Same-sex marriages have been a major debate throughout the whole world since the beginning of time. However, in recent times, same-sex couples have been winning the war against discrimination and receiving rights.
Of course, these rights would not stop the people who disagree with ‘unnatural’ couples.
Just recently, pictures of a same-sex couple’s marriage went viral on Facebook. In a post by The Philippine Pageantry, the page shared about 30 pictures of the ceremony.

Undoubtedly, there were also many netizens who were very vocal about their opposition towards the couple. Many cited religion to defend their stance and went on to bash the couple.
“Remember, God created man and woman only. This is against the will of God.”
“Did you know that gay and lesbian people create diseases? God created woman for man. Man for woman.”
Ugh, I think the only thing I’m upset about is how good looking they are but they will never be mine… :`(

One particular netizen brought up how interracial marriage was ‘illegal’ and was highly persecuted in the past and how we are making the same mistake now as humans did last time.
“You know, once upon a time there was an age where people were disgusted with the idea of interracial marriage, often citing ridiculous sources and even using religion to justify it.
“But now we look at those hatred filled people with disgust and raised eyebrows.
“Keep fighting guys for there will be a time in the future where children will learn and be disgusted upon realizing there was a time where the LGBT community had to fight for basic human rights.”
Well, if they aren’t bothering your life, then don’t bother theirs either!
