Why YES on Proposition 8?
First of all, if you have no idea what Proposition 8 it, it's a bill that is being voted on in California.It will place into the California Constitution these words, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California." This was already passed by 61% of Californians (about 4 million people) as Proposition 22 and then, outrageously, overturned by four Supreme Court Judges.As much as I'd like to write out a lengthy, involved reason on why I think Proposition 8 should be passed, it's really not that complicated. I live my life by the Word of God (the Bible). The Bible clearly states that marriage is between a man and a woman and anything apart from that is sin.It's not a question of liking or disliking homosexuals (I like them), but a matter of disagreeing with that lifestyle (the Bible calls it sin, although no different from gossip, lying, etc..) and protecting marriage as a God-ordained, not man made, institution.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have had several kind, fun, and thoughtful friends who are gay. However, Prop 8 has nothing to do with homophobia or hate. This youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-GjWY-WlA has a great explanation that spells it out "In Plain English". Vote YES on Prop 8!
You know, if we don’t win this fight to pass proposition 8 and other like minded legislation, changes will come like dominoes across the nation. Massachusetts, California, Connecticut...if we’re going to stand up, now is the time. Marriage is the fundamental building block of our society, changes to it’s definition will create ripples of change reaching every corner of our lives over time. This is not a small issue.
Thanks for spreading the word.
The thing that bothers me about this whole issue is the effect it will inevitably have on our children. Our children are the things most precious to us. It’s completely terrifying that they would want this kind of confusion in the schools.
The more I look at it the clearer it becomes, gay rights activists have an agenda. They say that gayness is not a choice, that it’s genetically driven, so we shouldn’t deny them their lifestyle and we’re discriminating if we do. But the statistics show that children raised in a gay environment are much more likely to choose the gay lifestyle themselves.
While there may be some genetic component, the consensus is that it is most likely a combination of genetics and societal influence. For instance, one of our high schools is having a rash of homosexual type experimentation because it’s become the edge thing to do.
That has everything to do with environment and nothing to do with genetics. That a school would choose to immerse the future generations with this kind of crosstalk and confusion is unfathomable.
