So What!
There were two consecutive news items on the TV news crawler that caught my attention.
1) Elton John plans wedding with an artist David Furnish.
My reaction: So what?
2) PETA blasts Kellie Osborne for dying her dog pink.
My reaction: So what?
Both the right and the extreme left seek to regulate people's private behavior. As far as I know, a dog will not care if it has pink fur, so there is no harm done provided the coloring agent is not toxic and the dog's owner is not too embarrassed to take it for a walk in public. And as far as I know, no one has explained in a logical manner how same sex marriages would or could cause the dissolution any heterosexual marriage, or prevent heterosexuals who love each other and want to start a family from getting married.
PETA's discomfort with pets of unnatural fur color makes as much logical sense some people's discomfort with same-sex couples solidifying their relationship the same way heterosexuals do. If you don't care for unusually colored pets, don't color their fur. And if marrying someone of the same sex doesn't appeal to you, don't marry someone of the same sex. But unless you can show that these actions are somehow harmful, don't impose your preferences on others.
