Seriously does anyone really read what is involved in a proposition before they post there un-educated comments. This isnt just about gay marriage. I don't have a problem if people want to be gay. But don't think if your gay, you have the right ti infringe on my constitutional rights. That gay bashing line is just what the anti-religious liberal left wants you to think. I will be voting yes on prop 8. And here are the reasons why.
1. Children in public schools will have to be taught that same-sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage.
I don't think that public or private schools should be forced to teach something that they don't believe is fundamentally appropriate. I also don't want the schools teaching my children something I don't agree with.
2.Churches may be sued over their tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies.
Yes the church will have to follow the laws of the state of California. Not only has the state taken away your right to speak on any type of religious excerpt at work, now they are going to come into the church and tell the church what they have to teach and accept.
3. Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines.
More state control of what the church has to say!
I understand what people are saying about ohh the bible says this and that so it should be wrong. This is so much more than allowing people to accept gay marriage. First and foremost, marriage was a religious creation and design. Only in the recent past has the state created a position of justice of the peace to perform marriage ceremonies to wed people. Prop 8 is a way to stop the all out assault on the church. I don't understand why people are so against the one organization that gives more to the community than any other organization in the world. Its amazing that the leaders that are pushing so hard for this prop to fail and freedom of speech, are the same ones that are actually infringing on my first amendment right to the freedom of religion. Think about what its going to be like in 20 years when you have kids and you don't have the right to teach them any of your core values and beliefs if they don't go hand in hand with the beliefs of the state. The creation of the civil union has provided gays and lesbians with all the fundamental rights of any one else married. I think the real question here is "do you think its ok for for the state to tell you how to live your life and what to believe in!" If yes then please vote no on 8
