With all the Sesame Street hubbub as of late it seems people (like me) have been watching a TON of old Sesame Street videos. And with all that watching someone over at boingboing came across a great clip of Grover discussing what marriage is. What makes the clip stand out is that nowhere in the clip do Grover and the young boy he's talking with define marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. Instead they talk about people loving, hugging, kissing and helping each other.
It is poignant and intelligent and very Sesame Street. And most importantly it gets to the heart of what marriage is--a special relationship you have with another person, not an institution defined by gender.
I think that, if there is a god, he or she doesn't place restrictions on love. If two people come together to create a life together based on love, trust, honor and commitment I find it hard to believe god would judge them because of there sex. Wouldn't that be like saying love between a man and a woman has more meaning than love between a father and son or mother and daughter
