a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
This year has been full of people I know who have gotten married or engaged. Most of these marriages are those
of convenience, rather than love. Of my two cousins, one married for love, the other just to be married. Of the friends I know, they have all married someone who asked them to get married, and I believe they all agreed because they feel that everyone else they know is hitched,so they should be too. The latest friend to get engaged falls in this category as well.
My parents have given up on me getting married. I have too, because I donot wish to make the same "settlement of the heart" that these other people have. I believe I may be eternally single, but, let's face it, I have not exactly met a lot of winners. I would rather be on my own than stuck with a life full of resentment and hate. Which is why I ask all my homosexual friends, "do you really want matrimony in your life?" People who get
married change, even those who tie the knot after having shacked-up for years. So, have the wedding. Go out, buy the streamers and napkins. Will that be a substitute when they do nothing you like, and you are no longer attracted to them? Divorce is costly, my friends. Denying the marriage bond to gay couples may be the best gift we breeders can give you after all.
