Marriage Equality ribbonby ~marriageequality

Community Projects / Awareness / 2009 / Gay & Lesbian Pride

I originally posted this under my other account

I'm tired of being treated as a second class citizen by self-righteous, so-called "Christians" who don't want to know or understand the history of marriage. They don't want to educate themselves and recognize marriage in many forms existed long before their religion was created, and gays have been allowed to get married in the past.

After the evil that was committed by voters in too many states I created this design for the white ribbon campaign.

You can buy all kinds of products with this on it here and at my Cafe Press store, marriagequality [link] You can also buy this design through DA at [link] All net proceeds will be donated to LGBT / equal rights groups.

(If your group wants to use this design, and proceeds will be donated to LGBT groups, contact me and I will send you an unwatermarked version.)

Glad to see some support for this out there! I love the design to it as well.

Marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:21-24, Matthew 19:4-6). Same-sex "marriage" is a perversion of the institution and an offense to the God who created marriage.

You don't know what you are talking about. Do some research - educate yourself. Marriage existed long before your god opened up shop. People existed long before christianity raised its little head, and they didn't need your god to know how to survive, live and love.

Your bible is not the only religious writing, and you have no right to shove your mythology down the throats of others. I don't care what your so-called god says - this country was established on the basis of freedom of religion. You can believe whatever hate you want, but the no one else has to. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.

You probably think that people of color don't deserve equal rights. And blacks should sit in the back of the bus. Or that interracial marriages shouldn't be permitted. And women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

The constitution emphasizes EQUALITY. Do you understand that? EQUAL? Not equal as long as they believe just the same as you do. Separation of church and state needs to be remembered - which means your religious beliefs don't matter anyway. Justice, equality, civil rights - that is what matters.

You and your hate are going to lose - equality and civil rights are going to win. The last gasp efforts of people who spew the hatred is sad, pitiful, and laughable.

I'm glad to see a supporter for this. Being a bisexual, I know that I'd like to spend my life with whoever I fall in love with, be it male or female, and having the inability to do so due to people's ridiculous and so-called Christian beliefs sickens me.

Very nice design. As far as art goes, the edges could be trimmed due to the excess white pixels, but other than that, very spot on.

Thank you for your support.

I don't consider myself an expert - mostly self-taught, so I really appreciate your critique.

Well, I can't draw much more than a stick man; I know how hard drawing can be when you're not naturally talented for it. I typically respect anyone who has the creative talent and ability to effectively draw good art.
