Yes on Prop 8

Ok, I don't want to sound like a religious fanatic or one who hates gay people. I don't. But for me it is a moral issue that when I'm asked if gay people should be allowed to marry, I'll "tolerate" their gay life style even though I don't agree with it, but when I'm asked about supporting the putting in place of a moral law, I have to go with what I believe is moral.

Some people say that we can't legislate morality...How stupid is that? That's all we ever legislate! If we wouldn't legislate morality, we couldn't have laws against murder, rape, theft etc. - all of which are moral laws - Can you imagine the mess we would be in right now if we couldn't legislate moral laws?

Now, after the elections, I'm seeing people protesting in the streets over Proposition 8 being passed. This is so stupid! California voted, and it passed - get over it! Obama won the presidency and there's about 38 million people out there who didn't vote for him. Should they go out into the streets and protest too now?

Others argue that gay marriage is a civil right and compare it to the civil rights movement back when african-americans wanted to be treated equally. How is being gay a civil right, like being african-american? Is there now suddenly a gay race? This is not a civil issue, it's a moral issue... And 52 percent of Californians believe that it is not moral for gay couples to get married. Get over it. Heck, there's people out there that believe that being gay is not moral and if 52 percent of Californians thought that way, it would be illegal to be gay in this state since Wednesday...be happy with what you have!
