Keith Olbermann on Why Gay Marriage is a Question of Love and Why I Argee
This is a recent comment by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on gay marriage and its being not about the homosexual act of homosexual sex or promiscuity, perversion, orgiastic lust or an act involving other heterosexual people in any kind of topsy-turvy abomination of the pure and devoted love each person is called upon by the God he or she believes in and others to show to his or her neighbor. For Olbermann it is about caring enough for another to want to be that human being’s very best friend and companion in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, through the best and worst of times and at best, totally devoid of selfish desires. It is simply and succinctly a question of love.

This comment kept me up last night reworking the idea that there are still those who feel homosexual attraction to be a choice - I came to this epiphany: Attraction by nature is an emotion and therefore a biological and psychological response to a stimuli. It is not an action, but a non action. While human beings often do have control over their avoiding the triggers and the actions that follow emotional responses, no human in existence can ever deny his or her emotions whether they be good or not so good.
To illustrate: When you watch a movie and enjoy it, do you tell yourself to enjoy it or do you simply enjoy it because your entire being as a whole has a happy response to it? I will bet that most of you will tell me the latter. In the same way, a person has a type of person to whom he or she is drawn not because that person chose to be attracted to Blondes, Brunettes, white people, black people or purple people, but because he or she feels something that involuntarily tells him or her “I feel this way” - not “I want to feel this way,” but simply and purely, that “I feel this way.” It’s called “falling” in love for a reason. Like the act of falling itself, the law of gravitational pull we feel cannot be abolished not matter how much we may try.
Wax knowing thyself.
Olbermann is a left-wing atheist hack who is desperately trying to hang on to his failing TV program. He hates conservatives, religion, and now apparently has extended his hatred to the majority of the people who voted for Prop 8. He has no credibility.
To ADR: I don’t agree with everything the man says. Further, the man was nearly crying in his comment, so I DO NOT doubt his sincerity.
Also, do you hate liberals or gays? If so you are objectively not Christian! Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Sheesh, pardon my not proofreading that previous post for a couple of errors!
Wow. I wonder why that guy has never commented on my blog? I couldn’t help but notice that he/she didn’t address the issue at hand in your post, but rather simply had a knee jerk reaction to the mouthpiece.
I was having a conversation with a friend of mine in the Hoosier state this morning, and she was floored by KO’s comment, but didn’t think he was “credible” enough to convince some of her more indoctrinated friends. So I suggested she simply download the transcript and not attach his name to the words.
She sent the transcript out in a mass email, and called me about five hours later saying she’d received a tremendous response from people she never would’ve thought would grasp what he was saying. Tomorrow she’s going to tell them that Olbermann spoke those words…
Rhino, you see what I’ m sayin’ though, right?
I understand your point completely, and I think you made it well. No, it’s not a choice; it’s clearly the way individuals are wired, and anyone selling anything different is lying.
Also, my post earlier today was a response to one of conservative politics today’s pieces, not anything done by you.
Obviously I am doing something very wrong… Mikey: you did good! ~k
