We do not want government in control of marriage. We need to start treating each other as humans. Government free marriage is the pathway to equality. Government should have no control over religion or marriage. Leave marriage to the religions or to the people to freely contract with one another.
@seethelightofgod ..who knows u could be on to something. For example in 2005, Republican Rep Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigned from Congress after pleading guilty to taking more than $2 million in bribes in a criminal conspiracy involving at least three defense contractors which enabled him to buy a $2.5 million mansion, a suburban Washington condominium, a yacht and a Rolls Royce. Gotta watch 'em close....
@seethelightofgod ...or maybe he is acting the way a true christian should act by realizing that it is not up to him to judge. If you really "saw the light of god" you would not be filled with so much hate. Jesus never turned his back on anybody! Hopefully someday you can actually read the book and understand it, instead of believe everything you hear!
I cant believe we live in California and we dont have equal rights yet, in other states in the MID west where they tip cows for fun gay marriage is ok... Lol Come on live and let live. California is should have been first!

This is so emotional! He risked his political career, but I admire his honesty. At the end people supported him but it was a really bold move. My hat off gentleman!
This issue has nothing whatsoever to do with equality. I am a man and I cannot join the women's health club or the girls softball team - but that also is not an equality issue. Everyone simply draws the line in a different place - only man and woman, or no brothers and sisters, no marriage between retarded individuals, no first cousins, or whatever. It is all about where you draw the line.
Good going. But the thing that makes me mad is that we even have to ask these questions. Gays should be allowed to be married, just because christian government people don't believe in it doesn't mean they have the right to say that people can't be married.

It's a sad day in America because of leaders like this weak mayor of a major city. I believe he was either forced to do this or was paid big bucks to sign this. It should be investigated for this so-called major change of heart just happened after campaigning previously against what he has now declared is right and true?! Yeah, it must be all about the dirty money, maybe?
If this Mayor really had "integrity" as you have asserted, he would love his daughter...but remain steadfast on his values and convictions! that would have demonstrated a high level of integrity!
That is true! A man can learn and grow and admit he was wrong. However, in this case he simply relented by his daughter is gay! That is not "learning, growing, and admitting one was wrong", that is cowardice at its worst!
Be a man and stand for your "true values and convictions" even if it goes against your daughter! Had that been me, I would have still loved my daughter, but maintain my belief that marriage is between a man and a woman! That's being a real man!
So what is your opinion on this issue? Should gay people be forced you are saying to marry straight people to get the same benefits thats straights get? The simple fact is not in the eyes of god but in the eyes of this government--this country these people are entitled to the same benefits and rights as you (if you are married have). You may also wish to ask yourself how this effects you? The answer is it does not.

How does it affect me? It affects everyone as there is no such thing as "gay marriage". It is a perversion of what our Creator established when He create "Male & Female" and united them as the first married couple.
Gays cannot procreate so the world will die out according to their own logic and false belief in evolution.
You sound very young and inexperience and thus you think that destroying the family is no big deal. When you become a "man", you will understand better!
Got ya!! U can not defend your opinion without bringing god into this debate. You are right if the whole world was gay the race would stop. But so would it with Priests so should we outlaw then too? I am a man my friend. I believe that this is the land of the free and also of seperation of church and state. Your religion is FAR more of a choice then these people being gay-- I assure you. If you choose ot believe in a invisible man in the sky that is your choice--do not force it on others.

You didn't get me. God is all over this debate because marriage is "His" institution, not the government's! You know in your heart that for a man to be Sodomized by another man is just plain perverted. Try women, I rpomise you will like them better!
I do prefer women but I also understand homosexuality as I work with 2 of them. Tell me at what age did you "choose" to be straight? When did you say " I choose women over men?" U did not did U? And neither did these people. Thats fine. If marriage is a institution of god then get the government out of it all together--( no more benefits). Cause see gays pay taxes too and they are citizens. And they are being told they are below others. They are entitled to the same benefits.

You prefer women because God gave you an affinity towards women! Guess what? That decision was made when you were conceived in your Mother's womb!
If if one were to buy into the notion/theory that a person's orientation is off for whatever reason, there can be no doubt that one must still make a choice as to whether they are going to act on their impusle!
What we obviously know is that there is a clear and distinct difference between a Man and a Woman! Of that, there can be no doubt!
A) Since when does anybody remember their conscious thoughts from when they were toddlers, let alone fetuses?
B) Even if it's a choice whether or not to act on an impulse, that doesn't change the fact that the impulse was, at some level, a natural part of their body.
C) There are clear and distinct differences between the races too. Black men are more similar in the 22 autosomes to black women than they are to white men. Should interracial marriage restrictions be brought back?
soo many damn mormons in this video and southerners apparently... I'm definiteley straight but I stand firm for the rights of gay marriage. Why hate anyway? It has nothing to do with you anyways. Everyone should be given a choice. So all you mormons can have sex and jack off little boys and southerners can have sex with their sons and daughters or whatever the fuck u want to stick ur dick into, including farm animals. Go ahead and hate on me , your opinions dont matter to me at all.
Wow this man is amazing!! His message is truly from the heart. He is a good man. He is loving and open to love all people. I have nothing but complete and total respect for this man. He understands that all human beings deserve equality.
His comments are heart warming and beautiful. Thank you for speaking from your soul. There are many of us that feel the same way. Its about time the bigots stand aside.
you'd think that someone whos own rights were threatened less than 50 years ago would understant the absurdidty of voting against gay mariage. And you're calling ME a nazi? YOU'RE the one who loves stripping people of their rights...
To be the mayor of an extremely conservative city like San Diego and come out in favor of gay marriage take brass ones. I wish more politicians would have the courage and the sense to express their true opinions rather than simply parroting what will get them re-relected.
The Mayor speaks from the heart, his heart, which was touched by the people around him. How can anyone, anyone, say to another person you're not worth the dirt you walk on? I don't get people like that. I don't get how people shamelessly manipulate the Bible to discriminate against others. Why must a person be demonized for his/her biological makeup? We need more heterosexuals like the man in this video to express their support of us and our rights. We've all got to give our support.
48% voted NO on prop 8 so it s only a matter of time ... society evolves with time and IT WILL (already has anyway) regarding this issue just like it did for other issues that bathed in nonsense . Have a nice day everyone : ))))
Marriage is a word and words have meaning, sometimes legal meaning.The sides have every right to fight for the change amending or elimination of it's current meaning. Marriage is the very embodiment of heterosexuality and is symbolic of the undeniable biological factors of procreation. I do not understand when other avenues would afford homosexual unions all of the same rights why they chose to clone themselves as hetero.Seems better for the children and everyone if they celebrated difference
I see the mayor's chabe of heart.....something touched much stronger then his principles.....it is his gay daughter, Lisa. Very understandable, very politically correct. This situation putSteve Young in a quandry as well....his wifeis understandably sympathetic to gay issues, as her brother is gay. Then you have Jerry Brown, who flipped to posture himself better to run for governor. Marriage is a state sanctioned religious ordinance, hence, itis under constant attach, like prayer in school.

The Bible's version of love is different than homosexual love.
To love does not mean to condone/accept sin and not speak out against what is wrong.
"If ye love me keep my commandments" - Jesus
The only marriage Christ mentioned was between a man and woman... he said "for this reason a MAN shall leave his mother and father (not dad & dad) and cleave unto his WIFE.
The Bible labels homosexual relations as "unseemly" and then says that love is not "unseemly"
Well a majority of the voters supported slavery, and we accepted the will of the people in another apparently bible-condoned offense against civil rights for hundreds of years. A majority does not denote moral rectitude. But luckily, much to the chagrin of the Christian Moral Majority, once my generation assumes political power it will quickly become a non-issue.
Actually the 13,14,15, and 24th amendments give black rights.
3/4+ of the states agreed to this..
The Bible does not condone slavery...
You are running out of time... all you are proving is that wickedness is increasing and soon the Second Coming of Jesus will happen and all the wicked who were prideful and would not repent will be slashed and correctly punished for their pride...
Every knee will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord...

You breeder goyim are clinically insane and should be either enslaved or slaughtered. If Hitler had killed you instead of the Jews he would be a hero.
I get all fuzzy inside when I see the mayor here declare he was totally wrong in supporting prop 8. He was have been knocked off his mule or hit by lightening.......maybe he saw angel? Maybe......just maybe.....he realized it might be political suicide to support prop 8? Maybe his petty public career is more important then doing the right thing?
Outrage! Public officials don't do this ....they are way above that, they have principles! Just look at John Edwards! Look at Gov. Blogavich!
NO!He is a coward for not standing on principleg.How about we eliminate "marriage" and just proclaim the "State" ordinance a civil union"? No more so called "discrimination"...right? Then if you are religious, do your thing in your church, such as the mormon temple.
Everyone fine with this? Of course not.....because then blubbering queers would demand a temple or church "marriage". What queers really want is to force the community to embrace them, tell then they are "okay" with God. Dream on!
its so good to see people opening their minds and letting go of hate and ignorance. Its a good day for this man I think, he took a stand when it might not be the popular thing to do, but he did what IS right, and what will eventually be accepted as so. You cant stop the wind of change

You can laugh all you want. I can tell people like you are simply uncomfortable with homosexuality. You are so totally guarded by this silly discomfort and fear that you can't even rationalise your emotions, let alone exercise any sort of selflessness. I don't care how uncomfortable or troubled or afraid you are of gays, it's none of your bloody business what happens in other people's personal lives. Kudos to Sanders for recognising this and having the balls to admit he was wrong.
Pigeon droppings, imagineman9. You just make it up as you go along. Marriage between men has been around since classical Greece & the Roman empire. It has existed in cultures all over the world, in every time, on every continent throughout recorded history. Face reality and grow up.

I think you meant sex between men has been around since classical Greece & the Roman empire. Yep, and it is why they fell and you only have ruins to show that they even existed.
I have yet to see a marriage between two men depicted in those ruins. They married women to createe more little boys to seduce.
Succumbing to what? The laws of nature? Homosexuality has been observed by scientists in 80% of all species of animals and birds in existence. Look it up. That is the law of nature. You are perverting the laws of nature due to your own personal prejudice and you will receive your reward for that.
"Homosexuality has been observed by scientists in 80% of all species of animals and birds in existence."
Yep, they also eat their own feces and their young. I don't think I want to pass a law to legitimize that behavior either.That is what separates humans from animals.
Your don't seem to understand that there is a logic gap in your reasoning. Animals procreate the same way humans do. yet you seem to find that no fault with that behavior. The conclusions you've drawn are based on prejudice, not reason. It's pointless to discuss this subject with you in a reasonable manner, because you're overly emotional and don't use facts. Buh-by.
Have you even read your bible, ThanksVeterans? If you had, you would know that the bible doesn't define marriage at all, and condones plural marriage. The most destructive forces threatening marriage are divorce and adultery, yet there are few laws preventing either. More marriages are destroyed by divorce than all other reasons combined. That would seem to indicate that these are your own personal beliefs and have nothing to do with the facts.
do not deny the equality we all deserve. to live under the beautiful flag that sways as a symbol of freedom & yet still it still mocks us. man an woman do not define marriage, its a mutual bond that should not be broken between two souls. no governmental system should deny this. just as our former courageous citizens from the near past, i too have a dream that we can shatter the stereotypical views of this blind and unjust country. that someday equality can stand for what it should. FUCK PROP H8
Way to go Mayor. I'm sorry it's taken me more than four months to see your heartfelt speech. Talk about a media black-out. There's no reason that any committed couple should be denied the protections of civil marriage.
Change the word "gay" to "negro," "Jew,' or "female" and you get an idea of what this is about. Each of these groups had to fight for rights that white heterosexual males are granted at birth. Those rights were not given up easily. Each time powerful majorities fought viciously to deny full citizenship to ordinary people. Some people refuse to learn the lessons that history teaches,
You're mistaken, UseYourBrainz. I already *have* the right to be a pervert. What I'd like is the right to enter into civil contracts just like the tax-paying, fully adult, and competent citizen I am.
yo the state has always had the authority to define marriage, it has done it before and if the people want it to it will do it again.
fuck you boomers, keep fighting, in the end you will approach the dark abyss of death knowing that you have lost this fight and that your children have won
Dont get me wrong, I was not suggesting that Madison WAS talking about gay people or doing anything but laying out a 'prescription for liberty', more specificaly as it was related to representation btwn the states.
When I said 'We dont limit the scope of equality to reflect the time in which it was concieved, but we work instead to advance it towards a time in which it is acheived', I thought I made that point clear. But nothing can be so clear as to change a mind that doesnt want to change.
This is truly heartwarming...he wears his heart on his sleeve. As a loving father, Mayor Sanders can see through all the bogus discrimination of gay people and make the right decision. It's all about love...
People that display such obvious ignorance and support a ban on equal marriage at the same time are doing more to further the cause of gay rights than any of us could ever hope to accomplish.
Excuse me. By reading your profound as wise answers I can tell that you´re a VERY educated person. What´s you degree on? I mean, you go from Histoy to Sociology to Political Sciences and even Psycology. I´m totally impressed and moved to bow "before thy Majesty."

That is true! A man can learn and grow and admit he was wrong. However, in this case he simply relented by his daughter is gay! That is not "learning, growing, and admitting one was wrong", that is cowardice at its worst!
Be a man and stand for your "true values and convictions" even if it goes against your daughter! Had that been me, I would have still loved my daughter, but maintain my belief that marriage is between a man and a woman! That's being a real man!

So what is your opinion on this issue? Should gay people be forced you are saying to marry straight people to get the same benefits thats straights get? The simple fact is not in the eyes of god but in the eyes of this government--this country these people are entitled to the same benefits and rights as you (if you are married have). You may also wish to ask yourself how this effects you? The answer is it does not.

How does it affect me? It affects everyone as there is no such thing as "gay marriage". It is a perversion of what our Creator established when He create "Male & Female" and united them as the first married couple.
Gays cannot procreate so the world will die out according to their own logic and false belief in evolution.
You sound very young and inexperience and thus you think that destroying the family is no big deal. When you become a "man", you will understand better!

Got ya!! U can not defend your opinion without bringing god into this debate. You are right if the whole world was gay the race would stop. But so would it with Priests so should we outlaw then too? I am a man my friend. I believe that this is the land of the free and also of seperation of church and state. Your religion is FAR more of a choice then these people being gay-- I assure you. If you choose ot believe in a invisible man in the sky that is your choice--do not force it on others.

You didn't get me. God is all over this debate because marriage is "His" institution, not the government's! You know in your heart that for a man to be Sodomized by another man is just plain perverted. Try women, I rpomise you will like them better!

I do prefer women but I also understand homosexuality as I work with 2 of them. Tell me at what age did you "choose" to be straight? When did you say " I choose women over men?" U did not did U? And neither did these people. Thats fine. If marriage is a institution of god then get the government out of it all together--( no more benefits). Cause see gays pay taxes too and they are citizens. And they are being told they are below others. They are entitled to the same benefits.

You prefer women because God gave you an affinity towards women! Guess what? That decision was made when you were conceived in your Mother's womb!
If if one were to buy into the notion/theory that a person's orientation is off for whatever reason, there can be no doubt that one must still make a choice as to whether they are going to act on their impusle!
What we obviously know is that there is a clear and distinct difference between a Man and a Woman! Of that, there can be no doubt!
SouthernGent55 2 years ago
A) Since when does anybody remember their conscious thoughts from when they were toddlers, let alone fetuses?
B) Even if it's a choice whether or not to act on an impulse, that doesn't change the fact that the impulse was, at some level, a natural part of their body.
C) There are clear and distinct differences between the races too. Black men are more similar in the 22 autosomes to black women than they are to white men. Should interracial marriage restrictions be brought back?

Marriage is a word and words have meaning, sometimes legal meaning.The sides have every right to fight for the change amending or elimination of it's current meaning. Marriage is the very embodiment of heterosexuality and is symbolic of the undeniable biological factors of procreation. I do not understand when other avenues would afford homosexual unions all of the same rights why they chose to clone themselves as hetero.Seems better for the children and everyone if they celebrated difference

I see the mayor's chabe of heart.....something touched much stronger then his principles.....it is his gay daughter, Lisa. Very understandable, very politically correct. This situation putSteve Young in a quandry as well....his wifeis understandably sympathetic to gay issues, as her brother is gay. Then you have Jerry Brown, who flipped to posture himself better to run for governor. Marriage is a state sanctioned religious ordinance, hence, itis under constant attach, like prayer in school.

The Bible's version of love is different than homosexual love.
To love does not mean to condone/accept sin and not speak out against what is wrong.
"If ye love me keep my commandments" - Jesus
The only marriage Christ mentioned was between a man and woman... he said "for this reason a MAN shall leave his mother and father (not dad & dad) and cleave unto his WIFE.
The Bible labels homosexual relations as "unseemly" and then says that love is not "unseemly"

We live in a democracy. Right now, a majority of voters (not all of which are Christians) for many reasons voted against gay marriage.
Alas, after a fair election in which Hollywood and the Liberal Media did all it could to influence voters, you can not accept the will of the people.
If everybody behaved like you, all laws would mean nothing because we would not accept them.
JavierCA2008 3 years ago
Well a majority of the voters supported slavery, and we accepted the will of the people in another apparently bible-condoned offense against civil rights for hundreds of years. A majority does not denote moral rectitude. But luckily, much to the chagrin of the Christian Moral Majority, once my generation assumes political power it will quickly become a non-issue.

Have you even read your bible, ThanksVeterans? If you had, you would know that the bible doesn't define marriage at all, and condones plural marriage.

That would seem to indicate that these are your own personal beliefs and have nothing to do with the facts.

Dont get me wrong, I was not suggesting that Madison WAS talking about gay people or doing anything but laying out a 'prescription for liberty', more specificaly as it was related to representation btwn the states.
When I said 'We dont limit the scope of equality to reflect the time in which it was concieved, but we work instead to advance it towards a time in which it is acheived', I thought I made that point clear. But nothing can be so clear as to change a mind that doesnt want to change.
