Same-sex marriage or our lives?

   I woke up to the news of same-sex marriage being legalized in all the 50 states of the United States of America. Yayyy!!!!! Congratulations to everyone that is going to be affected by this new declaration in a positive way.
But people,truth be told, is this really what we should be concerned about? Is this what the government is supposed to be focusing on? 

   Wait, let me understand something, since the government has finally decided to legalize this,what of the nine lives that were lost at Charleston,Emmanuel church shooting? What of the family members of the victims that were taken away from them?What of us that are living in fear of being victims of circumstance? and most important, what of Dylann Roof? What are they (government) saying about the situation? Are you all not wondering why we not hearing anything about the case?
   That aside, what of gun control and police brutality? It has been years since the government has been going back and forth about gun control and police brutality but nothing has been done about the situation. Do not get me wrong, I am excited for the LGBT community but truthfully, I really do not care about the government legalizing same-sex marriage and it is not because of I am in support or against homosexuality. I do not care about it because it is not going to affect me anyway and generally,it is not important to the people of this nation as at now. For instance, let us say as same-sex marriage has been legalized then you choose to go get married to your partner,after the ceremony,you coming out of the court or church and one of you gets struck by a stray bullet,what are you going to say? Who are you going to blame?Yea, that is just one scenario out of a zillion that are most likely to happen as long as the government refuses to focus on important situations like gun control and police brutality. We need help because we obviously do not know how to set our priorities straight. Call me crazy, I believe to enjoy things of the world, we need our lives that is we need to be alive. But when we do not which maniac is about to go on a gun shooting spree or if trying to give my neighbor a parking ticket and he gets shot on the chest by the police, this legalizing of same-sex marriage is useless.
