If a child is happy with two mothers or two fathers, who the hell are you to tell that child that it’s wrong by relegating their parents’ relationship to second-class status in the eyes of the law? The LAW. It’s not about your God, it’s about equality under THE LAW. Now spell that with me: L.A.W. Laaawww. Good girl. An extra Bible story for you tonight!

No one "hates" gays. The "YES on 8" position isn't about stripping gays of any of their rights. This issue, YES on 8, is about RESTORING was has been traditionally known as "marriage," namely one man and one woman. According to many studies, the BEST situation for a child is to be in a loving and stable home with their father and mother. Children learn different things from a mother and different things from a father. To be truely complete, children need to learn from BOTH. Two mother's and/or two father's CAN'T give the child what they truely need. Again, I am most concerned with the children. Some families have problems and are broken. Why should we give up? Why isn't the goal to help these broken families? The CA judges decision for gay marriage was 4 to 3. Ultimately, it was ONE person's opinion and/or interpretation of the Constitution that led to the change in the law. I would neither call that resounding support for the change, nor would I call it resonable for the rest of society to be unquestioning of it's validity. I disagee with the four judges and agree the THREE dissenting judges. Marriage is an historical institution and has value in society. Whether or not a person is religious, it has always been recognized that marriage is between a man and a woman. No one is taking away ANY rights from the gay community by supporting YES on 8, the gay community ALREADY has equality through the law CA. As a matter of fact, last year, CA allowed Registered Domestic Partners to file a Joint tax return. Just like a married couple! This WILL NOT CHANGE. For your further information, heterosexual couples have to be 62 or older to qualify. Gay RDP actually have MORE rights than heterosexual couples. VOTE YES ON 8!!!!!!!!!
