Surprised this never got mentioned here. CA's Prop 8, FL's amendment 2 and Arizona's prop 102, and the whole defining gay marriage. With election coming up pretty soon, Prop 8 has been a big issue.

The argument is that Prop 8, amendment 2 and prop 102 will define that marriage between a man and a woman will be the only legal kind of marriage in California for prop 8, Florida for amendment 2, and Arizona with prop 102.

Some people argue that it has nothing to do with gay rights, or about gays in general
yet mention that if it doesn't pass parental rights, and religious freedom gets taken away.

Others mention that it does (take away gay rights), If the law passes Same sex couples will not be able to
1. Marry the person they love.
2. Those who are already married will lose the rights that come with it.


There is also the argument that Marriage is about love regardless of gender (Love is Blind).
yet others strongly believe that marriage is a religious, spiritual union between a man and a women.

To start a discussion here are several questions
1. what do you feel will happen if these laws passes and soon spreads to other states?
2. What do you feel marriage is, and should the idea of same sex marriage be allowed?
3. What do you think will happen to the children whose parents happen to be both male or female, If these laws passes what do you think will happen to the children?

Does my public school teach me about the creation of the world by God's design or evolution? Evolution. Who even has a say about it? No one. In the same way, why should marraige be taught in such a liberal way, when the creation of earth itself is not?

I don't want MY little brother going on a field trip to a gay marraige. I don't want MY little brother being exposed to contraversial things as a young kid. I don't believe in gay marriage because I believe that those relationships are a sin in God's eyes. That is exactly what the Bible says.

Why does everyone INSIST upon going against nature?

You're not going to win this argument. Your ability to debate this issue is immensely flawed due to your personal beliefs. If you have your own reservations about same-sex partnerships, that's fine, and no one is going to shit on you about that. However, when you state your opinion, then shit on everyone else with such a self-righteous attitude, you leave yourself open to the backlash of those who posess the ability to think reasonably.

You say that same-sex partnerships are wrong, and that you don't agree with it due to your religious beliefs, but you provide no support to your opinions. In the end, you look like the ignorant douche. YOU become the prime example of 'what's wrong in America' because of that fact that you'd ignore human rights just to satisfy your religious beliefs.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with you holding an opposing stance, just present an argument that doesn't make you look like a fool. Would I want my child to be fed anything that merely suggests being a homosexual? Of course not. At the same time, I don't want my child using religion as an excuse to be ignorant. The biblical definition of marriage, unfortunately, is as flawed as your supporting argument, because the benefits involved with actually being married are beneficial to both parties involved.

So take a moment, gather your thoughts, do some research, and come back to this with an open mind and an unbiased stance; then make an attempt to tie in your beliefs.
