Research has shown that marriage provides substantial psychological and physical health benefits due to the moral, economic and social support extended to married couples. Conversely, recent empirical evidence has illustrated the harmful psychological effect of policies restricting marriage rights for same-sex couples. Additionally, children raised by same-sex couples have been shown to be on par with the children of opposite-sex couples in their psychological adjustment, cognitive abilities and social functioning.

stfuhomophobes: stfusexists: whatsajuthika: thatreallytanguy: polyesterspectre: fuckyeahgirlcrush: Nahh, it’s totally cool that you think a huge portion of the world doesn’t deserve rights. We should really stop “bitching and complaining” about this silly stuff! How about this: if you don’t like chicken parmesan, I think you’re probably crazy or something because chicken parmesan is insanely delicious, but I respect your opinion. However, if you think that a large portion of the world’s population doesn’t deserve the same rights as everyone else because they happen to be attracted to the same sex, you’re a fucking asshole and your opinion doesn’t deserve my fucking respect. I will respect your right to an opinion, but I decide whether or not I’m not going to respect your opinion.  Protip: If your opinion shits on other people, I am not going to respect your stupid fucking opinion.   Haha We take it too far? Why should people respect others who don’t? Relevant to my life. I need to say this, cause it bugs me… having an opinion is everyone’s right.  But not all opinions are as simple as strawberry vs. chocolate ice cream. When your opinions hurt others, you actually have to stand accountable.  It is my right to have the opposite opinion and to tell you why you are misinformed and hurtful.  I have a right to my feelings when you hurt me or harm the people I love.  I am free to have the opinion that you are willfully ignorant or a jerk. There is a right and wrong and causing suffering is wrong.  The first amendment does NOT mean that you get to say whatever you want without anyone responding negatively to you, if just means I can’t have you arrested or force you to be quiet.  Grow up or get off the Internets. And as tumblr fights back….
