Let Them Marry

Let Them Marry? By Elton Camp If gays should be allowed to marry or not Has put a lot of people into an ethical spot Separate from religion the state should be How it can legally be banned is hard to see To the convictions of most, it flies in the face Having been reared to call it a vile disgrace But should church doctrine by law be forced Does that mean that religion is thus endorsed When you marry, it’s harder to go your way If you do, it’s alimony you may have to pay Spouses are responsible for a legal mate’s debt That’s a pretty bad position in which to get If you decide the marriage was a bad mistake Legal action to dissolve it you have to take Unwed gay partners haven’t problems like these They can simply walk away anytime they please It makes me wonder if maybe some gay cuss Has the right to be miserable like the rest of us
