Why not? Wearing a fried egg on your head is fashionable and
tells the world you are prosperous enough to spare the egg and not eat it.
Hold it right there, isn’t that a bit absurd? I mean,
wearing a fried egg on your head? After a day or so, it will begin to stink,
right? Ok, so you can wear an imitation fried egg instead.
Still, I say: hold on to your whoopees. Wearing a fried egg
on your head is not any more offensive, impractical, ridiculous and absurd than
wearing a veil, a turban or a skull cap. But these others are justified because
it is TRADITION, it is linked to a person’s faith and this is the way they
express it, the way they identify with that particular group that also chooses
to wear them.
When
I hear those hate-spewing Christianists defend the INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE
because it is in the Christian tradition I cringe. You see, you may opt to wear
a fried egg on your head, but you can’t make a law that says everyone has to
wear one.
If you really think about it, covering your head should only
be for the purpose of retaining body heat; the head being the one part of the
body that loses a great deal of it. Any other reason to cover your head is
either for decoration, for making a fashion statement and joining a conformity
trend or to abide by your religion and show your submissiveness.
The same goes for marriage. It is a human right, not a
heterosexual privilege. Marriage is a commitment that two human beings make to
each other and that is where it should stop…no other qualifications, no rules,
regulations or prohibitions. If you are applying religious criteria where your
imaginary god sees heterosexuals as preferable, then I say to you: The Creator
does not look upon you more favorably if you insert a penis into a vagina.
