Yes on Prop 8. Rant
For those of you who dont know it yet, the state of California by 3% majority voted against same-sex marriages... You can agree or disagree, that's YOUR right! but what about the rights of the hundreds of thousands if not millions of people affected by this; not just those who are and want to be married, but the children they wanted to adopt, to ( Read more... )
i like both.. and some people think that that means i'm selfish, and cant make up my mind, but i say that i just know i have alot of love to give and when i'm lucky enough to fall in love, i wont care what their gender is
to take away the right to be married from so many people is devastating! i couldnt comprehend how a country that preaches equality, and goes so far as electing their first BLACK president and talking about change on a daily basis can be so hypocritical to want everything the same
they argue that its for the children, but this is a generational issue, more young people who werent afraid to come out are, or at least were now... and yes those hetero couples who dont want their kids or cant afford to have them, do the smart thing and put them up for adoption hopin a loving family would help them.. from the moment they do that, they have no right in the child's life, in who adopts them, and if an agency decides that a homo couple is just as capable as a hetero one.. then whats the issue? using 'the children' as an argument is just unforgiveable.. i'm glad that even tho you arent a homosexual that you can still see the effect it's having on so many people

I'm sure you know that it's not a phase. I don't understand that your parents still believe it's a phase. Do they take it seriously or do they make jokes about it too?
I think that if you like men and women, you really love a person because who he/she is. You love their personality, not (only) their looks.
Homosexuals can take care of children too. There is no difference between homosexual couples or hetero sexual couples! They both love their children and take care of them. By taking away marriage, you take away their happiness and their chance to have kids. It's unfair.
I've had many discussions about this before. Here in the Netherlands, homosexual people can marry. I'm a Christian and my family and some of my friends are too. None of them approves gay marriage. I tried to persuade them many times, but they just don't understand >__

my mom.. she doesnt say anything about it unless i'm talkin to my best friend.. she says homosexuality doesnt bother her, but yea i can tell by her mannerisms that she's uncomfortable with it, if not disgusted.. i think she's trying but its difficult for her
it's a generational thing.. the way they grew up tells them that this is wrong and denies thing kind of change

At least your mom is trying! That's a good start! She needs a little more time, I think, to get used to it. She will probably feel more comfortable with it in the future.
Their generation isn't used to homosexuals an bisexuals. They indeed learned that it's wrong and that's why it's a bit difficult for them to accept. Our generation is diffirent. Most people our age think it's not wrong at all. Give your parents a few weeks. They need some time to think about it.
