I give God all the credit in my life for saving my moms life during her complicated kidney pancreas transplant (thin blood wouldnt clot, two heart attacks etc) keeping me safe riding my dirtbike (no broken bones) and putting the rigth people in front of me at the right time...

people who say "let them do waht they want. who cares if they get married."
are the type of people who let their friends drive drunk.

That analogy simply doesn't fly.

What is it about homosexuality that you find so disgusting/abhorrent to YOU personally? Is it the sexual acts? How often do you see them performing these acts publicly? Is it the way they dress? Of course you must be Mr. Blackwell, right? Is it a man kissing a man? If so, then you'd better never go to the Middle East where it is custom...



I wouldn't allow a friend to drive drunk, because it could potentially DIRECTLY AFFECT the life of either my friend or an innocent person who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Please enlighten me, because I'm failing to understand. How does the gay wedding I witnessed today, and the lesbian wedding I'm photographing tomorrow DIRECTLY AFFECT MY LIFE? Please, explain to us how these people who I've only met today are going to affect my life by their certificate of marriage? Does it mean that my marriage is going to be any less valid? Not in my eyes, not in the eyes of my wife, not in the purview of government...

Just because you don't agree with the (implied) actions that take up less than 2% of the total lifetime of an adult, done in private, behind closed doors, you choose to vote to remove rights from these people?

Cut it anyway you want. As of this moment, it is a right, and Prop 8 takes it away. You asked for a logical argument, and there it is.

Either way, I'm confident the general population of CA are better people than you and we'll end up with a no on 8.
I'd hardly call a 4-3 decision "landmark".
4 people overturned the will of millions of people.

"Better than you" sounds very condescending considering I have not stated my position on this matter.

Please, when you resort to personal attacks, your position looses credibility

Several people have mentioned "rights" being usurped by Prop 8.
What rights are you talking about?

There is no right to marriage.

Brain washing at its best. No question is ever answered directly. Lets try another analogy. If I decide that religion is wrong, can I take it away from you?

simply put

it was not long ago (50-60 years ago) that it was illegal for a "COLORED" (ie black, brown, yellow, pink) people to marry WHITES.

HmMmm..................(pondering)................ ................

I think that this was fair... Don't you think so? *sarcasm*

....cuz that's what the general public wanted....

... simple, because they (the gays and lesbians) are gay or lesbian, the more interactions you have with them, results in a burnt image into the back of your skull resulting in you becoming gay (or lesbian), and when you do, you are no longer like us... you no longer have a heartbeat, you become reptilian like, you will grow webbed feet, loose all your hair, and you will continue to spread the plaque.

We would have mixed black/white babies... wait, scratch that, that was in the 40s...we're way more modern now so... i mean gay/strait?... uMm... you know what i mean...mixed, tainted ... your babies will be mixed somehow and then the gene pool becomes tainted and we will have to burn everyone and start society over.

I say no. After almost 10 years with my partner. It'd be nice to be on the same playing field as everyone else.
