Brilliant! Now I really believe it’s okay for gays to be married.

Proposition 8 was the most hateful and absurd thing that California has seen in forty years. It’s absolutely okay for gay people to get married, there’s no valid reason to think otherwise. I’m glad to see that more people are speaking out against it…too bad they waited until after it passed.

Don’t worry Fran since the majority who voted overwhelmingly yes were young voters it is simply a matter of time till this is overturned. Enjoy your small victory of reducing others rights, but it won’t last long.

Congrats to the yes on prop 8 people who voted because they were told to be afraid of people that have nothing to do with you or your children. Congrats on your bigot ways, if your going to follow the bible then why don’t you follow it more closely…or is it just easier to cut and paste what you want to follow…laughable!

My personal opinions are too valuable to me to be swayed by Hollywood actors who make random and unsupported declarations. For example, it is clear that the writers of this skit haven’t learned about the fulfillment of the Law of Moses and the higher law that Christ taught. How is media like this helping us choose “love instead of hate”?

Where is the hate coming from?

Jonah Goldberg of LA Times reports:

At a pro-gay-marriage rally in Los Angeles after the vote, chants of “Mormon scum!” were reported. Envelopes containing white powder have been sent to Mormon temples in California and Utah; vandals hit other temples. Lists of businesses to boycott — essentially Mormon blacklists — have sprung up on the Internet. The artistic director of the California Musical Theatre resigned because of pressure after it was revealed he gave $1,000 to a pro-Proposition 8 group. It’s amazing. Hollywood liberals, who shout “McCarthyism!” as a first resort, see nothing wrong with this. If Jews were attacked in this way for giving too much money to a political cause, Barbra Streisand would already have a French passport.

Paranoid – Try to be educated before you post. Where in the constitution is marriage is a right? I mean have you read the constitution? I have and its not there.

If you dont believe marriage needs to be redefined how does that make you a bigot? What we cant have an opinion unless its yours – thats bigotry.

And if marriage is so damn important, then why dont you change your opinion to what makes sense – get the government out of marriage and put it back to the churches.

Di – same rights as tax paying individual? So you are or arent for equal rights? Last time I checked people who were married and had kids, get more tax credits than a single individual or a married couple without kids. where’s the equality there? What about the people who dont pay any taxes? That does seem equal.

It amazes me how there are so many uneducated americans whose only argument to support their position is one of feelings. If you are going to have an opinion, back it up with actual argument not words that sound good. Try reading the constitution too that might help you.

Im proposing a proposition to redefine marriage between a person and their cat.
Equal rights to cat lovers. You dont vote for it, Im going to personally go down and throw cat litter on you.

Take your so-called tolerance and shove it.

I had to laugh. Thanks!

This video was pretty funny. “Obamanation”!!

Anyway for the prop 8 supporters, when a majority votes against equal rights for a minority population, that is unjust and unconstitutional. Mob rule never works for long. And this issue is not something that should have been voted on in the first place. What happens between two loving, consenting adults is none of your or the state’s business.

Fran, just because something has been done for 5,000 years makes it okay? Stoning for women, slavery, and torture have also been done for thousands of years. The human race is constantly evolving and becoming more sensitive to their fellow humans and animals. Get on board or get left behind.

Jack Black needs to do more Jesus.

Umm…. Where were they two months ago? Please remind me? Not they ride in on white horsed, not that the battle has been lost. Give me a f*cking break!

VeggieTart, while I agree with your first two points completely, the last point is a common false argument that I hope people (typically on my side of the debate) would stop making. There is a very good reason why Christians don’t follow the rules about diets or mixing of fabrics: Only moral laws (like homosexuality being an abomination) are to be followed while ritualistic laws (like not mixing fabrics or eating shellfish) are no longer valid since the resurrection of Jesus. There are other similar rules, which might seem silly to non-believers, but regardless they are self-consistent thus cannot be trivially discarded.

Well, FBR, I’m glad we agree on something. That’s as rare as a lunar eclipse.

But how is homosexuality a moral law and consumption of certain foods or wearing of certain fabrics a ritualistic law? Who makes these decisions? I think it’s far more immoral to boil a lobster alive, for instance, than for two consenting adults to do whatever in the privacy of their bedroom.

And since I grew up Jewish and have since become agnostic, the New Testatment doesn’t apply to me, nor does picking and choosing which parts of the bible to obey. Which is NOT consistent at all.

Only moral laws… ok. Your still picking and choosing. The fact is your uncomfortable with idea of gay people getting married because then you might have to face your own sexuality. Like people who says its a choice to be gay. You choose to be straight. You had gay thoughts but choose to be straight. WOW

p.s I know someone will mention this, “why don’t you marry a woman?” but the fact is I’m in love.
