Sadly what I got from people who were against gay marriage on mainstream boards is that they think legalizing gay marriage will result in kids being taught it in school or something. They think gay people are out to turn kids gay or something retarded like that.

Really comes down to whether you beleive being gay is nature or nurture... its sad that people think the latter.

Proposition 8 Protest Rally & Street Closures
Wednesday, November 5th

As deeply disappointed as we all are that California voters passed Proposition 8, we must not allow that disappointment to linger. This vote is a temporary defeat in the long march toward equal rights for all citizens in America.

Please join me for a protest rally tonight at 7 pm on San Vicente Blvd between West Hollywood Park and the Pacific Design Center (647 N. San Vicente Blvd. West Hollywood CA 90069) as we move forward towards restoring equality for all in California.

San Vicente Blvd, between Santa Monica Blvd and Melrose Avenue will be closed tonight starting at 6 pm. San Vicente south-bound traffic will be directed to make left or right at Santa Monica Blvd. Signs have already been posted to help divert traffic.

There should be a ban on all marriage.

While we're at lets ban single mothers too. fuck the kids :(

Some good news http://www.mercurynews.com/elections...nclick_check=1

this link wont load for me.

Civil rights groups moved quickly today to challenge Proposition 8, asking the California Supreme Court to strike down the latest attempt to ban same-sex marriage across the state.

While refusing to concede that the ballot measure has passed, gay marriage supporters nevertheless filed a petition with the state's high court in the event the current vote holds and Proposition 8 amends the California constitution to once again outlaw marriage for gay and lesbian couples.

San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera also filed an identical legal challenge in the state Supreme Court, joined by Santa Clara County and the Los Angeles city attorney. San Francisco city officials, who pushed to overturn California's gay

marriage laws in the previous court fight, argue that Proposition 8 violates the equal protection rights of gay and lesbian couples.

Backers of the measure claimed victory Tuesday night with the initiative leading by a 52 to 48 percent margin.

The legal challenge maintains that Proposition 8 is invalid and takes away a "fundamental right'' from "just one group — lesbian and gay Californians.'' The petition argues that the state constitution cannot be amended if it violates other constitutional rights.

The state Supreme Court this spring struck down California's previous laws banning gay marriage, finding that they violated the state constitution. That 4-3 ruling set in motion the political firestorm over Proposition

8, which was designed to trump the Supreme Court's decision.

Marriage is fine. Pointing to the divorce rate as a reason not to get married is like pointing to the small business failure rate which is much higher and saying "why would you want to start a business"?

Been married for a while now, nothing wrong with it. If you approach it with a modicum of intelligence and not marry the drunk crack whore you've only known for 3 months as a fuck buddy then it's not really an issue. If you've lived with someone for a couple of years a bit of paper doesn't change the situation.

Truer words have not been spoken. :thumbsup

fitty fags fighting for freedom

I have never been more disappointed and embarrassed to be a California native. I understand Arizona and Florida..but come on California, what the fuck?

I thought people love America 'cause of freedom and all that bullshit. Guess no one believes in the 14th Amendment, or has an extremely peculiar definition of "equal":

The commercials they were running for proposition 8, depicting children as "learning" to be gay really made me sick to my stomach. When you start using kids to sway voters, you are crossing a line that only true bottom feeders would. Fucking scum bags.

I really don't understand how making your personal relationship legally binding equals "freedom". Seems quite the opposite to me.

The freedom to have the same rights as everyone else in the land. Seems so obvious now, but we did have to overcome slavery, and women not being able to vote. This too shall pass.

Im so disappointed in my fellow Californians. I honestly did not expect this to pass. :mad:

This is just a sad news. Why not be a pro-choice on this just like Obama.

Why not polygamy? Civil unions seem like a fine idea to me. If i were gay I'd be quite fine with that, and knowing that I am living in a country that doesn't hang me or view me as a complete degenerate I'd be willing to accept the social norms of marriage as they are.

I'm personally all for multiple women wanting and servicing me... :thumbsup:thumbsup

me just found out a girlfriend i had a few years ago just got married with an other woman

what a surpriseee

Hey Holly! I saw you on KTVU Channel 2 news this morning. Nice job. *hugs*

I could hear the protests all night from my windows. It was rad hearing all the screaming and horns blowing for a great cause. I would even get texts from friends marching telling me they were walking by my house.

It's so upsetting that people can be so easily swayed at the mention of "protecting our children." I don't remember learning anything in school about the subject of marriage at all - but I certainly remember learning about equal rights and tolerance.

Teaching children (by banning gay marriage) that gays should not have equal rights as everyone else, then also teaching them to treat them equally and tolerantly is hypocritical and confusing.

I'm very disappointed that parents in Cali bought into the bullshit and could be so ignorant as to teach their kids to discriminate. It's really sad:(:(:(

actually it all unmarried couples

you can blame obama
the religious right targeted black and hispanic votes who voted would have normally stayed home but came to the polls to support obama, even though their views were normally conservative.

i haven't seen the law but does it also ban civil unions because if it doesn't such a ban is a true balance between a homosexual couple right to be in a committed union and the right for religious groups not to forced to reject their biblical teaching.

forcing gay marriage on those relgious individual would be the same as forcing jews to eat pork.

Getting married is the best thing I ever did.
