally marry a complete stranger I pulled off the street, as long as he wasn’t related to me and male…and that is more valid in the eyes of the nation, than me marrying my girlfriend of years who cohabitates with me and shares my life.
Now, that’s something worth protecting.

She’s disgusting.
I think they sent our a casting call for a guy to date Kim and Kris went for it – even their dating was fake. sigh. Also, I believe she’s filing for divorce today. blech
Your article was well stated. How sad for this country that loving and committed couples are not recognized and in many cases are hated, but this garbage continues to be thrust in front of us and is the focus of Americans. If everyone took the time and money that is given to the Kardashian family and put it to the cause for equality, it would be done. I’m so angered and frustrated by this, and sad for all of us who only want to be equal.
