God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...The Definition of Marriage

I recently had a conversation with a girlfriend who wanted to know how I voted on Amendment 2. I told her that I voted "yes" to Amendment 2 because I personally believe that marriage should be defined as a legal union between one woman and one man. She said, but voting "yes" to it doesn't provide or protect those who choose not to get married for other reasons. I repeated I voted "yes" and my main concern was same sex marriages. Her argument to me was that I should look beyond same sex marriage and that the government is trying to govern folks choices. I replied I'm not concerned with why people are together and who they chose to play house with, my concern is marriage being recognized as a legal union between one man and one woman and I voted to protect that. And I also said, if folk want the benefits of being married, they should meet the requirements to reap the benefits of being in a legal marriage. I'm not telling anyone how to vote on this amendment because we all have a choice. I am just trying to make a choice that serves me and my house.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine
