I just really don't understand people. I could not care what people do with their lives. I don't care what TV shows they like. I don't care how well they take care of their plants. I certainly don't care who they love (within legal restraints of course). If anyone is able to find someone who they bond with, that's a good thing. More power to them. It's freaking bizarre to get worked up about how people live their lives. I've been alive for 5 decades and I've never understood the hate for the other, but it's frighteningly common.

I'd probably say "consenting adults" when it comes to who people love instead of "within legal constraints", because if conservatives could make gay people illegal, they would. But otherwise, I'm with you 100%.

I don't go to church, think church is probably one of the most dangerous places for kids to be around adults, and still don't care if people choose to force their kids to go to church. It's just not my business who people choose to associate with as long as they're not harming others.

That a much better way of phrasing it, because you are 100% correct. Conservatives would make Gay people illegal and child marriages A-OK.
