I blame People magazine.
A few years ago, when Jennifer Lopez married Marc Anthony, they had her on their cover in a white wedding dress and photos of the ceremony being presided over by a priest.
It was all very lovely, until you considered the fact that Jennifer Lopez had been married before--and not just once either.
Apparently, the Catholic church is totally fine with people getting married multiple times as long as they're famous, rich, or both.
They're just not all right with two men getting married.
And People magazine doesn't have the guts to ask J.Lo how exactly she figured she could walk down the aisle in a white dress for the THIRD TIME.
It's hard to imagine that California can vote down gay marriage, and yet, when Khloe decided to marry someone she'd known for mere weeks, nobody said anything.
Nobody came out to protest. Nobody claimed that the sanctity of marriage was being compromised, or used for publicity. No representatives from any church said that this shouldn't happen because a marriage should be between two people who were going to spend the rest of their lives together, which these two, I think it's safe to say, are not.
Now, I like Khloe. I have no problem with her getting married. And since I already think having a piece of paper to say that you love someone is silly, I don't really have a problem with two people who barely know each other getting married and the media making it out to be a fairy tale.
But if straight people can the silly pieces of paper, and if they're helping to make them seem silly by allowing these frivolous unions to happen and then lauding them, why can't I have one of my own?
Just sayin'
