Based on this week’s in class presentation on Love, I started to think about the three topics analyzed. The girls in class considered same sex relationships, polygamy, and interracial/cultural couples. I came across a webpage sharing the upset of gay couples in terms of Kim Kardashian’s 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries. I personally find Kim a poor role model to young girls and feel as though her marriage was a publicity stunt in order to gain more attention. Homosexuals are arguing that what is ruining the constitution of marriage are not same sex couples, it is, for lack of better term, idiots like Kim and Kris who are trivializing the sanctity the union of marriage represents for those who believe in it. I agree with this and feel that I would much prefer seeing an in love gay couple take a chance at marriage than a heterosexual couple engaged in a marriage for juvenile reasons. This article outlines the same sex argument, but responds by saying that those against gay marriage would feel that it is both same sex marriage and quick divorce cheapening the institution. They justify that a gay marriage could end just as quickly. I understand the articles perspective, but I feel that in this instance, same sex couples have a valid point. Although same sex marriage shares the same possibility of ending quickly – a public multi-million dollar reality television show wedding, only to end 72 days later is the problem with marriage, not an in love same sex couple trying to make it work.
What do you think?
