GAY MARRAIGE Yes or no?

Their are many debate right now about gay marriage especially here in Asia were most country are still very conservative although some of them already adhere to the westerners influence and culture just like here at my native country Philippines.

I think Its times for me to share my point of view about this one. Although my opinions really doesn't count at all, anyway I just want to express or voice my opinion about this one. Being a christian and and also as a gay, which I'm proud of that by the way, its a little bit contradictory for my part, on which side I think I' m going to support. The gay community and the church are two very different institution who are opposing to the idea of gay marriage, of course. When listened to both party,their is point where I tends to question my credibility on which side a going to affiliate with. I think both of them has a valid reasons.

I believe that christian community, (obviously), strictly opposes to the idea of gay marriage, because they tend to protect the sanctity of marriage between men and women only. When I was in grade school we have a class during the end of are afternoon period, sometimes we called it us the religious class. I just remember that are teacher, which is a nun by the way, about the story in the bible in which she shared with us, that their wan once a city who allowed marriage between same sex, anyway to make the story short, it was destroyed by a rain of fire that engulf the entire and the people turn into salt. Back then I'm still a bit young and innocent, I have no idea about the concept of what being gay is a all about, as far I know it was being taught as something immoral. Being a kid and gay, is really difficult back then, I get bullied a lot , me and my father doesn't have a good relationship because of being like that. It is really difficult to express how I felt, when less people could really understand you. Sometimes I felt that already change my interpretation of what gay is all about, and wishing I was born straight. I felt that maybe it really something bad, and I should choose to stop. The problem is being gay is not a choose but rather is really who you are. You cant change because people wanted you to, anyway its not about them it always about me me me!!!....

Well thank goodness that was back then, now I change my belief completely, I'm very grateful that society become less ignorant and become more open minded that we do exist, we have special roles in every part of the society were we belong. According to the gay community that gay marriage should be consider to be valid and should receive a blessings from the church. They believe that love is such universal and powerful that it may take different forms, and every one has the opportunity and the freedom to embrace that no matter what. I do believe and agreed both of their opinions.

Well I think its time for me to give my own idea about this. Its really difficult for me on which side to stand, as I aid before because as I christian and as I gay. I certainly do believe that we should respect the highest rule and the teaching of are church, we should respect the sanctity of marriage between men and women under the rule of GOD, which is consider to be important to ensure everyone attain right values and conduct. We should adhere to standard practice of what marriage is all about. In defense for the gay community. I believe that no one in this world has the right to judge gay people and certainly they have no right to stop their freedom to commit the rights towards marriage. We knew that love is such a universal thing, seeing two people in love is so powerful no matter what forms they maybe, and we have no right to contradict to that. For short we have no right to judge others, we have no right to dictate other people on what they do. Everyone has the right or entitled to bind their love to each other. Stop all of this hatred and time for us to be more acceptable. It doesn't mean that what is beyond normal already consider a taboo.

I agree the right of people towards marriage especially for us gays, but at the same time we have to respect the teachings of our church. All I wanted is for people to be able validate the gay marriage so that any couple has the right to live a normal life in their state, the idea that you are being recognize, the ability towards legal partnership legitimize by the laws. As I have heard some of this has already been done is some state, which I'm happy because it only shows that we are moving towards the world of acceptance. Love and Peace to the world.

About me!!!!


Hi! my name is Mark Anthony De los Santos, some people used to call me, mark but I prefer being called Anthony because when I look up the origin of my name over the net, mark signifies rebellious, that's the kind of personality that I really don't want to go into or perhaps even being refer to, although sometimes I am, just kidding!! , anyway because of that I simply prefer being called Anthony instead which means "worthy of praise" maybe..HAhaha!!...Anyway I just recently turned 21 last December. I'm a bit sad because I could not believe I'm getting older, probably me still wanted to be such a big baby, it always give you an excuse to do anything you want. I always consider myself to be young at heart as what they say, but certainly I'm happy that I reach the age which is consider to be the transition from adolescence to adulthood..21 for me means more responsibility, how irony , It only means one thing that I need to do things on my own now, time to start planning for my future, after all, I have a lot of things plan ahead of me. Sometimes I'm a bit worried because at this point time I'm still a bit confused of what I really wanted for my future. I really don't know were to begin. I have so many ambition in my life, way to many that I'm afraid that maybe I might no be able to achieved at least some part of it, hoping not, well i still have faith left in me, Anyway enough of that.
Well what else, by the way did I mention that I'm still single, although its sad to admit the fact that I'm still single but what else I can I do when in fact its true, and still really have no idea why, sometimes I ask myself is their something wrong with me?... hoping none...anyway even thought I'm single, I try not to worry about it because my main focus right now is really more about how to jump start my career, its really my main priority before my love life. I still have many things that I need to prove first before finally realizing that I'm ready to fell in love, hoping when that time comes I'm still on my 20's hahaha!!!....OK what else? hmmm!..about me, my character, my attitude.....let me think????...I believe that I'm a kind of person that when you first saw for the first time, you will realize that I'm a bit timid and shy, but no worries, it doesn't mean that I'm not approachable and friendly type of person, the truth is I'm friendly, really! for sure!...the reason that I tend not be vocal to any person that I recently meet because I'm a kind of person who wanted to observe first, whether that kind of person share the same ideas, passion and believes in life as I do. If that's the case then certainly we are going to be a best buddy...

With my best friends, I am very open I tend to share a lot about my personal life because I believe I could trust them to keep some details "secret"..:-), anyway I also talk a lot to the point that I'm bit annoying or being nonsense maybe its my way of stirring up the mood of the crowd because I really hate to be a part of the boring group, as what they say "Be Happy even thought theirs nothing to be happy about because that what makes life beautiful"..agree? or maybe not?... I am a very a passionate person, I get so easily emotional in a lot of things, from watching a drama movie to even seeing people cry, make me fell sad also, maybe it only shows that I' am kind heart ed?..I guess so..just kidding maybe the exact word for that probably be lighthearted..correct?..My motto in life is "keep moving forward" is this a bit a familiar to you?, if it is maybe you a already watch the movie, "Meet the Robinson's" from Disney. After I have watch the movie, it really inspire me a lot in certain way that it changes my outlook in life.
I'm a kind of person who willing to be active as much as possible everyday. It feels that I need to do something productivity, I don't want a day passing by without doing nothing, for short, I need to be active all the time. Probably it explains much why I choose that kind of motto after all
I'm kind of person who willing to do something positive everyday, for myself and to people that surrounds me. It give me a sense of accomplishment that you deed something good.My greatest dream in life that before I die, is for me to able to make such a huge impact to the society or even perhaps the world that may change people perception towards a betterment, Wow what an ambition, I know its a bit to much for a guy like me who are still on the process on choosing what steps I make in becoming much closer to my ideal path, however it serve as an motivation that somehow, at least I try without knowing that I are already making progress.I really have many passion in life and unfortunately still adds up. I would like to become a fashion designer someday, haha! out of nowhere!..anyway I just love the lifestyle of being a part of the socialite, the opportunity to engaged in so many people is really the kind of things that I wanted to do, just like in FTV the fashion channel, aside from that, I'm more in touch with my creative mind, I like to keep myself being creative all the time. For me creativity is like my identity, that is what I'm destined me to do, really, a bit funny but its true, its my relief from the strees that life could bring..Hahha! How I wish that I could start at this very moment in achieving my goals, because I promise myself that 10 years from I'm going to be successful and made such an incredible accomplishment that my family or friends could be proud of me, and don't forget the people, HAHaha! Well I already share a lot of things about me, if only time could give their are really a lot things that I would like to share, anyway at least somehow you have now an idea who is ANTHONY all about...
