so cali voted to pass prop 8. prop 8 makes marriage defined as a man and a woman. i have problems with this and the more i think about it, the more upset i get. heres me 2 cents:
marriage: the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments and religious ceremonies
1) marriage is supposed to be a union of 2 people who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. so why can't 2 men marry? are they not capable of love? is their love for each other not as a good as a heterosexual couple?
2) marriage is a legal right. the government shouldn't discriminate... period.
3) marriage is a religious act under god. so why is it recognized by the government? shouldnt you get married in a church then apply for a union at the court house?
4) marriage of 2 men is not ruining the sanctity of anything. was it not 50 years ago that an interracial couple was ruining the sanctity of marriage? are heidi and seal ruining your marriage?
please read http://www.bidstrup.com/marriage.htm
specifically the arguments against gay marriage.
tell me what you think. do you agree, disagree?
