Edmund and I watch the local news channel here everyday. He saw on tv that the US Supreme Court was about to pen its decision on same sex marriage. Apparently, there are still about 13 states that do not allow this. Edmund was hoping that the Supreme Court would vote NO. I told him that they would vote YES. America is the land of freedom and human rights. They always rule to protect a person’s freedom to choose. I told him the SC would most likely vote in favor of same sex marriage. And they did.
This morning, just like every morning, my husband woke up ahead of me. He watched the morning news first. Today, he told me that the US Supreme Court voted in favor of same sex marriage. See, kasi nga Americans are like that, “freedom to choose” who to marry.
This is a sensitive topic. While we respect what others believe in, Edmund and I are against same sex marriage. Medyo worried lang ako, there wouldn’t be any more boundaries in my personal opinion. Ano na kaya yung future generations? Hindi na malinaw kung sino at ano sila. At sino, ano ang gusto nilang mapangasawa.
I was watching the news the other night, they showed two young boys, aged 14 and 15, nagli-lips to lips. They also showed a wedding between a 50 year old man and a young boy, tila mukhang 20 lang.
They also interviewed a middle-aged mother about her bi-sexuality. Her 8 year old daughter saw her necking with her female best friend.
8 year old daughter——“Mom, why are you kissing your friend? You cannot kiss her”
Mother——————“Why not? I can. I love her”.
8 year old daughter—–“You can’t. She’s a girl. You cannot kiss another girl. You can only kiss my dad”.
Mother——————-“Sure I can, I can kiss whoever I want and love”.
The mother’s answers to her daughter bothered me a lot. I just didn’t feel good about it. One, she told her she can kiss whoever she wants, whether same sex, or whoever”. What would that 8 year old girl think? We are our children’s number one role models. Whether we are aware or not, they emulate us.
A——–“Tart, ang sabi nila, it’s their body, they can do whatever they want to do with their body. If they want to remove their birdie, bird nila yun”.
E——–“That’s wrong, they don’t own their bodies. That was given to them”.
(I believe my husband was referring to God).
Last week, I saw on the local news channel:
1. Their son’s fiancee is a transgender. He is determined to marry her. His family is against it but nothing in this world could sway him away from him/her. He said he is in love with her, from the moment he laid his eyes on her. She was gorgeous, ang umbok ng tumbong. He didn’t know at first that she was a transgender. Only after their third date that he found out but he was already hooked beyond rebellion.
2. A woman cried foul when she was asked to leave a female toilet because she was mistaken as a male. She was asked to go to the men’s toilet. She filed a complaint. She said not because her hair is short, she’s already a man. Seeing her on tv, it’s not just about having a gupit lalaki. She has several tattoos, nose rings, she was wearing men’s clothes. It would be hard to tell her gender based on her fashion style. People would think she’s either a man or a lesbian.
3. A transgender was asked to leave a female toilet and to use the men’s toilet instead. She insisted that she’s not male, she’s NOW female. How do we reconcile that? Oo nga naman, she used to be a man, but now she’s a woman. So she must go to female toilet. She looked tall and sexy, and to borrow an American writer’s description, her surgerized face looked like a female supermodel. Her very long hair was not successful in hiding her gender at birth—–male. So the female customers, who were not as accepting yet, resented her presence in the female toilet and asked her to get out.
More situations like these are happening now. More and more male are abandoning their bird kingdom and crossing the prekprek queendom. This we have to accept and integrate in our lifestyles. There must be four kinds of toilets in public places. One for male, female, lesbians, and transgenders, so we don’t offend each other’s sensitivities. Fitting or dressing rooms must follow suit. Have four separate areas para walang samaan ng loob.
Edmund said the real and true men would be so in demand. Kukulangin na daw ang supply ng mga tutoong lalaki. Sayang daw lipas na sya (hehehe). Kasi nga naman, 1. sa mga babae pa lang eh nagkaka-kulangan na ang matinong lalaki,
2. dagdag pa ang demand from the transgenders
3. Nababawasan rin yung mga men kasi nag co-cross border.
This also apply to women.
A——–“Ang nakakatakot tart, yung asawa mo na tapos yun pala babaligtad”.
E——–“Naku, malabo yun”.
A——–“Tart, kung may itinatago kang tendency, ilabas mo na para magka-alaman na tayo”.
Boss, your so funny po talaga…:)) lol
Hihihihi OMB ikaw na!!!!
U.S. Supreme court voted 5-4 in favor of same sex marriage. Basically, the decision says – there was no prohibition in the US constitution that prohibits same sex marriage in fact there is no word on marriage at all. Obviously Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin et al. did not foresee this as a Socio-political issue. But Constitution is a living document. That is why the decision is to leave it to the State Legislature to legislate.
In the Philippines, same sex marriage is prohibited by the Family Code. That is why same sex Marriage License applicant will not be granted one. For a test case, I would advise them to go to the Supreme Court and have this heard.
More Power mam Annie. It has been a while…
