i have never been so frustrated
i did not want to believe that there were so many ignorant, intolerant, close-minded Americans
the tragic thing is that most of them are just misinformed
gay marriage:
would NOT cause a higher spread of aids
would NOT make more people gay
would NOT affect your children negatively
i think it's funny that main arguments for it include the importance of family & the upbringing of their children-
i do not understand how raising your children in a world where some people are given privileges that others are denied is a world worth fighting for
WHY would you want your children to think that homosexuality is beneath heterosexuality?
WHAT IF your children are gay & have to live with this discrimination & hate?
& even if they are straight, you are teaching them that this discrimination is justified.
you would rather keep marriage to a man & woman, even though divorce rates are ridic- somewhere around 60% ?
you think that a single parent home is a better family environment than a two gay parent home?
children do not need a mother AND father to grow up well educated & loved,
they need parents, gay or straight, to support them
& to teach them to be accepting of others-
two women or two men are just as capable (if not more) to raise a family.
&besides children, who are you to tell someone else that they cannot be officially married to the person that they love?
yes they have domestic partnerships, but NO that is not enough.
why should they have to accept anything less than what other people receive?
IF YOU BELIEVE IN EQUALITY
then you MUST have voted no on 8
& you MUST sign the petition below...
'there is nothing worse than doing nothing'
so continue pursuing what is right- sign this petition to re-open prop 8 for california
