The Prop 8 issue is turning ugly here. I fear it will not pass. They say that we are lying when we say that it will affect school children....but look at the news with that KINDERGARTEN class having gay day- with parents not even knowing about it until it was too late! That is WRONG! They are running deceptive ads, yes on 8 is running truthful ones....but people could care less about the truth. Frankly, and I am just going to say this....how many gay people in CA have kids? Why in the world do they get to make decisions that affect our children? It WILL have an impact on the schools. They KNOW it. They want to redefine marriage, and fill the minds of kids who can't even read yet the knowledge of gay vs straight. It is stupid. Destroy childhood innocence so that gays feel more accepted. It is garbage. Yes, I am angry.

Proposition 8 people are saying it's passed...
...the fuckers can go die in a fire.
We should have the right to get a marriage license, all we're asking here. A civil union license =/= marriage license. More legal rights in a marriage license, plain and simple.
>>but look at the news with that KINDERGARTEN class having gay day- with parents not even knowing about it until it was too late!<<
False. It was the parents' idea in the first place. Two kids were left at the school with another class because their parents didn't want them involved.
>>Destroy childhood innocence...<<
Like telling children that if they aren't good, the Sky Father (who is always watching, all the time) will burn you forever?
ok, I am pissed off at this you freaking bigots had your little brain damaged crotch fruit with you the whole time you pushed for this bigoted and discriminatory law, your problem is that it may reguire that instead of hate your kids might learn tolerance as I was taught and for most my life lived by in regards to your insane freaking death cult. As it stands now after this election *I* will at every chance I get vote away your priviledges cause as soon as you allowed voting on them none of us had rights
Well since Cali has an equal protection law, they either have to get rid of Prop 8 or start banning straight marriage too.
Or get rid of equal protection. I say make your choice, Cali.
Well, you'll be pleased to know that Prop 8 passed, then. Congratulations on destroying thousands of marriages and ripping apart the families you claim to protect. I hope every single one of your own marriages ends in ugly, bitter divorce, you hateful, fear-mongering bigots.
I'm now waiting on the California Supreme Court to overturn this horribly unjust amendment. Come on, sirs and ma'ams. Don't let us down.
The only winners in this one will be the California lawyers that will make a fortune fighting this all the way to the Supreme Court. I say send the fundies the bill.
In the meantime, come to Canada to get married. British Columbia isn't far from California, and it's gorgeous for a honeymoon, what with all them mountains.
The wife and I had ours there 22 years ago. Loved it.
how many gay people in CA have kids?
I've heard estimates as high as 30% of them, although that seems high.
What is this childhood innocence that fundies are always prattling on about?
Actually Seemomgonuts there is a little malapropism at the end there. You used the word "angry" instead of "a bigoted turd".
@ Grigadil: I'd sign that petition!
Yes, allowing gays to get married will traumatize children irreparably. I'm sure you have studies to back these wild allegations up...right?
@Grigadil
I got one better...I'd suggest a petition to ban straight marriage. I mean you can't go anywhere without seeing all those straight couples getting all lovey dovey with each other...hell, it's not exactly rare to see some of 'em needing a room bad...would you want your children exposed to such flagrant displays of sexuality?
See, I can play the "think of the children" card too. :p
I literally wanted to vomit when Prop 8 was passed. Absolutely disgusting. Discriminating against and taking rights away from homosexual people is approximately 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%
more "immoral", "evil" and "wrong" than love between consenting adults could ever be.
I'm straight and I find it an outrage also because of the obviously totally fabricated bullshit propaganda campaign. What really causes more damage to kids is divorce, not some completely unrelated persons getting married, they don't take care of your kids and the school do NOT teach people to be gay (they're not allowed to).
We should get rid of divorce, or marriage alltogether. Polygamy is the way to go, but that's illegal in most places, too.
- with parents not even knowing about it until it was too late! That is WRONG!
Yes, it is indeed entirely incorrect.
As opposed to destroying childhood innocence by having your kids bully them for being the children of gay parents, tearing their families apart, thus returning them to the foster homes that they were so glad to escape, and screeching to them about how evil their loving parents are?
You are nuts, you idiotic, self-righteous, bigot. And so are the hundreds of selfish voters who voted for Prop. 8.
Destroy childhood innocence so that gays feel more accepted. It is garbage. Yes, I am angry.
You know, a great deal of society's problems can probably be attributed to idiot religious simpletons, like yourself, remaining childishly naive and ignorant well into adult life. Childhood innocence may have its virtues, but it can cause real damage if it persists too long. I've long held that much of religion is simply a way for adults to try and remain children (fuck, now that I think of it, Jesus practically admits this!), with all the problems one might expect of a child trying to deal with an adult reality - bewilderment with and fear of sexuality, egocentrism and a tendency to squabble, just-world fallacies and denial of unpleasant reality, magical thought, inability to exert rational control over emotion and instinctive urges, refusal to take responsibility for one's actions... Basically, if you want to understand religion, get a book on handling toddlers.
Once again, how does gay marriage damage you, your kids, or you marriage? If it does affect your marriage, you were having problems already. Maybe you're just afraid that if one of your kids turns out to be gay, they won't feel obligated to marry someone of the opposite sex just so your family line can continue.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
