Texas:

if Prop 8 doesn’t pass then several of my unalienable rights that are stated in the Bill of Rights that this Nation was partly founded upon will be alienated. Freedom to allow my kids to be born into and live in a home where Traditional love abounds, that is to say between a Man and a Woman.

So if Prop 8 doesn’t pass, you’ll divorce your current spouse and hook up with someone the same sex as you, thus forcing your children to grow up in which two men or two women (depending on your sex) love each other, rather than a man and a woman?

Why on earth would you do that? If you’re gay, why wait for Prop 8 to rearrange your life?

They can fully exercise those rights RIGHT NOW.

Correct: right now, all Californians can marry the person they love. And that’s precisely the right that Prop 8 is designed to take away from some people.

“There needs to be tolerance in both directions, and Prop. 8 is the only way to allow equality for all.”

Sorry Samantha, but tolerance shouldn’t be offerered to a group of people who’ve tried to have gays executed in the 80′s, spreads the lies that gays = pedophiles, or if they have a hallucination about gay people, they try to make it seems as if their hallucination is true.

These people simply aren’t “against the homosexual lifestyle”. They’re the non-racial definition of the “N word” (as people call it), and nothing more.

It appears that the opposers to Prop. 8 would like tolerance in one direction, theirs. They would like to force people to accept they lifestyle that they do not agree with. It is a fact that 61% of Californians voted against gay marriage in 2000.
Under California law, “domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits” as married spouses. (Family Code ¬ß 297.5.) There are NO exceptions. Proposition 8 WILL NOT change this.

It will be the rights of the in support of Prop. 8 that will have their rights taken away as people label them as bigots because they aren’t accepting a lifestyle they believe to be immoral. There needs to be tolerance in both directions, and Prop. 8 is the only way to allow equality for all. It restores the definition of marriage for those that believe that it is only between a man and a woman, but does not take away the rights of homosexual couples. Vote Yes on Prop. 8 for equality.

"Texas," the Bill of Rights gives neither you nor your kids freedom from having to cope with the freedom of others. Specifically, the Bill of Rights does not grant you freedom from the freedom of others to love. And it does not grant your church the freedom to deny other churches or temples their religious freedom. The LA Times pointed out that California law does not permit sex education without parental consent. That does not change just because gay or lesbian people can marry.

I just have to say that if Prop 8 doesn’t pass then several of my unalienable rights that are stated in the Bill of Rights that this Nation was partly founded upon will be alienated. Freedom to allow my kids to be born into and live in a home where Traditional love abounds, that is to say between a Man and a Woman. I would like to make myself clear, I am not anti-homosexuals. They have their rights as much as I do. They can fully exercise those rights RIGHT NOW. If this Proposition doesn’t pass, we allow homosexual marriage, it will allow Homosexual behavior to be taught in PUBLIC schools and become common place. Marriage has been and forevermore should be known as between a Man and a Woman. Allow me to illustrate my point.

The definition of marriage for eons of time has been defined as only between a man and a woman; just the same way that a Peanut Butter and Jelly (PB and J) sandwich(marriage) has to have both PB and J(man and woman) to be a PB and J sandwich(marriage). It can not have just Peanut Butter or Jelly (man and man or woman and woman) and be a PB and J sandwich (marriage) it is still a sandwich (i.e. civil union or domestic partnerships) just not a PB and J sandwich(marriage).
