Gay Marriage challenge reaches California court…again.
You can find the news article here
Now, here is my issue with this. Proposition 8, the bill that clarified marriage is between one man, and one woman, passed by a significant margin. How did this happen you ask? Well, it happened the way it was suppose to happen, by a vote OF THE PEOPLE!
Of course this is never enough here in the People’s Republic of America (sad but this is where we are headed as our new Socialist leaders rip our Constitution to shreds).
Personally, I don’t care if they allow or ban gay marriage, my anger is not over whether it passed or failed, my anger is because we are pushing aside what THE PEOPLE voted for because some people (the homosexual activist movement) feels THEY are of a higher position and their views and desires are worth more, than the average heterosexual American.
Listen closely. YOU ARE WRONG! Enough already with fighting until you get your way by screaming “discrimination”. It makes you as ignorant as Jessie and Al screaming “racism” every time something doesn’t go the way they want it to. You are all coming across as quite arrogant, and I am sick of seeing our leaders pander to your ignorant blathering about what YOU demand YOU should have.
It was voted on. You lost. Period.
Now the argument (supposedly) is over the ability to see your ‘partner’ in the ICU at the hospital, being able to make health care decisions and such, this was the lead battle cry this time around. Let me educate you as to how you can have this ability without force feeding us your crap. Get a Healthcare Surrogate, a legal document giving you the ability to make these decisions, and it is 100% legal. You can get a Durable Power of Attorney if you want your ‘partner’ to be able to make decisions if you are incapacitated, or in the sad event of your passing.
Both of those are legal, binding documents that give you what you claim you are fighting for.
Now, the PEOPLE of California voted. The PEOPLE voted against what you wanted.
This government is suppose to be “Of the people, by the people, for the people”. You should stop trying to destroy our founding principles just to get your own personal way. Grow the heck up and stop your whining.

It is absurd to think that your vote truly does not count!
March 2, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Your vote will not count if it goes against any liberal/socialist/communist position. See, with the vote being so clear it let them know the MAJORITY of the citizens do not want to see it happen. This doesn’t matter to them, they want what THEY want and don’t care about due process.
If the vote had gone in their favor they would be SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER at any challenge raised.

If at first you don’t win in vote… change the constitution.
March 4, 2009 at 12:52 am
The problem I had with this law was that people were voting on rights of others. We have a Constitution with Bill of Rights to insure us that we are guarantee certain fundamental rights that can not be taken away.
As much as I am against gay-marriage I voted against this prop 8 because of principal.
March 4, 2009 at 12:42 pm
That is a fair point Fulcrum and one I have considered myself, but in over-turning the vote they have taken away rights of the other as well.
March 4, 2009 at 1:41 pm
I agree with Jeremy. Fulcrum I have considered it but seeing as how they do not have that right, it is not anywhere in our law or past, nothing has been taken from them. If they are allowed then we must include other things that will come down the pike such as marrying animals, what about groups that want children to be able to have sex at the age of 10, if they decide to come at it as allowing them to marry should we?
Of course that is the extreme example, but 20 years ago so was gay marriage.

To Jeremy, I don’t believe that this prop should have ever come up to a vote, because it was ruling over the rights of others, and in that sense I believe it as being unconstitutional. It would be like if the crime of “stealing” was up to a vote, just because the majority could legalize it doesn’t mean that their choice was the morally correct one.
The Bill of Rights in in place to protect the minority form the majority in the sense of personal rights and freedoms.
To RBuffordTJ
I believe that if a straight man is allowed to marry, then a homosexual should be granted the same rights.
No man/women straight or gay is allowed to marry an animal or have sex with underage children. Which I believe are absolute wrongs, not wrongs based on religion.
March 5, 2009 at 1:16 pm
But we are taking the stance that homosexuality is morally wrong, so it’s a matter of opinion based on morals.
March 10, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Also something that I have heard and I believe in as well, is the fact that if we do allow homosexual marriage legally, then what about churches and people who believe it is morally wrong, it could very well lead to prison-time for people decide to speak out against this were this a law. I mean I’m not saying it will happen, it’s just something that could very well become reality.
The biggest fact of all is, they voted whether or not to allow it and they lost, so honestly they need to sit down their time is up. Besides, there is nothing that allows us the constitution to keep them from being together they just want to be much like the civil rights movement, get incentives to marry just like straight folks.
Sigh…it’s not really about equality that they’re after, trust me.
