Oeditpus Rex (1000+ posts) Thu Jul-17-08 05:21 PMOriginal messageBallot Argument Against Proposition 8 (California)This will appear in the voters guides that will be mailed in October. Just got it in the 'e' from Equality For All. It was written by Samuel and Julia Thoron. (Samuel is the former president of PFLAG.)
OUR CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION — the law of our land — SHOULD GUARANTEE THE SAME FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS TO EVERYONE — NO ONE group SHOULD be singled out to BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY.But it is perfectly ok with you to treat normality differently, right? You want to take away the rights of those who do not want to live in a society which condones homosexual "marriage". How are those peoples rights less important than the rights of the radical homosexual agenda? Either way, someone is going to lose, so why shouldn't it be the homosexuals? There are a lot fewer of them.In fact, our nation was founded on the principle that all people should be treated equally. EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW IS THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.Everyone of age walking around this great country of ours has the same rights. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. What you are wanting is for people to give up rights in order for your pet group to get special rights. I have just as much right to live in a country which defines marriage as it has been for the last 6000 years, as being between two people of the opposite sex, as you homo lovers have the right to try to change natural tradition. So expect a fight. That's what this election is about — equality, freedom and fairness, for all.No it's not. You are trying to confuse an issue so it can be misunderstood by as many people as possible. You do so because you know if you were honest, you'd lose for sure. Marriage is the institution that conveys dignity and respect to the lifetime commitment of any couple. PROPOSITION 8 WOULD DENY LESBIAN AND GAY COUPLES that same DIGNITY AND RESPECT.Marriage would no longer be an institution that conveys dignity and respect if it is cheapened to include two homos with the same sex organs trying to get each other off in order to fullfill their unnatural sexual disfunctions. Get real!That's why Proposition 8 is wrong for California.Proposition 8 would not be wrong anywhere. It protects the rights of the all citizens to live in a society that does not applaud the sickness of homosexuality.Regardless of how you feel about this issue, the freedom to marry is fundamental to our society, just like the freedoms of religion and speech. Now you are stretching the idea that marriages which start out on the promise that children are not possible is somehow fundamental to our society. Wrong, Bozo. Homos have been doing their thing in the shadows for centuries. Society has been just fine without them in the mainstream. Why risk changing it now? It could be a big mistake. We do not have to afford the chance. We don't need it. PROPOSITION 8 MANDATES ONE SET OF RULES FOR GAY AND LESBIAN COUPLES AND ANOTHER SET FOR EVERYONE ELSE. That's just not fair. OUR LAWS SHOULD TREAT EVERYONE EQUALLY.Our laws do treat everyone equally. It is the mental illness of homosexuality which is depriving a small segment of our population from taking advantage of the right to marry. The law is fair. The illness is not. That's life.In fact, the government has no business telling people who can and cannot get married. Just like government has no business telling us what to read, watch on TV or do in our private lives. We don't need Prop 8; we don't need more government in our lives.Blind people can't drive. What are you going to do about their fundamental right to drive? The government has no business telling blind people they cannot drive cars or fly airplanes!REGARDLESS OF HOW ANYONE FEELS ABOUT MARRIAGE FOR GAY AND LESBIAN COUPLES, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE SINGLED OUT FOR UNFAIR TREATMENT UNDER THE LAWS OF OUR STATE. Those committed and loving couples who want to accept the responsibility that comes with marriage should be treated like everyone else.You have said this same thing in about four different paragraphs. So, I'll repeat: EVERYONE IS SUBJECT TO THE SAME LAWS. Homosexuals are not special or above the laws of our society. Homosexuals need marriage like two left shoes need a shoebox.DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS are NOT MARRIAGE.JUST LIKE HOMO "MARRIAGE" CANNOT BE MARRIAGE EITHER. But it's as close as you homo agenda freaks need to get.When you're married and your spouse is sick or hurt, there is no confusion: you get into the ambulance or hospital room with no questions asked. IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS ARE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH. Only marriage provides the certainty and the security that people know they can count on in their times of greatest need.So all this is about getting into hospital rooms? Why don't we change the laws and policies governing hospital visits instead of revamping the institution of marriage? Problem solved. No need for homos to get married!!EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW IS A FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEE. Prop 8 separates one group of Californians from another and excludes them from enjoying the same rights as other loving couples. Another repeat? I'm too tired. See above.Forty-six years ago I married my college sweetheart, Julia. We raised three children — two boys and one girl. The boys are married, with children of their own. Our daughter, Liz, a lesbian, can now also be married — if she so chooses.Bless your heart. You are too ignorant to breath! Your daughter has had the "right" to marry ever since she became of age. It has been her choice not to take advantage of the "right" because she doesn't like the rules that nature dictates. No telling what kind of bullshit you have stuffed in her head. All we have ever wanted for our daughter is that she be treated with the same dignity and respect as her brothers — with the same freedoms and responsibilities as every other Californian.You want was fullfilled the day she was born. Now what you want is a rule change so you don't feel so lousy as a parent. I got your number, pal. You hate that your daughter is sexually confused and you want us to change everything so you can believe in yourself again. My wife and I never treated our children differently, we never loved them any differently and now the law doesn't treat them differently, either. I think you mean four California judges have tried to foist homo marriage onto the masses, and the masses aren't standing still for the it, and this craps your ass. Each of our children now has the same rights as the others, to choose the person to love, commit to and to marry.Dorothy had a chance to live in OZ, but when the shooting stopped, she was Judy Garland again. Don't be going and buying any property in Homo Marriage Oz. Don't take away the equality, freedom and fairness that everyone in California — straight, gay or lesbian — deserves.But you don't mind a bit taking away the rights of others, right?Please join us in voting NO on Prop 8.Nope. Sorry, Sam. Now go teach the blind to drive.

OUR CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION — the law of our land — SHOULD GUARANTEE THE SAME FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS TO EVERYONE — NO ONE group SHOULD be singled out to BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY.This sure isn't what they say when they're talking about Christians...who are supposed to have no right to free speech on public property, by their definition.In fact, our nation was founded on the principle that all people should be treated equally. EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW IS THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.That's what this election is about — equality, freedom and fairness, for all. Marriage is the institution that conveys dignity and respect to the lifetime commitment of any couple. PROPOSITION 8 WOULD DENY LESBIAN AND GAY COUPLES that same DIGNITY AND RESPECT.Like the dignity and respect denied to Christian adoption agencies, who must adopt against their principles or close? Like the dignity and respect denied to Christian organizations, who are forced to hire those who openly practice what is considered sin? Like the dignity and respect denied to owners of companies who are fined for refusing business that conflicts with their beliefs?That's why Proposition 8 is wrong for California.Regardless of how you feel about this issue, the freedom to marry is fundamental to our society, just like the freedoms of religion and speech. You are willing to grant freedom OF religion and speech...so long as those nutjobs keep it inside their churches, don't mention Christ's name within your hearing, remove any Ten Commandments monument or cross that you may actually see, and don't "interfere" in the political process of their country.PROPOSITION 8 MANDATES ONE SET OF RULES FOR GAY AND LESBIAN COUPLES AND ANOTHER SET FOR EVERYONE ELSE. That's just not fair. OUR LAWS SHOULD TREAT EVERYONE EQUALLY.In fact, the government has no business telling people who can and cannot get married. Just like government has no business telling us what to read, watch on TV or do in our private lives. We don't need Prop 8; we don't need more government in our lives.Unless, of course, that government is busy auditting the books of any religious group to see if they should be forced to pay up for using their "right to free speech" on their privaty property. Or if someone is building or farming on land that might have a toad or insect on it. Or if someone is cutting down mature trees in the forest. Or... or... or... REGARDLESS OF HOW ANYONE FEELS ABOUT MARRIAGE FOR GAY AND LESBIAN COUPLES, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE SINGLED OUT FOR UNFAIR TREATMENT UNDER THE LAWS OF OUR STATE. Those committed and loving couples who want to accept the responsibility that comes with marriage should be treated like everyone else.DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS are NOT MARRIAGE.When you're married and your spouse is sick or hurt, there is no confusion: you get into the ambulance or hospital room with no questions asked.

Our daughter, Liz, a lesbian, can now also be married — if she so chooses.All we have ever wanted for our daughter is that she be treated with the same dignity and respect as her brothers — with the same freedoms and responsibilities as every other Californian.Completely ignoring the fact that your daughter has always subject to exactly the same laws as everyone else, and has exactly the same freedoms as everyone else. What she did not have is the special favor of goverment, the special rights demanded by the minority.My wife and I never treated our children differently, we never loved them any differently and now the law doesn't treat them differently, either. Each of our children now has the same rights as the others, to choose the person to love, commit to and to marry.Don't take away the equality, freedom and fairness that everyone in California — straight, gay or lesbian — deserves.Please join us in voting NO on Prop 8.And be sure to flip off those ignorant, hateful Christian bigots when you see them in line to vote.
As always, hypocrisy reigns.

When you're married and your spouse is sick or hurt, there is no confusion: you get into the ambulance or hospital room with no questions asked. IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS ARE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH. Only marriage provides the certainty and the security that people know they can count on in their times of greatest need.
QuotePROPOSITION 8 MANDATES ONE SET OF RULES FOR GAY AND LESBIAN COUPLES AND ANOTHER SET FOR EVERYONE ELSE. That's just not fair. OUR LAWS SHOULD TREAT EVERYONE EQUALLY.No it doesn't. It mandates one set of rules by which everyone must abide: That marriage is a union between a man and a woman. It applies equally regardless of sexual perversion.QuoteWhen you're married and your spouse is sick or hurt, there is no confusion: you get into the ambulance or hospital room with no questions asked.

It can give you all the control and access you'll ever need in those situations.
