We are in a
perpetual state of transformation; a caterpillar changes into a butterfly
thanks to a biological process known as metamorphosis. I am in the middle of a
transformation of my own, thanks to a biological process known as being on a
cruise-control relationship with the WOLF…(Now more like a domesticated white dire
wolfthat prefers having her meal served to her…in a bowl…regularly… failure to
which may lead to erotic asphyxiation). I might as well as be…married, Yes? Because
getting hitched at 23 is like leaving the party at 9.30pm and that’s always
fun! NOT.
“Who gives this
woman?”
The ‘M’ word:
marriage. Whilst it’s not for everyone, it’s ideal for the co-dependent,
masochistic and criminally insane. Personally, the very thought unhinges me,
something to do with being smothered in middle class conventions and perhaps
something darker I can’t articulate. I wouldn’t even be having this soapbox
moment if it weren’t for that damn Marriage Bill that has had men cradling
their nut sacks in fear and women gleefully frothing at the loins for the past
few days.
That bill has
without a doubt also earned a standing ovation from my tallest finger.
True equality does
not exist. Now that we all know that…What is better than marriage equality?
Marriage freedom! Government should not
legislate relationships between anybody, period! Why should the government be
concerned with what type of sex someone engages in or doesn’t?! A government
that is not in charge of marriage, with exception of consanguinity (close blood
relations), exploitation of minors, use of force and victimization and
commercial trafficking of sexual favors. “Marriage” should not be a love
license for adults but a structure for assigning and enforcing responsibility
for the care of potential children produced/adopted to the extent of criminal
prosecution and neglect. As a matter of fact, marriage is a religious term and
therefore polarizes people.

A particular religion’s belief should not control
secular law. The law should be changed to make every “marriage” a domestic
partnership. This way, CONSENTING adults are not restricted from entering
life-long commitments and religious individuals or organizations aren’t forced
to acknowledge something they disagree with. Win-win..Yes? Those who choose to
co-habit can formalize their arrangements through private contract process
which the government can enforce but does not sanction. It’s not only about
whose genitals are in whom. There are people who aren’t homosexual and have no
family other than their“chosen” family. Shouldn’t they be allowed to form
domestic partnerships that do not necessarily encompass sex?
Pipe dream huh?
Kenya is not ready for separation of church and state. On the other hand,
acceptance of the LGBTIQ community has risen from 5% to 8% …I think. That’s
something.
Why would anybody
want to get married anyway? 3 years down the line, you lie awake on the couch
at 2AM cursing this icy, strident, self-important, castrating wasp you shackled
your balls to as onion-sized mosquitoes wait for you to doze off…OR in “wedded
bliss” with a beast, who according to the standards of his community, physical
violence is forgivable in “men”: a natural response to having their virility
stifled or thwarted, to the provocations of a shrewish wife. “She
pushed me over the edge, the bitch!!”
Every day, every
month, every year should be a conscious decision, to stay with my domesticated
dire wolf; my future stubby, whom I love. Not a legal binding suffocating agreement.
Besides, what if she gets rabid and goes tots cray?? Lol!
“Who gives this
woman?”
“I do.”
“You can’t call it coming out of the closet
when the door was wide open, the closet was made of glass, and everyone could
see you in there having gay sex.”
NB…PS..:A few
years back in Saudi Arabia, a high ranking Islamic cleric
issued a fatwa (Islamic legal decree) saying that female workers should
breastfeed their male co-workers at least five times a day, to establish a
family bond and preclude any sexual relations
and thus allow both sexes to be alone together at work. “A woman at work
can take off the veil or reveal her hair in front of someone whom she
breastfed.”*walks away*
