Californians - Vote No on Prop 8
Saying yes on Prop 8 won’t protect your marriage. Your marriage is as safe as you want it to be.
This proposition is not about protecting the world from the slippery slope of humans marrying animals. Your crazy dog-lady neighbor will probably still try to marry her dog one day, and I still don’t see how that makes your marriage any less. Your marriage is as safe as you want it to be.
Saying yes on Prop 8 won’t protect girls from learning how to go down on girls and boys from wanting to go down on boys. They will discover that all on their own. Thinking any differently is retarded.
Pay attention. It’s very simple, Proposition 8 is about about stripping the basic civil rights of consenting adult humans to enter into a legal and binding contract called marriage.
And let’s get this straight, once and for all. Marriage is a contract. Nothing more. It’s got nothing to do with your god, or their god, or even my lack of a god. Saying your marriage will mean less if it’s lumped in with gay marriage is like saying my will means less if it’s lumped in with your will. It just doesn’t make sense. It’s a piece of paper. You deserve your piece of paper. I deserve my piece of paper. My neighbor who has sex with men deserves his piece of paper. All of our collective yet separate pieces of paper have nothing to do with each other. Are you understanding this yet?
Let me make it more clear.
You are a moron if you don’t vote No on Prop 8.
Now is the time to donate. Let your support be known.
And go to Looky, Daddy for more photos, because he’s right, everyone should have the right to be awesome.

Leave it to the tubes to bring the funny along with some great No on 8 messages. I found three videos on YouTube of a similar spirit:

Thank you! Everyone should understand that this is about legal rights, and we should all have the same legal rights. And, at least where I live in sunny Newport Beach, they are making it seem that you should vote YES, because it is an attack on your “parenting rights”..because they “might” talk about this in school??? I swear I had to look the whole proposition up… WTF?? It amazes me that some people want their kids to grow up ignorant of the world, judging other people, and with a feeling of self entitlement of what is right for OTHERS…
I am SOOOO voting NO…

This has been another episode of ‘What Digby Said’:
[http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/proposition-hate-meet-funders-by.html]
I live in the sector of the nation called the ‘Bible Belt’. Except we’re not ‘around the belt’. Most days we’re located firmly in the Stygian Depths of the Lower Intestines. In the Belly of the beast. Still I’ve been arguing for years, with & to anyone, that this is a simple issue of contract law. I do it in some 3 simple steps.
1.) Do Gays Exist And are they Human? (Why yes, and Catullus was penning the most touching love poems to yes, boys in the First Century BC).
2.) Are they US Citizens? (Yes, mostly.)
3.) Then Ergo they are due ALL the Rights & Responsibilities Guaranteed by the US Constitution. Including the Right Of Contract that was previously denied to slaves, Blacks and yes, even Women.
The right to make, keep and enforce Contracts is not only essential to any Democracy, it’s the Very Foundation of the Rule of Law. Those that seek to deny these rights to others Must love torturing the rest of us yes, hetero’s with their Lawless interpretations and excuses for their dogmatic tribal prejudices and violent hatreds that rule their world. They can not be allowed to rule ours. Cheers & Good Luck, ‘VJ’

This post made my day. I’m on facebook & rarely make comments about politics and props, but today I showed my support AGAINST 8 for the 1st time on a friends profile, and got slammed by a Bible thumping lunatic. That’s how it is….Yes on Prop 8 are angry, unreasonable, unhappy, unevolved crazies who are so insecure and ignorant that they think that gays marrying each other will somehow effect their lives more than gay people in general already effect their lives. They are worried their kids will think it’s ok for them to grow up and choose to be gay and marry another gay person. They worry about corruption of the world and don’t realize that narrow-minded thinking like theirs is actually the root cause of world violence now and in the history of the world.
No on Prop 8. Nothing changes…just a piece of paper. Has nothing to do with church and religious ceremonies…it’s a legal contract, a piece of paper validating basic human rights. Yes on Prop 8 peeps need to get over it b/c someday gay marriage will be non-issue for good, just like a woman’s right to vote is a non-issue….basic human rights, nothing more, nothing less.

I am pleased that I live in Canada where same sex unions are perfectly fine. I can not believe something like this even NEEDS to be voted on - seriously. If you want to love and screw one person for the rest of your life (or whatever) why shouldn’t you be allowed to make that a contract?
Or in our case in this house - why bother getting married when you already have a home and kids? To us it doesn’t matter either way but everyone should get to make their own CHOICE.

Standing and APPLAUDING… LOVE IS LOVE
and besides what right does heterosexuals have determining who should and shouldn’t marry with the divorce rates as they are
MARRIAGE IS A WORD The act is what matters
Yep I’m one of them straight people who support same-sex marriage, adoption and rights.
