Same-Sex Marriage - The Next Generation

[Stevie2Sxc]

kids are meant to be confused. if kids never got confused they'd never learn anything!

[jte2457]

What are you going to say when your son or daughter is "GAY". are you going to stop loving them? If you say YES thats a lie.

[mikeyrobins022585]

well they chose to be gay and are making a bad choice, and yes it is a CHOICE.

[AnimazementStar]

I only got the gist of that because I couldn't understand most of what those kids were saying. O_o

[halomanic21]

Oh WOW. Im straight, but this is entire bullshit.

[mordredt02]

Homophobia isn't about protecting the next generation. It's just another reason why the older generations need to die out.

[alx64uzumaki]

these kids are confused because of homophobes, not gays.

[icgretethe]

Lame. Homophobia is no reason to ban gay marriage.

[uare2cute]

Lol: if my dad married a man, who would be my mom?

[chuckbear]

LMAO this is why Christians make me laugh

ok here's a thought, give me one LOGICAL explanation as to why Gays can not have marriage? and here's the tough part DON'T USE THE BIBLE

[bkisme]

vote yes to keep it that way?

more like vote yes to take the rights of gay couples away.

I can honestly care less if gays have the right to marry. I start to care when churches decide to get involved in political issues.

[bookcreator]

I know, I thought the US separated church and state a long time ago.... I guess not, considering this heavy battle about gay marriage. There's no legal reason that has been opted to why gays shouldn't marry, just quotes from the Bible.

[cookietoad21]

"They'll teach our children a new way of thinking!"

OHMYGOD. OHMYGOD, THIS IS AWFUL. HOWEVER WILL WE SURVIVE IF OUR CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT ACCEPTANCE?! GET THE PITCHFORKS, FOLKS.

[dontjump666]

Using kids for this kind of things is just lame. And that was the only thing they did. LAME -_-"

[carlasue88]

this is disgusting

[shvalets]

Thank you, Jakeof5. I am looking forward to hell.

The only thing I have to say is

Ignorance=war

[Fiorwestcoast]

love is love and gay people excist on this planet just the same eventually through evolution we wont have to worry about this....in less than 50 years gay people will adopt all the same get married blah blah blah...its just tradition thats holding us as human beings back from doing whats right. i wish i could telepot the people who make these vids into the future and see how ignorant they truly are. Its no different from in the 50's when whites couldnt marry black people. very sad indeed...

[RoseEEOE]

Ban protections of unpopular families and their children!!! Ban the execution of their religious and cultural beliefs (because of the religious beliefs of others)!!! Yes on 8!!!

[Imaginefree69]

I've been married for 35 years

to my best friend, lover, and wife.

It's been the greatest joy of my life

and I want everyone to have that opportunity.

I live in Canada, where gay marriage is perfectly legal,

and I assure you that gay marriage has not cost me a thing.

Gay marriage has not diminished my marriage one bit.

I hope many, many gay people AND straight people

experience the stability and refuge and joy

that marriage has brought to my life.

[ldsteencenter]

I agree that anyone...straight or gay...teaching little children to hate is evil. I would also say that assuming all straights are doing that is pretty ridiculous.

[mordredt02]

Straights are evil. They teach little children to hate us.

[ma7799]

@mordredt02

Gays are evil; they spread AIDS, burn churches, and are willing to alter society to feel better about their deviant lifestyle.

[alx64uzumaki]

@ma7799 alter society to feel better about their deviant lifestyle? Are you for real? More like to have the right to marry. Yeah that will make them feel better, or at least equal.

[LiberalPrincess]

lol this is ridiculous.

[Jakeof5]

To all gays:

if you're going to hell, i don't see how hell can get any worse than the place you live now.

i'm really sorry about this garbage.

[TiaMichelle]

Intriguing how they also take a shot at evolution while they're at it...I think that speaks volumes.

[Irishuwerehere]

So, teaching children new things is bad? Haha! We can just forget supporting the schools then? :P Well, that is what the Republicans want anyway, take funding away from school, to give to the ludicrous war, while Obama gives hope to those of us struggling to pay for college. love the hypocritical statements.

[NavajoJoe66]

This video is a load of hateful garbage. There is no excuse using children in propaganda like this. Shame on eveyone involved in making this hateful trash.

[ldsteencenter]

Actually, 1. Republicans tend to support education as one of their highest priorities. 2. I don't think anyone is against teaching children new things, but it completely depends on who is teaching and what they are teaching. I am in public education and there is no way I would trust these teachers to teach my children morality. Absolutely no way. I want to teach that without the teachers influence. 3. Using the children is not propaganda if you children are the reason this issue is important.

[RhythmChef]

I agree 100%

[Jakeof5]

geeze, once again to the gay people reading this:

when you move onto the afterlife, you're not going to hell. You'll be leaving hell.

i hope that puts a smile on your face.

Happy Holidays everyone

[yo1o2eggs]

Maybe we should change the way we teach kids. Then maybe gay teen suicides would decline. Kids killing kids would stop. Their self esteem would go up. If your god created Adam and Eve...but they had Cain and Able?  Who propagated the rest of the world? hmmm?

[shadowlink220]

the hell?

that wouldn't happen if same sex marriage is aloud all that would happen is 2 men or 2 woman can marrie each other if you don't like it then ignore it say it dosen't exsit pretend like it is not there and never will be but still let it be there so that way every one can be happy

[rodgierad]

The children are confused because they haven't had enought time to rehearse the lines fed to them by the proselytizing nuts who needed to get the ad out as fast as possible. I'm thinking they were also encouraged to look sort of stupid and cute.

Urgh.

[iamwhy]

these children are confused because you teach them lessons of hate towards people different then yourself.

[rushrox777]

WAit wait wait wait...How was he born if his dad married a man.??These adds make no sense at all...And prob has notting to do with children!!

[loraly53]

why is a large percentage of people in san francisco gay? shouldn't that explain it all? If that's not messed up then....!

[marlenehrr]

The children is what worries me. They'll be the ones suffering if gays end up getting what they want! I hope the judges respect the votes from the election and decide to keep Prop. 8!

[iamwhy]

what happens to the children if gays are allowed to marry? answer me that, what harm is done to them?

[lilsteller]

What it does is more harm to their natural evolution when they see overgrown drag queens who act like 2 year old spoilded children marrying in wed and gown in front of their poor little eyes.

[ldrc23]

wow way to stereotype gay people. Has anyone thought about what will actually happen to the children - the children of gay parents, now that you have taken their marriage away? How are these children going to be affected now that thousands of rights were taken away from their parents, and ultimately, them too...that's what's sad.

[RhythmChef]

as a child their brains are developing and they are constantly learning everything from how to interact with others to what is right and wrong. If they are exposed to gay marriage and having parents of the same gender they will believe that that is how they should behave as well (because that is what they learned or what they were exposed to) basically, if they see their daddies kissing, they will learn to kiss other little boys...don't you see a problem in that?

[iamwhy]

You have proof that if kids see two men kiss they will want to kiss other boys?? So when a child plays a video game where they kill another man, do they believe that they should kill another man in real life?

[DontTouchMyTea]

What is so bad about a boy kissing another boy?

[dontjump666]

Firstly, no, I don't see a problem in that; and secondly, seeing someone behave a certain way WON'T make you behave the same way -_-" Does hanging around tall people make you tall? Not the same thing, huh? Well, take this - both my parents are heavy smokers and have been since my birth. On the other hand, I've never even had the desire to even so much as light a single cigarette, and I've been watching them smoke for 16 years. So, there you go.

[iamwhy]

@RhythmChef  You need an education about homosexuality because you are just pulling crap out of your ass. If you knew a thing about being gay you would never put such a comment on youtube

[buddy51]

Ugh...Jacob had two wives and Solomon 700..explain THAT to your kids!

[Ratraccoon]

who do these ignorant bigoted people think they are imposing their views on others? They are quickly becoming the most hate mongering people in America. It's not ok to force people to see it their way unless it's their views. Yes that's right h8ers I'm talking about you. When will you get it through your thick heads that this is no longer about civil rights anymore it's about forcing people to redefine the definition of marriage. Attacking an old lady for standing up is all about "tolerance".

[Ratraccoon]

I have noticed that a large portion of h8ers are atheists that say that religion has no place in government what so ever. Yet most religions teach that marriage is between a man and a woman. The whole point of separation of church and state was so there was no official religion. In a way atheism is in a way becoming a another intolerant religion that says that their beliefs are correct and anyone who believes in a higher being is an idiot and therefore not allowed to have a say in politics.

[RockinElves]

Hey, I'm a lesbian and I consider myself the next generation...so uhh...

No on 8.

[scoobydoopikachu]

lol this is fucken stupid. NO on prop 8

[Godslilredhed]

you do know if your parents had been gay you wouldn't be here to say that.....

[Gnickk]

If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bus.

[kobekinzproductionz]

ya wooo hooo yes on 8!!!!

[pepperrrr]

oh please

I was taught that discrimination was wrong in elementary school. I would be more confused about why we can discriminate against one group of people but not any other group of people. I've lived in California my whole life, I attended public school till 6th grade and I'm still in school, never have I been taught that theres a specific way of marriage.

[oxoxMusicxisxlifexox]

It makes me angry that they use children like toiletpaper when i comes to these ads.And what if one of those children in the ad would grow up to be gay,shouldn`t they deserve the same rights as straight people?Hate is not a family value,vote NO on prop 8!

[Forkboy193]

oh noez. New and fresh ways of thinking. LETS HAVE A RIOT!!!!!

[HopeRanchRain]

there is no proof to say that children of same sex couples turn out worse or have lower self esteems, in fact one study shows that children of two women turned out better adjusted than most children

any couple can be qualified, and any couple can we unqualified, regardless of both parties' gender

[dansoel]

Same-sex marriage infers that neither a mom nor a dad matter. Is it good to teach boys that their role as a husband or father in the family is not needed? Is it right to intentionally deny a child his/her mother or father? How do same-sex couples answer their child's question, "Where do babies come from?"

[cryan71]

This has nothing to do with the marriage of two gay people.

Many of them won't be raising children. And the ones who do, who are you to decide what is right or wrong for their children. What a busy body!

[kerikaibacutie]

I agree Cryan! I was raised by a woman who was in love with another woman! Children don't really ask "Who's my Daddy?" or "Who's my mommy?" Besides, what if you were AFRAID of the opposite sex?! Same-sex couples aren't born gay or Lezbian, they're created that way by steriotypes and misunderstandings. they are also forced into that mentality by members of the OPOSITE sex because of abuse or things of the like... And dansoel, learn before you speak... they CAN answer: Where do Babies come from...

[pepperrrr]

the facts of life don't change just because you have two mom or two dads. What about adopted children? Their parents didn't have sex to create them either. So I don't understand your point. If your point was valid, then having one mom or one dad or being raised by your grandparents or foster parent would be denial of a child's rights too.

[sddude82]

CITE SOURCES, otherwise you have no credibility. Your choice to wait proves the inevitable point that you cannot. and with your non cited statistics you forgot to mention what the 2% and 14% were of.......... You are missing half your logic including your main point. Sorry TRY AGAIN. VOTE NO ON PROP 8

[sddude82]

oops slight error, my first post Tublilist, third word should be "off" not "of"

[tubilist]

The best gift you can give a child is a bioligical father and mother that love each other.

This gay adoption thing is a sweet deadly poison.

[cryan71]

Constitutional amendments should be used to expand freedom, not restrict it, Coretta Scott King said Tuesday.

"Gay and lesbian people have families, and their families should have legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union," she said. "A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages."

MLK had top advisers who were gay.

Bigotry is not a black value.

[tubilist]

Coretta Scott King dies in January 2006. How can she be speaking on Tuesday ?

[cryan71]

It's a quote from USA Today in 2004

[fumagalopoly]

Regular marriage isn't taught in schools so why would gay marriage be taught? All these Yes on 8 ads and arguments are nothing more than terrible lies and bullshit.

[bl4ckd0g187]

well, these people are paranoid. they think that this will somehow turn their kids gay, and they can't have that; they want to disown their children for some other reason.

california parents have the right to remove their child from any lesson they feel is 'innapropriate.' so it wouldn't matter anyway.

and why are out-of-state interests funding this, anyway?

[tubilist]

Much more out of state money is coming in for NO on 8

Parents should not worry all the time about removing their children from homosexual, transgender propaganda etc... teachings.

The schools should be the one removing this garbage from their classrooms.

[sddude82]

These kids learned more about same-sex marriage from the existence of Prop 8. They have a more cardinal knowledge now. Who's fault is this? Don't take away my rights because your PROP 8 is what taught your kids about my culture, my right to marry whom I choose never would have impacted your kids as much as your PROP 8 has!!!

[chizazz3c]

if you truly let these kids speak their minds and NOT give them a dialogue or script to memorize, you would see that they are probably a lot more open minded than you think! "It's Elementary" is a documentary that should be seen by people who are voting yes on prop 8, who use children as the main reason why it should be allowed to pass. Please consider it, because these children may give you a different point of view.

[wwithlovee]

VV

yeah I know those stupid catholic orphanages

we could save soo much money by shutting them down!

I mean sucks your parents died but it doesn't mean I have to pay for it, right?

this is ridiculous. Think before you speak.

[bl4ckd0g187]

anne and eve? wasn't it adam and steve? well, I guess he created a lesbian couple and a gay couple, and then they turned out to be bisexual, and.....

a new definition of family? what the fuck do I care? family as it is is a false ideal. if a gay couple were better suited than a straight couple to raise children, I say we give the orphans to the gay couple.

[hotblondie111]

California made history by putting the history of gay Americans' struggle for civil rights in the same sphere as earlier American struggles by women, African-Americans, Jews and others who have faced discrimination. Please join justice for ALL and make history in California by voting NO ON 8, don't let Mormons fool you with their ads, they are using innocent kids to get your vote, its called fear tactic! Vote NO on HATE! CA won't allowed ONE religion to tell us how to live our life! VOTE NO ON 8

[mike2jb]

GuilelessMom says: "Marriage is NOT a RIGHT."

You're technically right, Mom. Legally, marriage is a CONTRACT. But only certain people have the RIGHT to enter into that contract. Prop 8 removes that RIGHT from one specific group of citizens who presently have it.

Frankly, Mom, most folks don't need that explanation. They understand full well that you absolutely DO want to revoke RIGHTS--no matter what wording you use.

Don't eliminate marriage for ANYONE.

Vote NO on Prop 8.

[bl4ckd0g187]

nicely put. it's my state, if I want to let homosexuals get married in my state, that's MY DAMNED BUSINESS. supposedly, the group who funded this campaign is from arizona; what the fuck are they doing trying to tell me what my state should do?

[ibreedh8]

LMAO, the irony of the situations is your whoring your kids, making them say those things that you don't want them to learn from "us" Its funny because your the ones confusing them. Your the ones exposing them for your own benefit to the very thing you deem not good for them.

[ILuvColinFirth]

I'm voting YES on Prop 8

[sddude82]

ILuvColinFirth

Do you even know what you are voting on?

[eddyw14]

someone needs to talk to thing kids and explain the differenece between religion and the real world. NO ON PROP 8.

[GuilelessMom]

Proposition 8 does not take away anyone's right to love or to have commitments.  Marriage is NOT a RIGHT. Homosexuality will be taught in schools and churches will face loss of tax exemption. This is already happening in another state. It is naive to think otherwise. It's one thing to disagree with whether homosexuality being taught is ok or not, but to say it WON'T be taught is untrue.

I will vote Yes on Prop 8.

[bl4ckd0g187]

"Homosexuality will be taught in schools and churches will face loss of tax exemption."

-how do you teach someone homosexuality?

-and who the fuck said churches and mosques (same damn thing) deserve tax exemption? do you have ANY idea how much tax money we could soak out of these 'non-profit' organizations? deists founded this country; most deists probably couldn't care less if gays are allowed to marry (I certainly don't have any problem with it).

[sddude82]

GuilelessMom,

Your support of Prop 8 has already taught your kids about same-sex marriage and your right to discriminate. How will you feel someday when a member of your family or extended family or a friend can not get marry because of your poor decision for lack of education on the topic. RESEACH the entire story in MA, I dare you. I hope one of your children grows up to be Gay or Lesbian and they learned about same-sex topic from PROP 8 just to teach you how wrong you are. VOTE NO ON 8

[tubilist]

Children raised in gay household are 7 times more likely to be gay or bisexual.

Keep doing what you are doing and spread homosexuality and despair

[sddude82]

Tubilist, right of you are an idiot.... and I am being nice.

First of all that is not true, and with out doing research I can say this. Seven times is an erroneous number to compare children of SS couples to Straight couples. That would be like me saying SS couple children were seven times more likely to do better in school. Again, erroneous number. But I can say fact extensive studies have shown in many cases SS couple children have done better in school.

Second: You cite no sources.

[sddude82]

Therefore, because you cite no sources, and have and erroneous number that you can not prove because I am sure that is an outrageous number to pull out of your rear end and say that is why I can say you are an idiot. I want FACT backed by sources and studies not opinion from someone with no research and no expertise on the subject (Credibility). Anyone who would believe "Children raised in gay household are 7 times more likely to be gay or bisexual." is just as much of an idiot

[tubilist]

Research shows that homosexuality increases to 14% from 2% in homes where children are raised by homosexuality. It does make much sense. I did post the source before on youtube. I do not have time at the moment but will bring it out after the elections

In terms of school home schoolers have the highest grades then private schools then public schools. I will not fight with you that some studies may show that some kids raised by ss couple have done well in schools.

IQ is one part of a person

[cryan71]

tubilist, are you really just going to lie like that?

[lordinti]

To Voters in California: I am and 18 year old gay young man living in Los Angeles County, i have 2 accepting parents and a loving boyfriend. If Prop 8 Fails homosexuality will NOT be taught in Schools. and churches will NOT loose Tax exemption. Proposition 8 is about REMOVING rights, it will take away the RIGHT that I have in the state of California to get married to the man I love. Are you willing to take away the rightr for us as a people to be happy? Vote NO on Prop 8 california!

[bl4ckd0g187]

churches won't lose tax exemption? but I don't WANT them to have tax exemption..... well, I'm voting NO anyway. it doesn't bother me; I'd rather live next to a satisfied homosexual couple than an unsatisfied heterosexual couple; too much fighting....

[osmiolos]

I think it is imperative that we do NOT change the definition of hallmarks of society every time a few a few activist judges want to take a swipe at society.

[cryan71]

Actually you can blame the lawyers who decided to combine a seperate case challenging the right of gays to marry with the Prop 22 lawsuit, this is why the decision of the 4 Republican judges had to make that decision the way it came down. The Prop 22 lawyers made it happen.

[Budmax305]

Same Sex Marriage IS about civil rights! I saw a news story about a gay couple in Minneapolis that spent thousands of dollars to get every legal document in place: Power of Attorney, Hostpital Visitation, etc. And yet when they needed them because one became ill and was hospitalized NOT ONE LEGAL DOCUMENT WORKED because they weren't married. It didn't matter to the staff that there was a legal form put in their face! Don't tell me that's not bigoted and discriminatory!!!!

[osmiolos]

"Same Sex Marriage IS about civil rights! "

yes, the loss of civil rights for married people and children. But I guess children don't vote so they don't matter?

[poolerboy0077]

This is about marriage not about adoption you dolt.

[osmiolos]

"This is about marriage not about adoption you dolt. "

It is about families and doing what is best for them.

It is also about stopping manipulation!

but I think you know that!

[poolerboy0077]

This has nothing to do with families. This issue has been spun around to make it seem as though somehow heterosexual marriages are going to crumble somehow as a result of someone else's union. It isn't. If you don't approve of homosexuals marrying then you shouldn't marry a homosexual.

[osmiolos]

"This has nothing to do with families"

this issue has EVERYTHING to do with families.

look at what is going on in the societies that have changed the definition of marriage!

[poolerboy0077]

Can you provide evidence that shows some type of harm was caused by the leagalization of gay marriage in these societies? I just hear people telling me it does yet for some particular reason no one is able to come up with anything. Hmm

[osmiolos]

"Can you provide evidence that shows some type of harm was caused by the leagalization of gay marriage in these societies? "

I can show you atrocities that are ONLY happening in countries where marriage is redefined, and the longer the countries have the definition of marriage redefined the worst these atrocities are becoming.

The tangential thing is that these are the same types of atrocities that are mentioned in the Bible.

[poolerboy0077]

You have yet to show me anything besides *tell* me about it.

Also, you must be very careful to show only those atrocities which you can show are the effects of the cause of gay marriage, not just a mere correlation.

[osmiolos]

"You have yet to show me anything besides *tell* me about it."

I said I CAN, I didn't say I did! GRAMMAR!

"not just a mere correlation."

obviously I can't prove causation only correlation.

Of course NO ONE has proven the HIV to AIDS causation but since the ONLY people that get AIDS are ones that have had HIV.......

[poolerboy0077]

You're not understanding anything of what I'm saying. If you want to show me evidence of how other societies have fallen because of gay marriage you'll need to do more than simply a mere correlation of, say, higher crime, etc. But I'm still waiting. Oh wait, you have none because your side is full of crap.

[osmiolos]

"But I'm still waiting. Oh wait, you have none because your side is full of crap. "

I keep trying but I spend my time responding to these swipes, these hollow attempts at wishing on your part!

[poolerboy0077]

This conversation's over. You obviously cannot back up your assertions. Your argument stems not from science or reason but from religious piety, bigotry, and gullibility.

[osmiolos]

"Your argument stems not from science or reason but from religious piety, bigotry, and gullibility"

keep telling yourself that and maybe you can convince yourself that you are on the side of good!

[bl4ckd0g187]

"This issue has been spun around to make it seem as though somehow heterosexual marriages are going to crumble somehow as a result of someone else's union."

-oh, but it will. if anne and eve are allowed to marry, then osmiolos's wife will go elope with his neighbor's wife in las vegas, having kinky lesbian sex. then his kids will turn gay, and his dog will be gay, and we'll all be really, REALLY GAY. because fairy fever is magically infectious, if you're stupid.

[ldsteencenter]

That wouldn't happen in California because civil unions are given the same rights as marriages in the areas you cited. This really is just about the name "marriage" and what it gets applied to.

[cryan71]

It's sick the way the LDS use their kids for propoganda and lies.

[osmiolos]

"It's sick the way the LDS use their kids"

there is NO need to call truth, propaganda and lies.

children don't get to vote in this country and so someone has to help their voice be heard!

[cryan71]

Thanks Helen Lovejoy, but you are, as usual, flat out wrong.

California state law specifically states that parents can have a say in what their children read or not read. For example, if I don't want my children learning anything about mormonism because my moral beliefs are that mormonism is a dangerous sin, I can do that.

[osmiolos]

"California state law specifically states that parents can have a say in what their children read or not read."

now you are twisting things to fit your own agenda....why does that sound familiar?

[cryan71]

Sorry,but california law is very specific on Parental rights in school. So the irrational view that school children will be indoctrinated about homosexuality is wrong and lie.

[osmiolos]

"Sorry,but california law is very specific on Parental rights in school. "

yeah, very specific is a relative term. But as those creationists found out, no one but the legislatives and courts dictates the curriculum.

Nice TRY!

VOTE YES Prop 8

[bl4ckd0g187]

"For example, if I don't want my children learning anything about mormonism because my moral beliefs are that mormonism is a dangerous sin, I can do that."

-can I also pull my children from that class session? for that matter, any session that might seem like propaganda for organized religion? I'm a deist; I don't want to disown my children because they've become infected.

[cryan71]

lol!

I think i was mocking what most of the "yes on 8" people say. If you take any of their arguments and replace the word gay with the word mormon, the bigotry really comes out nice and clear.

[bl4ckd0g187]

you're right. but I don't support mormon marriage. if they want to take away other people's rights, we should see how they like it.

besides, if we allow mormons to get married, we might all turn mormon.

[ldsteencenter]

This isn't an LDS ad and I don't believe that anyone in it is LDS.

[cryan71]

Yes on Marriage is the arizona group funded by mormons.

[zortnac]

Yes, Proposition 8 IS about civil rights. Don't believe the lies used by the "Yes on 8" side to try and get their measure passed.

In California all couples enjoy the same right to legal marriage, and Proposition 8, IF PASSED, will ELIMINATE THAT RIGHT for same sex couples.

This isn't about children, and there is no threat to churches or religious people. This is about preserving equality in our government.
