This whole same sex marriage thing is not a new thing. I was once against do to the religious aspect of it. I then concidered the fact that if god is against let him judge. Who are we to judge. Allow them do what they want as far as getting married. Of that is the path they choose then so be it.

For all the homosexuals out there, I know about your pain and I can imagine your sorrow. But to be honest, I'm a defender for how everything was used to be, just how God ordained it for us to be. We mess the whole thing up and say things about legal rights. But not everything what you think is good is right. All things are lawful on to me, but not all things are profitable.
Goodness is love choosing and faithfulness is love keeping His word. Just the fact that you are opposing same sex marriages, will not say that you are intolerant. Sometimes you have to make decisions which are very sorrowful for certain groups, but at the end it turned to be a wise decision for the good of many.
I’m not a homophobic or a religious person or whatever you could name it.
But it was said that marriage didn’t believe to man on the first place. Marriage was written in the Bible as a commitment between male and female. Everyone is speaking about legal rights and a free country.
But we can’t afford to use marriage on a way to please certain groups. It is originated as an institution and commitment between husband and wife. Who have their sexual intercourse within their marriage. I’m glad that the Californians choose with their hearts and made a wise decision. I hope that this outcome will also flow to Europe, because I know that many gay people are delivered from their homosexuality by the mighty hand of God.
An acquaintance of mine seems to be born as a homosexual and had a lover for 12 years.
Came to repentance, he converted himself from his sexual behaviour and turned to God. Jesus delivered him and saved him by His precious blood. There are two more gay people who gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Being gay didn’t come by nature. It’s bondage and in the name of Jesus they can be delivered and they can all change their life styles. If they submit themselves to God and pray for a healing, they will receive an answer from heaven.
I don’t judge gays but I reject the action itself, which is sin. Just as adultery or stealing from other people is wrong thing to do also.
Don’t get me wrong here, but I know that we have to draw a line somewhere. They can be domestic partners and live on a partnership with each other. To conceive children is also only possible for a man and a woman. And that people remarry all the time should also be limited. The marital agreement is a lifetime commitment and there are some demands that you must fulfil before you can marry. If everybody turned to be gay, the human race would be gone in a little while.

The Gay/Lesbian community claims discrimination and civil rights violations. Well then, file the case in Federal Courts where this issue belongs under the Civil Rights Act. They are doing a disservice to the rest of the nation's gay/lesbian community if they don't. But the reality is pretty obvious that the Gay/Lesbian Community does not want to take this route because they already know beforehand that they will lose. Where's the justice then?

There's very specific verses about this in the bible and the destruction that comes of it. No to gay marriage. It is immoral and inappropriate to be so mainstream.

i personally am for same sex marriges.the love between a man and a man or a woman and woman should and is just as important as athe love bettween a man and a woman.it shouldnt matter gay lesbian bi trans whatever according to the contitustion of the u.s. all persons are equal inculding marridal rights.remember love is love no matter what people do.
oh and by the way saying that gay /lesbians arent allowed to marry but then saying oh this wont really affect them is retarded.
marriage is a sacred vow shared by two people not just a man and woman.

Then all our rights will be revoked as christians as our kids will be indoctrinated with same sex messages in schools. Churches, christian radio, etc.. will all be banned for going against the law of same sex because it will be considered to be a hate crime. Our rights will be revoked for immorality!!

Let Gay Men and Lesbian Women Marry It Is There Legal Right.Ignore All Straight People They Are liars and They Are Deceitful They Want Power Over Everybody,They Want Everything There Way.Straight People Don't Know Nothing About Gays And Lesbians They Only Think They Know.Same-Sex Marriage Has Nothing To Do With Straight Marriage. Same-Sex Marriage is For Gay Men And Lesbian Women,It Has Nothing To Do With Straight Men Or Straight Women. It Seems That Straights Want The Monopoly On Marriage. Same-Sex Marriage Has Nothing To Do With Traditional Marriage, It Has Nothing To Do With Straight Men And Straight Women.Leave Well Enough Alone.

a vote for prop 8 is a vote to go against what most people truly beleive in and what the church beleives.

I did some investigation and found this. I think it's great. These is a crucial voting, that's why it's important to do our very best. Look at this and don't say that you can't believe that this ain't true. When I first saw it, I thought Wauw! This is awesome. Anybody ready for a guess. This vote can change our future forever.
