Outraged at Prop 8


"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

As a Californian, I'm especially outraged that Proposition 8 recently passed, banning same sex marriage. This is not only unconstitutional, it is a breach of human rights and human dignity.

How is it that a heterosexual couple can feel justified in ordering a member of the LGBTQ community to a life without love? "God made me straight and He made you gay, so I get to enjoy my sex and my love, but your challenge is to remain celibate for life." Yeah, that's not bigoted.

And IF homosexuality is a choice, what's wrong with that?

Gay couples are certainly not the downfall of the family. Divorce is. Gay parents will not be the downfall of their children. Abuse and neglect and bad parenting and divorce and intolerance will be.

Separation of church and state. I believe in that. If a religion does not want to recognize gay marriage as legit, whatevs, that's up to the sect. Don't marry them in your church. But making it illegal is breaching minority rights.

I believe in this life we each have a different path to happiness. If you find something that brings you a bit of happiness, follow it. It is right.
