So I'm tired of being hassled with all the yes on prop 8. There is this commercial on TV urging you to vote yes on prop 8 because if you don't gay marriage will be taught in schools and then it showed a children's book entitled "The King & King". Umm what??? Is that the best they can come up with?? When are you ever taught anything about marriage in school?
Then my mom told me today there was a huge group of people standing out on deer valley road with signs reading "Yes on 8 protect marriage" or something.
Then to top it off some old man called ( yes I could tell he was old from the sound of his voice) the house and left a message urging us to vote yes on prop 8 and I was so upset that I wasn't here to talk to him.
Here's the thing. When I first moved to vegas, I didn't have ANY straight friends. My gay best friend stood on my side at my wedding in spite of comments that were made. I find it horrible that these people are not legally allowed to be united with the people they love. Aside from that, as a mother, I have to consider that I may have a gay child and want them to have the same civil liberties that the rest of Americans have. I don't get it, don't parents think about that when they are supporting prop 8???
I can't stand it anymore. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'm tired of everyone trying to push their beliefs of on other people. Everyone just needs to police their own morals instead of policing those of others. Someone sent this to me on myspace. I love it.
10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong**read carefully**
1) Being gay is not natural.
And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts...
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.
People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all.
Hence why women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed.
And we can't let the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our population isn't out of control, our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children.
Since, of course, straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America. (Did I miss the lesson where Jesus says He hates gays?)
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
**Love makes a marriage**
Vote NO on Prop 8...Our country needs a little action anyway.
