Should California Pass Prop 8?

Should California Pass Prop 8?

The California Supreme Court abolished the state’s same-sex marriage ban in May, sparking public celebration in some places and angry protest in others. Now some critics of same-sex marriage are fighting back with an initiative to reinstate the ban, leaving voters once again divided. Should marriage remain between a man and a woman, or is it time to widen the aisle for same-sex couples? (Editor's Note: On November 4th, California voters passed Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage.)

    This isn't about "labels"

    Its about legal rights...hospital visitation, getting into an ambulance, tax incentives. These are not the same for domestic partners. Its exactly like having separate "but equal" drinking fountains or restrooms--or sitting in the back of the bus.

    Religions don't have to bless these unions, however its up to the government of the people to treat people fairly and bestow the same rights.

    What?

    Of course they want government approval. Why shouldn't they? Why do you insist on making homosexuals second class citizens? Take a look at the history of the Quakers in England. Tell me, what is the difference in your view vs. Englands views of the Quakers? Why is your religious heart so dark and shut off?
