SAME-SEX MARRIAGE\u00a0Q & A
\n<\/strong>I asked a friend of mine to conduct a no-holds bar interview with me regarding my stance on same-sex marriage so I could post it on this page. \u00a0Here is the transcript.<\/p>\n

Does your company perform Same-Sex Weddings in Hawaii?
\n<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n

Are you gay or bisexual?
\n<\/strong>I’m 100% straight as an arrow.<\/p>\n

Are you religious?
\n<\/strong>I’m a Christian.<\/p>\n

If you are Christian, how can you allow your company to perform same-sex marriages?
\n<\/strong>Easy. \u00a0By saying, “yes, I allow my company to perform same-sex marriages.” \u00a0…haha.<\/p>\n

At first I did not perform same-sex weddings, but that only lasted a few months. \u00a0 I just have nothing against two people, or anyone falling love with each other. \u00a0 This is one topic where I am at odds with many in the Church, and with many in my religion. \u00a0 But oh well.<\/p>\n

Can you sleep at night with your decision?
\n<\/strong>No, because I have so much work from same-sex weddings, I am editing their photos or videos at night. \u00a0Kidding. \u00a0I don’t get many same-sex wedding work. \u00a0I am up at night because I work mostly at night. \u00a0I’m a nighthawk. \u00a0When I do sleep, I am worrying more about football.
\n<\/strong>
\nYou know what I mean.
\n<\/strong>There are much more important things in life to lose sleep about, like terrorism.<\/p>\n

Is homosexuality a sin?
\n<\/strong>There is a definitely a biblical argument that it is.<\/p>\n

So if you think it’s a sin, and sin can’t be in hell, do you think you are condemning a same-sex couple to hell by performing same-sex weddings?
\n<\/strong>First off, we’re all sinners. \u00a0Homosexuality, if it is a sin, isn’t the only sin out there. \u00a0Working on Sundays can be considered a sin. \u00a0There are 101 things in the Bible that are considered a sin and those are willingly committed by every soul, straight or gay, everyday. \u00a0We’re all sinners.<\/p>\n

By the way, I know I may look like Asian Jesus, but I’m not Jesus. \u00a0Jesus is the only one that can sentence anyone to hell. \u00a0To think myself or my company has the same power of Jesus is quite flattering. \u00a0 You do know these questions will be posted on my website right?<\/p>\n

Yes, but I am an anonymous interviewer.
\n<\/strong>Yes, I’m keeping my word your identity won’t be revealed. \u00a0We’ll keep you in the closet.<\/p>\n

Do you think same-sex marriage should be legal?<\/strong>
\nI don’t think any marriage should be legalized. \u00a0 Why do we want the government involved in something as sacred as marriage? \u00a0The government should be protecting us from terrorist. \u00a0Not defining who people can fall in love with. \u00a0Because only certain States have legalized same-sex marriages, it’s become quite a headache for same-sex couples when it comes to divorce, and filing taxes.<\/p>\n

How should marriage be defined if the government does not define it?
\n<\/strong>It should be defined however a couple wants to define it, whether it’s religious or through culture, or just personal belief. \u00a0 Many Catholics will only recognize a person’s first marriage. \u00a0 Their second marriage, no matter what, will not be recognized under any circumstance. \u00a0A Catholic priest cannot experience the joys of marriage. \u00a0I find that horrible. \u00a0LDS fundamentalist believe in marriage with multiple wives. \u00a0 Royals like to keep it in the family. \u00a0There is a woman in Europe who married the Berlin wall. \u00a0Many of my couples are not religious, and many don’t get marriage certificates at all. \u00a0However that couple wants to define their marriage, let it be. \u00a0Granted, it may conflict with many common views and draw stares. \u00a0But that’s their problem they have to live with, not mine.<\/p>\n

Should companies, ministers, be forced to conduct services for same-sex couples?
\n<\/strong>No. \u00a0Absolutely not. \u00a0 A company, minister, or any individual, has the right to refuse business from anyone, for any reason. \u00a0Sometimes, the most offensive type of speech, is the speech that must be protected. \u00a0 Most same-sex couples agree with my position on this. \u00a0 Right now, we are on the cusp of accepting same-sex relationships in our society. \u00a0It took me a few months to accept it. \u00a0But now I do.<\/p>\n

Here in Hawaii, it’s illegal for companies to turn down same-sex weddings. \u00a0 I don’t think that was the right decision for the government to make.<\/p>\n

If same-sex marriage is the norm, should it be part of sexual education in schools?
\n<\/strong>There should be zero sex-ed in schools. \u00a0Many kids these days can’t construct a simple paragraph utilizing correct English grammar. \u00a0 Many can’t perform simple arithmetic without a calculator. Thanks to the internet, they know way more about sex than they need too. \u00a0 Our schools need to teach our kids a plethora of skills. \u00a0That and patriotism. \u00a0 That’s it.<\/p>\n

Where are all your same-sex couples on your site?
\n<\/strong>Many are still in closet, families don’t know. So I don’t post them on my site. \u00a0One day, hopefully soon, a couple will come forward so I can proudly post their pictures on my site.<\/p>\n

Do you find same-sex relationships gross?
\n<\/strong>No.<\/p>\n

What relationships are gross to you? \u00a0If any?
\n<\/strong>Incest, relationships with inanimate objects, relationships with animals. \u00a0Did you hear about that animal photographer who fell in “love” with a dolphin? \u00a0Children weddings are gross and a no-no too.<\/p>\n

Do you believe same-sex couples are born gay?
\n<\/strong>There was an interesting study done on identical twins where one came out straight, the other gay. Both twins had exactly the same DNA. \u00a0What it proved, in theory, that we as humans choose whom we are attracted to, and that we were not born that way. \u00a0So this could mean the argument of same-sex marriage should be protected under our 1st Amendment of the Constitution, our Freedom of Speech, as it is a clear choice to an individual.<\/p>\n

Then there are times, I swear, in High School, that I had a few classmates who had girlfriends, but their speech and mannerisms were clearly feminine. \u00a0 They came out of the closet later. In that case, I think they were born that way, but I can’t prove that.<\/p>\n

Do you think Same-Sex couples make good parents?<\/strong>
\nBeing a good parent has nothing to do with ones sexuality.<\/p>\n

Do you believe same-sex parents will raise kids to be gay?<\/strong>
\nPossibly, but who knows. \u00a0Some kids may be influenced, some won’t. \u00a0And their sexual identity has nothing to do on how well they will contribute to society.<\/p>\n

Anything you want to add to tell your customers?
\n<\/strong>There’s only one type of customer who I discriminate against. \u00a0Those who skip out on paying the bill.<\/p>\n

Well, thanks for letting me interview you sort of. \u00a0You promise not to let my identity go free on your website.
\n<\/strong>Thanks. \u00a0I’m sure it was interesting for my customers to peek into my brain.<\/p>\n
