OK... NO or Yes On Prop 8
Why must is be that same sex are the ones to get "unions"... It's should be EQUAL. So if marriage is to remain something religious, they take it out of the legal stand point and replace it with Unions, for both gay and hetero couples.

If I'm wrong, I'll readily admit it.
If a homosexual couple wish to form a union/marriage, in order to receive the same governmental protection/benefits/etc as heterosexual couples, then the laws need to be changed to accommodate homosexuals.
I'm not arguing that homosexuals should or should not have the "right" to get married.
I am arguing that since marriage is not a right, the government, and by extension the people, have a right to limit who can and can not get married.
I have mentioned polygamy several times since there are laws in place that prohibit polygamous marriages.
If one type of marriage is allowed, then all types of marriages must be allowed.
Is this something you really want?

My point is both sides of the argument are reasonable.
What if there was a pill that cured being gay? Even if one refused to take it in order to maintain his or her lifestyle, they should still possess the same exact rights as every human being. I'll agree with this being the patriot I consider myself to be.
On the other hand...
What if one is too short to ride the fastest roller coasted in the world. **** second place he wants to ride the biggest and baddest of them all! But he'll will be damned because Mom was a dwarf. Now he'll never be able to have to share what others have. Should we accommodate him? Is is his right for us to bow to his wants and build a new coaster even if he was born with it? I don't think so.

Marriage has become a legal deal in the US and in CA...

The problem with Prop 8 is that it won't change things in CA. Right now, homosexuals can get 'married', but it's not recognized at the Federal level. If this proposition passes, homosexuals can enter in to a Domestic Partnership, which as of 2005 when the new law was enacted, gives same-sex couples ALL of the same rights as married couples. It still won't be recognized Federally. The only difference will be that same-sex couples aren't 'married'. Prop 8 is stupid and a waste of time and money.
