On August 19 2013 my little country of New Zealand became the 15th country to allow Marriage Equality. Today Ireland joined the exclusive club allowing same sex couples to marry. Mother nature celebrated this historical day by displaying a beautiful double rainbow across Dublin. If that doesnt say something I don't know what does.
What really makes this occassion special is the fact that this was voted in through a referendum by the the public, with a winning margain of 62%. It would seem the people's voice is screaming loudly that acceptance of sexuality is an important part of life these days.
Now I know there are plenty of people out there that don't support marriage equality with their narrowminded ignorance. One such person who has caught my attention in recent weeks is Michele Bachmann who is a Republican and former member of the US House of Representatives.
For those that are not up with the play on Michele Bachmann she has been a huge voice in the anti marriage equality campaign in America. When the first devastating earthquake in Nepal hit she was quoted as saying that there was a direct link between gay marriage in America and the earthquake in Nepal and that the rapture is coming. My one question I would love to pose to this women is how does this explain all the hundreds and thousands of earthquakes over the years that have happened long before marriage equality became the "in thing".
A few earthquakes and disasters happen across the world and suddenly the faithful droves of happy clappers worldwide start dancing with glee and proclaiming the end is 'nigh. If that's the case then the end has been on the cards almost since the beginning of times. Can someone give these morons a history lesson in natural disasters?
Then again this is the woman who in her expert knowledge exclaimed to the world that the HPV vaccine causes retardation. How did she know this to be steadfast and true? She apparently met one women after a debate that clarified this for her. Therefore it must be accurate! What is blindingly obvious is that Michele Bachmann must have had the HPV vaccine at some stage to account for her moronic and imbecilic rantings.
