CA Prop 8- Gay Marriage Ban
Asked Oct 31, 2008, 07:23 PM
—
68 Answers So this is very controversial in California right now, where I am from, and I was wondering what everyone thinks about the subject. People are being crazy over this prop right now. I am totally against banning gay marriage. I think that to say that it is a violation of rights and privileges to allow it is riduculous. I know it is against some religions and a lot of people are extremely against it, but how does it hurt you? This is not forcing churches to marry gays, it is not forcing teachers to teach it in schools (most people I have talked to say that they learned about marriage from their parents and not from their school and I am in college). So, really, how does it hurt you if you a gay couple gets married and you don't ever have to meet them or deal with them at all? I am asking because I have seen people go to disgusting lengths, on both sides of the issue, to make their point and I see no need for it. Those for the ban are saying its against their religion, well then don't pawn your religion off on those of us who don't want it! Not to mention people for the ban have said some truly sick things that I would rather not repeat. And recently at my school those against it made a swastika sign out of the Yes on Prop 8! Signs on campus, this is very sick. So why be so against it if it has nothing to do with you? And if you are for it that's fine, just don't do horrible things like what happened on my campus. |

| I don't live in California, but I also find intolerance is very repulsive. I think that banning gay marriage is Un-Constitutional. I don't know why people think they have the right to deny happiness to a person just because they are homosexual! I think people just fear what they don't understand, and they lash out in any way possible. | ||||

| Marriage: Between a Man and Woman. Period. I'm sure Geoffry Dahmer would be crying descrimination, if her were still alive, that killing and eating people should be legal.......I mean just because other people don't.............. Pedophiles, whining that it should be legal to.......... Simply using flawed reasoning and arguments will not change that. | ||||

| I don't see any connection between eating people and getting married. I have friends who got married, were declared unmarried by a california proposition. The first proposition was declared unconstitutional so they married again. Now are they still married or unmarried? They don't know. This is an unreasonable thing to do to people who are just minding their own business and trying to have a normal life. I don't understand why some people in heterosexual marriages think that gay marriage hurts them in any way. It's like saying gays can't eat the same foods as everyone else. If gays eat apple pie, that takes away the sanctity of apple pie? If you don't have any gay friends, you aren't even going to know about it... It's intrusive to legislate this kind of thing. What next? They can't buy houses or send their kids to public schools? I have yet to see a persuasive argument. And the hypocrisy of the Church of latter day saints promoting Prop 8 just leaves me speechless. How can they even think of presuming to tell other Americans what a normal marriage is? | ||||
