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?

mmk JC, cuz it was really that funny...


of course people want to try and rationalize being gay as being a natural thing, even though 25 years ago being gay was in the text books as deviant behavior. i have a first hand source on that because my mother studied psychiatric medicine.

i dont understand how come gay people want so many "rights" or whatever, when their lifestyle is just that- a lifestyle. a behavior, a personality trait.

If your rights as a human being was taken away because your a female wouldn't you fight for it?
the rights of people who are homosexual are taken away or violated because of who they decide to sleep with.

they can't change the fact that they are gay. Just like the women who fought for their rights, they just so happen to not have a penis and men felt they didn't need to work, or have the rights that they did.

African Americans wanted more rights, women wanted more rights, now gays do. They all obviously felt that because of who they were the rights they deserve weren't given to them.
