The attempt to ban same-sex marriage in California is as weird to me as the idea of butt sex, so I'm asking folks to please Vote NO ON PROP 8.
Churches can and should do whatever the hell (hahaha) they want.
People can and should believe in whatever they feel is right, and they should certainly vote their conscience.
That said:
If you don't like other people of the same sex, ok, fine.
Don't like butt sex...? Hey, neither do I!
Are you annoyed at the sight of two old women who look like guys riding a bike together, groping each others' bra-less, bouncy boobies while they talk about refusing to shave and what's on sale at Whole Foods? Me too!
But guess what:
That's no basis for law -- particularly for a law that bans people from sharing their weird lives together.
I just don't understand legally separating people who, in a genuine bond of love and compassion, decide to commit wholeheartedly to one another for the duration of their short time on this planet.
If you are into this cool new trend of voting based on an examination-of-the-facts, as opposed to mindlessly tallying-in opinions regurgitated from the chorus lines of our society's noxious hate songs, please read the following post a friend of mine put up earlier today:
Hey Folks,
This is a very important issue. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AND RE-POST IF YOU ARE, OR HAVE FRIENDS IN CALIFORNIA.
It's time to pull this country out of the stone age, and look ahead! Who else to help lead the way but California??
There are facts and fiction being circulated regarding Prop 8.
Read it for yourself if you must, but here is a quick overview:
========================================
Be Educated:
Here’s what’s fiction and what’s fact:
Fiction: People can be sued over personal beliefs
Fact: California’s laws already prohibits discrimination against anyone based on race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. This has nothing to do with marriage.
Fiction: Churches could lose their tax-exemption status.
Fact: Nothing in Prop 8 would force churches to do anything.
In fact, the court decision regarding marriage specifically says “no religion will be required to change its religious policies or practices with regard to same-sex couples, and no religious officiant will be required to solemnize a marriage in contravention of his or her religious beliefs
Fiction: Same-sex marriage would be taught in public schools
Fact: Not one word in Prop 8 mentions education, and no child can be forced, against the will of their parents, to be taught anything about health and family issues at school. California law prohibits it. A Sacramento Superior Court judge has already ruled that this claim by the proponents of Prop 8 is “false and misleading.
” In fact, the “case” that is cited in the ad is from Massachusetts…t
