CHOOSING to vote against it is condemnation. Its not your stamp of approval, but your choice to vote against it was a stamp of disproval.

The entire motion to reverse a law that was already permitted and allowed in your state and others and in the entirety of Canada that has proven to be harmless was deliberately shot down by the people of California.

It will be turned back eventually, once clear minds prevail. And they all those who voted against will have wasted their time disapproving over something that has no impact on them.

- which Jesus ALSO points out.

Which has nothing to do with the American government.

Its not a slam at all on Jesus. Silly as it may sound Jesus is properly portrayed for the purposes of this skit.

Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collectors and was criticized for it. His answer was that he did not endorse their sin, but he still loved them.

And I am sorry Chriton, but if you can agree that they should have all the rights any couple has, but not allow marriage then you are a hypocrite. Adoption is another non issue. Your assertment that a child NEEDS a mother and a father is silly. Do they benefit? Sure. But they benefit from ANY stable home life regardless of who provides it. Its not an issue of male or female parents.

The point is that it DOESNT bother anyone to allow them to marry. It doesnt hurt anyone. It doesnt change any one else’s status.

Its just ignorant to say they can have it all, but not have it all.

But we are putting this in another context. I’m sorry, Rod. It is. If Jesus was the son of God (and I and others believe by faith that he is) or even just a prophet of God- God’s word clearly says that he (God) is against homosexuality. Granted, Jesus would have reached out to the gay community since he preached to the tax collectors, the prostitutes the poor, the blind and the downtrodden.

Would Jesus condone Gay marriage? No. He wouldn’t.

Equal protection under the law is a foundational constitutional right in the California constitution. The Prop 8 vote is egregious because it tries to circumvent that foundational right and remove equal protection from a single group. It is unique in American history in that it is the first time a single group had an existing court vetted constitutional right stripped away by popular vote. It has opened a can of worms that if allowed to stand lays the groundwork for popular votes to remove the rights of any group who is unpopular (Muslims, immigrants, racial groups, political groups, etc..)

I know that those opposed to same sex marriage also like to pretend that their position isn’t discriminatory, or bigoted or founded in hate, but that is a personal delusion they are living under which allows them to sleep at night. They can pretend they aren’t hateful, but those of us on the receiving end of their “beliefs” can assure them that if it smells like hate, looks like hate, tastes like hate and feels like hate – then there’s a 99.9% probability that is is indeed hate.

These people are on the wrong side of history and will look as foolish as the bigots in the south who shouted ugly things at black school children as they entered newly integrated schools (another triumph of the Supreme Court).

I support Polygamy always and forever.

3 wives FTW.
