John Cho speaks on why he says No on Proposition 8

[Sukuraidogai]

It's a war between those who are religious and believe marriage to be a sacred bond between men and women, and of course those who disagree. It insults people deeply on both sides to even consider the alternative, though, it is thanks to our democratic society and the recent growth in atheism and such that this has even become an issue. Society is really strange in the way we bicker about silly things.

[masterplanisnoplan]

if you want to marry someone why even get permission from the state? theres the real issue, just get fuckin married.

[thiennguyenX2]

@masterplanisnoplan Well you could but if the state doesn't recognize it. Then you get no benefits from being a married citizen. Hospital visits, power over the estate should one die, tax benefits, insurance benefits, adoptive rights, should they die at war, etc.

You need consent from the Christian god to get married in this country whether you're a Christian or not ATM.

[louie540x]

@masterplanisnoplan I take it you like Ron Paul?

[jjaydeeify]

Gays aren't going to make the world suddenly die out or kill the population. Loads of gay men donate their sperm to lesbian couples so they have kids and loads of lesbians carry a child for a gay couple.

It's called surrogacy and loads of heterosexual couples participate in it if they are incapable of having children "naturally" but of course, that's ok! Let's not ban the heterosexual couples incapable of having children, JUST THE GAYS.

Prejudice is not the same as Miscreant ...!

Who do You Want Guard Your Little "Lambs" a Wolf or the Shepard...?

[rockos414]

@chachapc007 Is this a riddle, or pure stupidity?

[ibanez3000]

Jon cho can deepthroat an eggroll, and sit on a road cone making it disappear

[BroadCastTuber]

@ibanez3000 you're quite a fag for thinking about that and typing it down. QUEER

[IconicBellezza]

@ibanez3000 immature. 

[chilosito]

Bottom line is , LIVE AND LET LIVE......Stop worrying about everyone elses bedroom and keep your own clean

[TheMuziekmann]

@chilosito hehe you said "bottom"

[ballin0like0buddha]

How could anyone think that prop 8 is discriminatory?!? Prop 8 is about bringing an end to DISCRIMINATING against homosexuals! They've got it ass backwards as usual. These hypocrites are walking oxymorons.

[MManuRere]

Prop 8 legally instituted the heterosexual-supremacist version of marriage. Marriages performed by my religion are now only valid if they meet the standards of the fundamentalist Christians.

[azira031184]

i just dont understand gay...

they ruining thier next generation...i mean..kids..don't they wanna have kids of their own..natural way of course..dont he want to be grandparents someday..

[ballin0like0buddha]

gays are ruining the next generation because they can't have children naturally? are you suggesting that the next generation is at risk of being ruined by being too small?? there's a HUGE risk of the next generation OVERpopulating the world you fucking idiot.

[azira031184]

you're an idiot...if everyone want to be gay than there is no one to populate the world pysco..go and see a doctor..cause you are mentally ill..moron

[ballin0like0buddha]

yeah your right, if gay marriage were allowed to pass then obviously everyone would just spontaneously turn gay and then there would be no one to populate the world with!

do you see anything wrong with this line or reasoning?

[azira031184]

i see you the next perez hilton

[pdonyin0]

I don't understand your comment though, I mean there were also gay people back then, just that they choose to remain silent. If people just reproduce and not be happy with their partner then whats the point. That means more divorced parents and unhappy kids. You think just because more people are revealing to be gay that straight people will also turn gay. Being gay is not a fashion scene, you can't teach someone to be sexually attracted to the same sex.

[pdonyin0]

Even if they pretend to be gay, if they're straight, they they'll still want to be with the opposite sex. Also about the population, its not like we'll go into extinction soon, and with technologies like today, people can get kids with their dna or by some sort of surrogate mother. Yes thats not natural, so is using advanced medicine or replacing an organ or two. Why do they need to have the actual sex to have kids?

[Zedfragg]

@Azira031184

Just because there are homosexuals in the world doesn't mean people will just STOP giving birth and you say "if everyone want to be gay than there is no one to populate the world" well firstly get some fucking help with Grammar...Christ...

Secondly you make it sound like homosexuals are taking over the world!

They are just people with different tastes thats all and there'll always be straight people as well.

They ain't Nazi's you moron!

Besides...Humans could do with extinction!

[cosmeticnerd]

THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GAYS, YOU just didnt know it. sry sweetheart, its intolerant ppl like you who are ruining the next generation.

i might be right, but the next gerneration is usually more open minded and tolerant than the previous according to history.

are you saying we should get rid of disabled people and couples who cant naturally have children? what about all the orphans who still need a loving home?

[azira031184]

well sweetie..you just make moral going down the drain..

[cosmeticnerd]

actually...i think it was already going down bc of people like you.

i was taught to love, not to hate.

[ruddip]

gay marriage isn't about RIGHTS!! saying so is just an angle to garner support for gays to marry one another!! what a crock!

[phantomwaltz]

eloquent =P

[wonderful4life]

Thanks John!

NO NO to PROP 8

[Isabella8466]

Thank you John ... looking forward to next year and the California Supreme Court decisions.

[CHEKPNT]

If anyone here knows anything about prop 8 not just what you "think" it means...I doubt you would say Prop 8 is discriminatory or has anything to do with pending civil rights. Please go ahead email me and ill explain everything to you and pls don't be defensive everything will be base on fact with primary sources.

[alpinestarlet]

Nicely done. John is absolutely right. He says elsewhere that Prop 8 sets "a dangerous legal precedent." That really cuts to the heart of the issue.  It's a legal matter, not a moral one. John Cho, you rock my socks.

[emr2e]

Well said!

[NOtoPROP8]

Thank you for speaking out. Every voice is needed in fighting this harmly proposition.

VOTE NO on PROP 8
