(no subject)
I think when it comes to this election, as important as selecting a presidential candidate is, so is spending a lot of time focusing on our state's propositions. I've been trying really, really hard to fully read and understand each one in time for November 4.
One that has a lot of attention right now, and specifically my attention, is Proposition 8. In a nutshell, voting YES on Prop. 8 restores the term of "marriage" within our states laws to require a man and a woman. Currently, gay and lesbian couples can marry after 4 supreme court judges found that denying same sex couples the ability to marry was unconstitutional. Voting NO on Prop. 8 will keep the current system of equality within marriage in California.
It seems to be a pretty sensitive subject for a lot of people. My neighborhood is littered with signs for and against Prop. 8. I've been trying to get some feedback from some of my friends, co-workers, and students in my classes and so far it is always divided by ONE factor: Religion.
I really want to find someone who is planning on voting "Yes" on Prop. 8 that wont give me a reason why that I've already heard. I think this is a pretty interesting Proposition and I think it might be the topic of an upcoming paper I will write.
So please give me your opinion: What do YOU believe is right? Will you vote "Yes" or "No"?
