As a combat retired serviceman I have fought to preserve the freedoms of all Americans. However, in some cases, people in the name of freedom use it to advance their own perversions. Pornography, child molestation, and gay/lesbians are some of these perversions. Their opponents say let them choose their own way of life we shouldn’t interfere. But eventually our society will decay to a state where our quality of life suffers. And no, I don’t feel threatened or fear gays/lesbians, I have friends and family that are both. But, that doesn’t make it right.

This debate gets more and more ridiculous; let people live their lives and concentrate on living your own. Otherwise, try and have a laugh about it, like these guys:

jc,
People get married for many reasons besides having children. Many are past the child baring age. Many do not like children but love each other. Procreation is not the only reason to get married.
There are many couples that are terrible abusive parents and should never of had children in the first place. Thank God there are people who realize their limitations and choose not to procreate.

The recent election has left me feeling many emotions. I have felt anger, sadness and joy. Obama won, so I feel hope and joy.
I am angry because a certain segment of our population feels that they have the right to impose their religious dogma on the rest of the population. This is a prime example as to why there needs to me a firm seperation between religion and government.
From what I understand these biggots are using segments in the Bible to back up their hateful behavior. This makes it very clear to me that the Bible has no value for me nor is it a book I will ever read.
The really sad part is that I know that some of these biggots are my neighbors, my co-workers, and possibly my friends. I do not want to know who they are. If I do, I can never look at them in the same way again. I will always remember that they think it ok to treat others in a way that is less than equal as a human being and less than as a citzen of this country.

Ek, what you posted is almost identical to many things I’ve posted on other boards…and very true. No religious ceremony should convey an legal rights. That includes marriage.

In responds to Monroe’s comments , if you were a true Christian you would remember that the word is God and God made marriage between a man and a woman, Don’t you think that God would get upset if you keep breaking his laws and ways, he would take away his grace and protection , if some you love keeps hurting by doing the things that you told not to do eventually you would get tired of giving them chances and you would leave the relationship, do you think God would allow everybody to keep on sinning and then go to heaven?? Yes JESUS CHRIST died on the cross , he paid the price for all us, we have a chose to make, either go our own way or drop everything and go with the Lord Jesus Christ God. God would have to apologize for Sodom & Gomorrah, and the other disaster that happen when we walk away from the word, Christ hates the sin not the sinner , I am not prefect and I trust JESUS CHRIST, let the sin go move to Jesus Christ. You still have rights as a human being

I can’t believe that such ignorance still exists today. I am appalled by some of these close-minded comments. Religion is the great divider and in this day and age, very un-necessary. Brainwashing at it’s best. Dignan and Jake said it best… using facts to support their stance. Where do the hypocrites get their so-called facts? Some old out-dated book written by man to control other men, women, etc… They’ll never learn with their minds closed to the real truths out there. The ones based on science, history, and nature. The prop won’t stick… it’s illegal… was illegal to even be included since the Legislature can only add props to ballots.

I’ll keep this short because this is a dumb subject kept alive by biggots.

**** IF your were for prop 8, then read this please *****

Gay marrige is not = to polygamy
Gay marrige is not = incest
Gay marrige is not = beastiality
Gay marrige is not = Any other wild relationship you can think of.

Gay marrige is common and is a healthy union that is socialy acceptable and also conductive to a nuturing home. Expand the term marriages and then allow for distinction with phrases such as homsexual or hetero sexual merriages and afford them all the same rights and responsabilities as is demanded by any society that claims to be just and free.

Society is not asking to recognizing polygamy, incest, or beastiality. Some change in tolerance does not mean a complete change in tolerance.

I’m just blown away by peoples logic that since we shoulden’t allow incest that it means we shoulden’t allow gay marrigages?

Go meet a few gay couples, and then a few incestuel couples and learn the difference please before you vote to commit any more crimes against your neighbors.
