It’s been a while but I’m back, and with a serious topic.  I live in NC and on May 8th I’ll be voting against this Amendment One.  For those who who don’t know here is what amendment one is proposing…The North Carolina Same-Sex Marriage Amendment will appear on the May 8, 2012 ballot in the state of North Carolina as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment.

The measure would define marriage in the state constitution as between one man and one woman, and would ban any other type of “domestic legal union” such as civil unions and domestic partnerships.^[1][2]

Same-sex marriage is already illegal in the state of North Carolina. The proposed measure, however, would add the ban to the state constitution.^[3]

Debated in the state legislature during the Spring 2011 legislative session, the amendment failed to receive sufficient votes to qualify for the ballot. However, the measure was debated during the Fall session which began September 12, 2011.^[4] That very day, the House voted 75-42 in favor of referring the proposed amendment to the statewide ballot.^[5] The State Senate echoed the House with a 30-16 approval vote a day later onSeptember 13, 2011.^[6]

Now I understand that gay marriage is already illegal in our state but to suggest that this be put in the state constitution is just going over board.  Isn’t bad enough that they don’t want equality for gay people? Then they have to go and push this further by creating this amendment.  I was watching the news months ago and I saw a member of our local government who is openly gay did an interview saying how hurt he was by the fact that people he worked with were against his happiness.

It’s truly disheartening to know that people are still so closed minded.  What really burns me up is some of these people who are so quick to throw the bible at us saying how God says marriage is between a man and a woman are the same people who don’t even go to church, or they gamble, cuss, have sex out of marriage, lust, commit adultery and all kinds of other things.  

If you want to get biblical let’s do it….

 Leviticus 19:19 Keep my decrees.  Do not mate different kinds of animals.  Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.  Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.

Leviticus 19:11  “Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another.

Leviticus 19:15 Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.

Leviticus 19:16 Do not go about spreading slander among your people.

Leviticus 19:26 Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it.

Leviticus 19:27 Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

Let’s not forget the most famous defense of Sodom and Gomorrah….well let’s read shall we???

Ezekiel 16:49 Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant,overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

I ask you, before you go quoting the bible trying to condemn the gays…consider the things you are not following from the bible as well!

Why is it so hard to say how you really feel to the one you love????

So is it just me or do people seem to get overly religious on Sunday’s.  I have nothing against giving God the praise he’s due but if you’re going to do it be consistent.  Sunday is not the only day of the week that God is good.  According to a lot of people’s status’, tweets, and other posts, God is good all the time.  If that’s true then act like it!!!  Don’t go in on all your blessing and how the preacher spoke to you just on Sunday.

I think what pisses me off the most is a lot of these status’ come from people who act a plum fool the rest of the week!  These people post provacative pictures, talking about how high or drunk they are, how they fucked someone and how good it was and all that, Sunday comes around and every other word is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.  Look all I’m saying is if you gone be a heathen, BE A HEATHEN, EVERYDAY!!!!  If your going to praise God, PRAISE GOD, EVERYDAY!!!!  There’s no half stepping or inbetween.  I’m not the perfect Christian believe me but I don’t give praise when it’s convenient.  Even when I’m hurting I stay positive and show God and everyone else that I’m grateful for life!  That’s Chipmunk Says everyone!!!

I just wanted to share this because recently something happened to me with a few friends that really upset me and I had to get everything sorted out.  I hate when people come to me with this “he said, she said” because you don’t know who to believe, especially when it involves people you consider/considered friends.  Of course I was pissed at first but I really had to step back for a moment and consider each friend and their point of view.  Another thing that bothers me is someone gave me advice on the subject, I followed through with their suggestion but they seem to be closed minded about the situation.  I really had to learn how to forgive people because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, makes mistakes.  In this particular situation I had to look past the information and realize that this information may help someone else.  All I want to do is educate people, help them understand the person I am now, and I’d rather put life out in the open if it means helping someone else understand that they are not alone and that they have someone to talk to.

It’s hard to be in a situation where you have to looks past your feelings and consider everyone else, I’m not used to doing that but I’ve grown up and I like the fact that I was able to mature.  I just wish now that everyone I associate with would do the same, life is too short, life throws curve balls everyday and how you hit those curve balls can make or break you.

I chose to forgive in this case because the friendship means that much to me, I need people around who want to be there and who have my best interest at heart, all other’s I’ve chosen to let go of because I have enough negative in my life and I don’t need anymore.  I really want to encourage you to reach out to people you have problems with and sit down like adults and talk it out.  I’ve found that communication can be the biggest source of release and results…if you don’t talk with someone you have a problem with how will they ever understand?

I beg you to use your words to help not to hurt, don’t post crap on Facebook and Twitter about these people that’s a real, Lord forgive me, BITCH move.  Everyone says “If I have something to say I’ll say it to your face”  but NEVER DO!!! That’s whack…man/woman up and say how you feel but at the same time present it in a calm and clear way so that the situation doesn’t escalate to fighting and childish behavior.

FORGIVE AND MOVE FORWARD….#THATISALL
