Gay Marriage Protests

VSiskos
People from around the country joined over the weekend in protest of California's controversial Proposition 8. The proposition, which was approved by a narrow margin in California, banned same sex marriages from the state.

    • I think marriage should be classified as a constitution of love between whomever feels it. Gay, lesbian, straight who cares other than the stupid people who have an issue with it because its not traditional. Yank up your pant legs and shake off traditional! Its BORING.

    • This is so wrong.
      There is no way this should be legally binding.
      The state and religion should be seperate.
      Homosexuality does not prohibit religious activity.
      Gambling is a 'sin', is that banned?
      Smoking cigarettes is technically a 'sin' as your brain is affected by the drugs.
      There are a lot worse thing than homosexuality.
      How would the religious order react if homosexual voted to ban religion?

      First of all each religon has its own "sins" so i guess some of that would depend on which religon you're talking about. Gambling is illegal in most places and there is smoking areas and sin tax.... They would do the same thing by practicng their religon and fight for thier rights but you also have to remember the legal side of things such as insurance and taxes and how that might effect others. But I do agree with gay marriage.

      adultery is a sin and we have data that proves more than 50% of married couples engage in sex outside of marriage,.....
      all arguments that claim they have religious beliefs backing their opinion fail to make any sense when presented with actual data.

    • There is no need for a compromise as the initial ruling by the California State Supreme Court was not radical and extreme to begin with. All it did was recognize the right of gays and lesbians to marry their partners and to give their families the full legal and social recognition that they deserve. It did not in any way infringe on the rights of any religious group at all. The ruling applied only to civil marriage and did not apply to religious marriage as performed by churches. Any church could set its own rules as to who it wished to marry and to how it wished to conduct the ceremony. The court ruling gave rights to one group deprived of them without taking any rights away from anyone else in any manner whatsoever.

      Yes, I suspect that Soleil10 will soon swoop down like a giant self-righteous Seagull out of a Mormon legend spewing out anti-gay shrieks.
