Gothamist: Yes on Prop 8: California's Gay Marriage Ban Passes

Hey point and direct its like this the city of California or any other state that wants to approve any same sex marriage act regardless which city it may be California approved but its not GOD approved. Thats why his wrath came on Sodom & Gomorrah. You can't take up this argument with me but you need to take this up to GOD. He said in the last days it would be like this. So the more you step out the more you prove the Bible is true what was written before you were born.

It is amazing, i think that in order to support No on 8, the people had to have IQ's below 100. Consider, millions of dollars came from the Polygamist in Utah and the homosexual pedophiles in the Catholic Church and NAMBLA. Also, I hear them suggest that Civil Union is not goood enough, because they don't get the same federal rights of marriage. But, Read the Federal DOMA inacted in 1996, and by the way Califirnia's DOMA in 2000 followed this. DOMA: The Federal Government may not treat same-sex relationships as marriages for any purpose, even if concluded or recognized by one of the states. Prop 8 is consisted with the guidelines for the Federal DOMA and just like Protectmarriage.com said the No on 8 people are politically postering to no avail. Also, consider The bill was passed by Congress by a vote of 85-14 in the Senate[1] and a vote of 342-67 in the House of Representatives[2], and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996. That means that it was passed by 85% vote in the Senate and 85% in the House, which is consisted with 87% of America who value a traditional marriage.

To babyhitler who says If there is a hell, I'll probably go to the first circle of hell. The noble and virtuous pagans. Are you serious or just blogging out of boredom, because you can not be that obtuse. There is no nobility or virtue in Hell. You can choose to go wherever you want. But know this, Hell is desolate, isolated, and a continuous consumption by fire. It has to be, because filth has to be burnt. Now no man is filth, but the man who winds up in Hell is pure filth. I wonder if you are wishing gayness upon your father, because Freud said that man often sees God in the image of their own father. That is until they come into the knowledge of God. You are in complete darkness, which is why your sight is less than that of a blind man. I only say this, so that you can know to seek the light and find truth. There are actually former homsexual Christian psychiatrist that help people come out of this darkness.

Often misquoted is the scripture about judgment. The Bible says try the spirits, which means to judge them. It also warns of false prophets, which means that you must judge them. I can tell one straight up, that if they die today in their sins, without accepting Christ then they will find themselves in Hell. It is necessary that you judge, just like you must judge a man to be hungry so you can feed him. What we are not called to is to condemnation. We are not to condemn a man or a group because of their sin. However, I must tell him that he is sinning and that there is a way out of that sin and a road to salvation. What some so-called churches and banned Catholic homosexual priests are doing, is counseling homosexuals to follow their heart and fulfill their desires and lusts for the one they love. They are embracing the SIN not the sinner. Imagine if AA were to say, don't worry drink away, it is okay, that is what you desire, I will even drink with you. I do not judge your alcohilism as wrong.

It's like this the measure you judge some one the measure you will be judged back. People may want to say this or that about GOD or people feel like this is an alternative lifestyle or whatever. Even people who say they know GOD may bring condemnation on others rather than show forgiveness which just push people back from really knowing GOD. We all have sinned before GOD's eyes just like a man may look at a women lustfully with his eyes commits audultrey in his own heart or thief murderer there is no difference. But those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. A murderer,thief,liar,sodomite,fornicator and others. There is hope for you found at the foot of the cross. Jesus does love you and it is true those who reject the truth then there is a place that was only made for the fallen angels and not made for man. That is a place that I wish no one to go. Seek the truth and you will find it. Knock at the door and it will be open. Ask and it will be given to you. These are troubling times we live in. Alot what is happening today was written years ago. You may let this what I say go in one ear and out the other or you can call me a radical fanatic or whatever. I just want you to know there is truth and that what you seek those answers to the unknown void deep down in your soul which all at one time or another has hidden from showing toward another. Rest assure GOD can fill it. I once was there sucidal tendencies becuase I had no answers to the truth that I was seeking. Till GOD spoke to me in alone in my room and said I had a reason for living and that he loved me and died for me so that I may live. He speaks the same to you. You have a reason for living. Its a promise GOD will return again to take us home be ready my friend this life is temporary but Life with Him is eternal. No one can make that choice for you its up to you if you want to trust Him or not. I found that out at 18 yrs of age 1994. Take care and don't be discourage your the apple of GOD's eye.

@lushintransit, i really have to think about it. I don't like discrimination of any form. It is hard for me to change my belief in marriage. Even in my church, they preach that what God creates is not evil or bad. therefore, even churches teaches that homosexuals are not bad or evil. I just feel that changing the definition of marriage is just too extreme. i don't know why but it seems extreme to me. again, I have to really think about it and thank you and others for their comments. Also I advice people not to assume that those that voted Yes on Prop 8 hate gays or are fanatics.

babyhitler,you are gay, why don't you just open state it. Also I don't hate gays or discriminate it. why always play the victim. I believe in the sanctity of marriage, why must the beliefs be quash. my beliefs are not hurting anyone? Civil unions have the same legal standing, why can't it be enough? I think it is unfair for a small group to impose their lifestyles unto me. Live and let me. Dont' tamper with marriage. It is the fundamental of Christianity. If you try to destroy it then you will have a major backlash.

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:17:18 -0500

@lush, yes we should all have civil unions and marriages should be for those in the church. that is a compromise I can deal with. They should change the word marriage to civil unions for all. I have no issue at all with that. but to change the meaning of a word that is embedded in a lot of religions and people's belief is wrong to me. you are changing or forcing your own beliefs unto me.

felixthecat

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:13:42 -0500

it doesn't affect me but marriage is between a man and a woman. why aren't civil unions sufficient. It is about socialization and not acceptance. If children are taught marriage is between man and man or woman and woman then homosexuality will actually become a choice. It won't turn anyone gay but it will make the young generation experiment more. I have to think about this more but I don't understand why civil unions can be sufficient. why must marriage be tampered. I believe God created Adam and Eve. But I also believe taught love and that homosexuality is mostly genetic and not a choice. I don't think homosexuals or any groups should be discriminated. I just wish they would leave my fundamental belief of marriage alone.

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:12:52 -0500

@felixthecat @your 37 thought: I agree with a lot of what your saying but at the same time, marriage and civil union are just words. That's it. The fact of the matter is civil union is stupid. Why should a gay couple have to explain that they're not *really* mattered but they have a civil union when other couples can just say "yes, we're married?" How is that fair? And as far as 'the roots' of nature, your right--they've both been around is society for years. However, the first decision against gay marriage was passed in the year 342 so this is not a "new" issue. It's been around as long as our time scale has. Less than 100 years ago, I would not be able to vote. That's a 'new' issue. Less than 50 years ago, my best friend and I would have never met because we would not have attended the same school. That's a 'new' issue. Couples wanting to be together isn't anything new. Discrimination against it is not either. When it comes down to it, no one is asking YOU to marry a gay man. No one is asking YOU to do anything. This doesn't really 'affect' anyone but gay couples. People seem to be threatened by the idea that "they're" trying to take "my" marriage word away. If marriage is a state of mind, then no ones marriage is lessened or made stronger by the word itself.

@felixthecat If you're a man (who I'm assuming is straight), how do two people who are not you getting married affect you? How is this 'shoving it down your throat?" When I get married (as a women to a man), it's not even going to have the smallest of butterfly effects on you. So how suddenly do other couples?

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:01:53 -0500

If civil unions give the same exact benefits as "marriage," then heterosexual couples should be getting them too. It's only fair, right? When it comes down to it, marriage is just a word. So is civil union. They mean the same exact fucking thing. Get the religion out of the state and maybe the world will get their head out of their ass.

There is no reason to force their own lifestyles. it only hurts everyone in the end. Yes the black community does not stand against all injustice.

I think it's necessary to show the breakdown of the vote, political correctness be damned! Barack Obama is opposed to gay marriage but he said he was opposed to Proposition 8. Unfortunatly, because a much larger than usual number of black voters turned out for him Proposition 8 passed. The breakdown of the yes vote was Blacks 70%, Whites 47%, Latinos and Asians were split. Without the larger than usual black vote, Proposition 8 would lhave failed. Bigotry is bigotry, no matter what color the bigot is. Unfortunately the black community is notoriously known for being insensitive to the plight of other minorities. They seem to think that they alone have suffered. Also, their religiosity leads them to cruelty in the name of God. I hope that Obama makes it part of his mission to persuade black people that their attitudes towards Jews, Latinos, Gays and others is unacceptable. I am reminded that Andrew Goodman and Mickey Schwerner were two very young Jewish men from New York, who died along with the young black Cheney in Mississippi, while working together for the right of blacks to vote. I don't see black people rallying to the side of embattled minorities. I think it's high time that they were held accountable.

Marriage between men and women, procreation and the raising of children has been the foundation of countless societies for thousands of years. It is the natural condition that is best for 97% of the earth's population. Alternatively, homosexuality is also a natural condition that has co-existed with heterosexuality all this time. However, not until this point has there ever been a perceived need by so many people that marriage needs to be redefined to include same sex couples. If you can have a civil union that provides for all the benefits of marriage and have a have a wedding ceremony at your church and/or with family and friends, what does it matter whether the state considers you to be married as long as you consider yourself to be married and you have the same legal rights as married people? Why do you need the society to validate you this way? If you consider yourself to be married then aren't you? As divorce rates indicate, the state's involvement in maintaining a marriage is minimal. What binds two people together in a marriage is their commitment to one another and not the state. So being married is a frame of mind and a level of commitment between two people. The state only provides rights, which should be available through civil union. I say live and let live. The only thing I don't like is the left wing trying to socialize me or my family. I don't need anyone telling my children it's admirable or desirable to be gay at school (taking them to gay weddings or having them write letters in support for gays people, etc.). Should my children be gay I will love them as much as I do now. But it's not my hope for them as a parent and I consider it to be a private family matter that shouldn't involve schools or the state. I believe homosexuality at the 3% level is probably mostly genetic. However, if we look at history we see that socialization can result in increased levels of homosexual activity. For example, look at ancient Greece. Homosexuality was celebrated there and it would appear that it was practiced by a larger percentage of the population. This suggests that homosexuality in Greece was not entirely genetic, but was to some extent the result of socialization. How early information is introduced to children can also be a concern. When children are introduced to sexual information at too early of an age, it can result in a hyper-sexuality. It's too much information and they don't know how to process it and may be more inclined to act out. Sort of like giving a child a loaded gun. It's one think to tell a 14 year old we don't pick on gay kids, we respect them just like anyone else, and if you are gay then there's a school counselor you can speak to if you feel like you need support. It's underhanded left wing brain washing for the school to have this discussion with a class full of seven year olds and that type of stuff is entirely unacceptable. No stories about the kid with two moms during second grade reading time, etc. No socialization, period. (took this comment from another paper and I think it covers the issue well, it is not about acceptance but about socialization)

Also I don't hate gays but just as gays don't like people to convert them to heterosexuality, I don't like gays forcing their way unto me. Marriage is traditional between man and woman. You can have civil unions with the same benefits. most people don't have an issue with that. I don't have an issue with it either.

#20 -- according to exit polls, 70% of blacks voted Yes on Prop 8 (compared to 49% of whites). Blacks were 10% of the overall CA vote and 95% of them voted for Obama. Black voters (esp. black women -- 76% of them voted Yes on 8), were overwhelmingly opposed to gay marriage. Seems to me that black voters were only interested in change and equal rights when it benefits them, screw the gay community. They got what they wanted... a black President (thanks in part to large support from the gay community) and the end of gay marriage in CA.

@#12. Not all fundamental Christians are white, and not all whites are fundamental Christians. In fact, there are A LOT of people of minority background who are actually conservative in terms of morals. Conservative moralism isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. The spirit of fundamental Christianity is (or rather, ought to be) conservativism (don't be selfish) in terms of carnal pleasures, but be liberal (giving) economically. Unfortunately, the same standards are often imposed by the Religious Right on others who may not agree.

Referenda are such good ideas! Right! There should be a referendum to abolish referenda. Referenda are the basest form of democracy. Remember this referendum the next time you rant here about 'the people's choice' on term limits, a slick ad campaign bought and paid for by a spoiled trust-fund brat, Ron Lauder. The suckers fell for it and we are among the few jurisdictions in the country with this undemocratic restriction on whom we can vote. The first referenda were in the Coliseum: thumbs up/thumbs down = eat the Christians. Great idea, right?

My sister and I were both raised in the Mormon church, and we are both gay. Our parents and sister in CA voted to take our rights away, along with the many members who raised us and taught us to be like Jesus. Their actions are certainly not Christ-like. It is indeed a very sad day for each of us personally, and for our country's ideals of equality. I do want to point out that although the Mormon church put A LOT of effort to pass 8, not all members of that religion feel that way. Some very courageous members have spoken, out which is not easy in that community. www.mormonsformarriage.com. Please help fight the fear that has convinced people of a variety of backgrounds to believe that SSM will ruin their male-female marriages, threaten their children, and ruin our world. It is not true. Loving gay couples will continue to exist and contribute to our society.

mrmagoo, that's what I read this morning, it's too close to call until EVERY vote is counted. I'm still hoping it doesn't pass. It'd be a sad day for freedom of choice. I'd request a recount!

It's pretty sad conservative fucktards spent 74 million dollars on this amendment to take away the rights of gays when they could have used to money for better causes.

Laws like this will eventually be found unconstitutional might have to wait 5-10 years but they will nothing can stop that all forms of government has to get away from the use of the word "marriage" and change it to "union" on all documentation then the moralists can keep their precious word

i'm wondering if confusion was a factor (yes meant no, no meant yes) or if apathy was a factor. were there more people who wanted to see it banned than people who didn't care either way?

Was that guy with the "1 man + 1 woman" sign protesting gay marriage or Mormon polygamists?
