The Gay and Lesbian Community is moving their agenda too fast for the good of the whole. It should be apparent that the fight for Gay Marriage is a little more than the civilization is ready for right now. It is predictable that in 50 years folks will look back on the disallowing of gay marriage as ridiculous quirk of the time and fairly anti-human rights. In fact in 100 years folks will not believe there was ever a time when gay marriage was not allowed and if they do teach of the history of such a time they will certainly think we were backwards.

The society in the United States is not ready for the homosexual marriage issue right now. After the recent strife brought on by 9-11 folks have retreated somewhat to their religion and the largest belief in the United States of America is Christianity right now. The Gay and Lesbian groups have had better success in some EU nations and in Canada, which is more open and liberal in their thinking. In the United States the gay community has about an 18% following although less than 2% are gay. It takes in human groups and societies about 8% to have a trend and they obviously have that. Arnold Swarznegger has said he will veto the gay marriage bill, although half of California really does not care and the state is somewhat split on the issue, with a large majority, just not worried about it. Eventually gay marriage in the United States will stand, but now is not the time and it appears that the United States is not quite ready for it. If gay and lesbian couples are really concerned about getting married they can move to Canada for now and in a decade or so, I am certain that things may change. Perhaps making personal commitments now and staying together until then to make it official may be a better tact. It seems that this current push is a little more than the American People are willing to swallow right now and anymore pushing will only hurt the gay and lesbian movement. It would be better for all concerned if they take a wait and see approach and put it on the back burner. This quite political group has been pushing and made excellent headway for themselves in the political arenas and will eventually get their way.

Sometimes it is better for a group to back off and not upset the whole for the betterment of our civilization. I am not gay so first hand I cannot say how I might feel about the issue, only what I observe and after traveling to every city in the US over 10,000 in populations in the last 5-years, I can say that I know what I am talking about. There is no need for the gay and lesbian groups to cause a raucous right now or go off the deep end with marches and media, it only will anger the rest and then they will have hurt their hard earned forward momentum. I think every one might wish to think on this and not allow it to divide us, as it currently does not seem to be anything personal, just the current trend in our present period. Think on this.
