All people are equal.

   So if your here you are probably interested in why I chose to get ordained to conduct weddings, baptisms and funerals since anyone who knows me knows I am not religious.
   First let me explain, I would have to say I am probably considered agnostic, but truly my feelings on religion boil down to this, if you want to believe the tree in your front yard is your god then as long as you aren't pushing your beliefs on me or anyone else and you are not hurting anyone then what do I care who you choose to worship, go for it. Plus I find organized religion to be political and hypocritical, but as I said to each their own.
   Now on to why I want to be able to Marry people, well I have a lot of gay friends and I truly believe that being "gay" is not a choice that we are all born the way we are. I was born hetero others are born homo. In this world it is hard enough to find love so why should it bother me who someone ELSE falls in love with. I don't feel that gays getting married is the breakdown of the family we can chalk the breakdown of the family to lots of other things. There are a lot of gay couples out there that make WAY better parents and spouses then so called straight couples and parents. I believe that everyone should be treated equal, if I can go and get married and be miserable they should have that privilege too. Ha ha So even though it isn't legal in Arizona yet...if any of my friends gay, straight or other wise wanted to have a wedding ceremony and wanted someone to marry them that truly wants them to have the best day possible and when they look at them they see two people in love not two straight or gay people..then I want to be considered because I want to believe in love in all forms.
  People may not agree with me and how I feel but that's why we live in the country we do so we can all believe what we want. I have a problem with any type of prejudice. I had a good friend in high school, Erin who said, "We are all like a bag of M&Ms we are all different on the outside but if you remove the outer shell we are all the same on the inside, some nuttier than others." Now if she got that from somewhere else then I apologize but I am giving credit to where I heard it. Erin passed away years ago and she is missed dearly but she is right. How can you hate another person because of their skin color, religion or sexual preference? WHY do we fight wars over religion? Why is one religion better than another? That's why I decided to do what I did. I want to represent all people and every persons right to be happy.
