Same-sex marriages
Just take a look at the following graphic:
This is totally ridiculous. If there are two people who are consenting and want to get married, then what business is it of the government to call it illegal.
I looked up the Defense of Marriage act and according to section 7 of the act titled “Definition of ‘marriage’ and ’spouse’”,
“In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word ‘marriage’ means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word ’spouse’ refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.”
Now was the congress so bored that instead of focussing on unemployment and economic growth they pass a bill to define the words ‘marriage’ and ’spouse’? It’d be better if they left that to the Oxford dictionary for all practical purposes.
Anybody who voted for this act must’ve been a homophobic wierdo. I just don’t know what to say. Isn’t this discrimination? I was totally shocked that this act even existed!

My modest friend Pranav sent me a master poem. I believe, though, that everyone can benefit from its profound message:
“yeah right.
You snooze you loose
your shoes
and get no booz
so turn on the news
and drink some juice
cus you forgot your mousse.”

I agree that it is completely ridiculous of our govt. to even think of something like this, shows it is just a bunch of conservative/close minded ppl who like to supposedly help others by enforcing their opinion on others….
