The Sequel to Fiddler on the Roof
May 23, 2009
The musical, Fiddler on the Roof, is about a man Tevye being forced to confront changes in the institution of Love and Marriage. First, he has to deal with his older daughter wanting to marry the man she loves, not the man he picked for her. Then he has to deal with his second daughter marrying a Marxist Rebel despite what he thinks. Then he has to deal with his third daughter marrying a gentile; he has a hard time dealing with that but at the end, he tells the couple that G-d should be with them.
On Tuesday, May 25, 2008 at 10:00 AM, the California Supreme Court will be dealing with the same issues that Tevye dealt them; on one hand, the people voted to ban same-sex marrage, but on the other hand who is anyone to tell anyone else who to marry.
Personally, Just like Tevye could not understand marrying for love, I can’t understand same sex marriage. To my friends in same sex relationships, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t support you, I just don’t understand and don’t think I will ever understand, BUT WHAT RIGHT DOES THAT GIVE ME TO TELL ANYONE ELSE WHO TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH AND WHAT RIGHT DOES THAT GIVE ME TO TELL ANYONE WHO TO LOVE!
If same sex marriage bugs someone that much, dont go to the wedding and don’t buy a wedding gift. I am hoping that the CA Supreme Court thows out Proposition 8 this Tuesday and when it does, the fiddler will still be playing.
