So, when we were in New York City, my wife and boy and I were sitting on a bench. We were on a subway platform waiting for the next train.
Then, my wife and boy slipped off the bench, and they just disappeared into the crowd. I couldn't do anything to stop them! When I looked to my other side, I realized I was sitting next to (*gasp*) a lesbian! I had heard rumors back then gays and lesbians could destroy families like that. I had no idea it would happen so abruptly. Fortunately, I was able to shoo away the vile lesbian with the pocket New Testament I keep handy for just such emergencies.
OH, COME ON!!
Florida passed Amendment 2: The Marriage Protection Amendment that states a marriage is between one man and one woman. California passed Proposition 8 saying the same thing.
Love is love is love. "It's the only thing there's just too little of." So, stop trying to stop it. Love is like spring, a hurricane, or, um, a god(dess). Why all the hate, Califlornida? And twenty-some-odd other miserable states.
Someone told me that homosexuals won't get into heaven. Well, who died and made you king/queen of heaven? It's not for YOU to judge, if I recall. Maybe some gays and lesbians (and me) don't want to go to your heaven anyhow. The music probably sucks. I hear Peng-lai is quite nice. And, we're not in heaven, folks, but in the land of the free.

I was sad to see this myself. I don't understand people sometimes.

No one said you could not love someone- it is just that marriage is defined as between one man and one woman.
Whatever you call it when two people profess their undying love for each other in front of all the world, so this couple can be treated, like all other couples who profess their undying love for each other, by their state and federal governments, especially issues concerning (but not limited to) insurance, tax, inheritance, and discrimination-free adoption practices. THAT'S what I meant.
If you define marriage as only a religious ceremony between two hicks who find their genitals conveniently splice, then that's NOT what I meant.
Sorry for any confusion my little tirade into the deep, seedy side of polarizing political policy produced.
I actually laughed out loud at the part with the New Testament.
Very nice.
I feel awful that Proposition 8 passed. Especially since, as a gay married person, I am exceptionally happy.
I really hope that it gets overturned again.
Only thing is...Amendment 2 in FL wasn't just about gays being able to marry. It was about people in domestic partnerships being able to have the same rights as legally married people. I am in a domestic partnership with a member of the opposite sex and marriage is not an option for us due to financial reasons. This amendment just nullified my rights to insurance, quality of life, and end of life rights to name my medical power of attorney. Just because I am not married to the guy means that all the rights I have had with him up until now, have been nullified by this stupid amendment just because the bible thumping lemmings are deathly afraid of homosexuals.
Just had to rant a little. Thanks.

Since Prop 8 is now part of the highest state law, it can only be overturned if it is found to conflict with federal statute or the U.S. Constitution.
Ai-ee! So, all I've got to hope for is Pres.-Elect Obama sticking to his feeling that the Federal Defense of Marriage Act should be repealed? If only I knew my congressional representatives' addresses.
