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?

We don't learn about marriage in public schools and we wouldn't learn about gay marriage either. Massachusetts is different than California. Our state constitutions are different. Look up the constitution yourself.

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 9 EDUCATION


SEC. 8. No public money shall ever be appropriated for the support
of any sectarian or denominational school, or any school not under
the exclusive control of the officers of the public schools; nor
shall any sectarian or denominational doctrine be taught, or
instruction thereon be permitted, directly or indirectly, in any of
the common schools of this State.

i like that people make it seem like they're trying to protect their future generations from "gay marriage" as if it's some sort of disease. look, it's not a choice, they're born gay & whether you like it or not, it's a reality. we don't live in a friggin utopia, wake up. there's a genocide going in darfur, the holocaust happened, there are homeless people, oh & MY GOD there are people who are gay. your kids & your little brother are going to learn about it EVENTUALLY.

Gays marrying each other cannot be compared to incest or 3 people marrying each other.
