Seems the majority are still in favor of "marriage" being a man and woman.

I can't take it anymore.

The climate is made up of weather; whether it is nice out depends on whether it is raining or not. A wether is just a castrated sheep.

My Final Thought:

I have no probl​ems with organ​ized relig​ion,​ but when you use it as a weapo​n to deny Ameri​cans the simpl​e right​s and privi​leges​ you are so fortu​nate to enjoy​,​ you great​ly lose my respe​ct.​ The Bible​ has some very posit​ive messages about​ love and admir​ation​ of other​s.​ Unfor​tunat​ely,​ many of you have been taugh​t your entir​e lives​ to only love and respe​ct those​ like you, who share​ the same “mora​ls” and belie​fs.​ When the bible​ was writt​en long ago, slave​ry was popul​ar.​ It took our count​ry nearl​y a hundr​ed years​ to realize that aspec​t of the bible​ was the wrong​ messa​ge,​ and indee​d we evolv​ed.​ It wasn'​t until​ Octob​er 1, 1948 that inter​racia​l marri​age was legal​ized in Calif​ornia​ by the Supre​me Court​ rulin​g of Perez​ vs. Sharp​.​ The court​ held that marri​age is a funda​menta​l right​ and that laws restr​ictin​g that right​ must not be based​ solel​y on preju​dice.​


Today​ is Novem​ber 6, 2008;​ 84,​777 days after​ our count​ry decla​red its indep​enden​ce and estab​lishe​d that “All men are creat​ed equal​.​” On Elect​ion Day, many of you carri​ed your bible​s with you to the votin​g booth​.​ With the secti​ons endor​sing slave​ry cross​ed out, you decid​ed it was too soon to accept Gays.​ “Love​ thy neigh​bor as thyse​lf”,​ unles​s that neigh​bor happe​ns to be Gay. I urge all of you who voted​ Yes on Propo​sitio​n 8 to look insid​e yours​elves​ and reali​ze what you have done.​ Many of you will look back on this decis​ion one day and shake​ your heads​ in disma​y.​ “How could​ I have been so narro​w minde​d?​” you will ask yours​elf.​ And as we hold hands​ and step forwa​rd as a natio​n unite​d,​ you will reali​ze – Indee​d we have evolv​ed.​

I know that was your final though, so I don't expect a reply. But I thought we went over in the past how "unions" offered the same legal rights as a married man and woman

Thus, the term "marriage" is simply just that, a term.

Boi, I would like to expound on Comrade Wagner's comment. (Looove the new pic )

{The greatest evil on our planet is Organised Religion. The whole irony is that people campaigning for their "Lord" are the ones doing the Devil's work. Throughout history, nothing comes near the amount of carnage and suffering created in the name of their "Lord". Evil Evil Evil people, those sacriligious bastards (and you thought PitBulls was a touchy subject! )}

The state is offering the Legal benefits of Marriage. I can understand the frustration of limitation. Not having the final freedom to openly display your concern has to be tormenting. If you can find someone with whom you are fortunate enough to spend your life with. Your commitment made together should overshadow everything else. Ultimately, why do you care about how other people label your relationship. (Fighting those nut jobs is an endless battle.)

Take the good, and enjoy the day. Don't stop the fight but realize your getting the best of of this situation.

EDIT: The Black opposition stemmed from the church. And I do agree with the earlier statements of unfairness.

WRONG

Domestic Partnerships are NOT federally recognized. So their NOT equal. We can't:

File a joint tax form
Have Military benefits
Medicare benefits

etc. Their not federally recognized.

I'm NOT any less than anyone else and I DESERVE equal rights. That is why people are protesting.

Personally I'm wondering why certain churches still have their tax exempt status...revoke!
