thank you ms. garett for setting the record striaght :) God Bless
they should've played this as a commercial during the campaign and if some people try to overturn prop 8 then those defending marriage should use this as a commercial.
Now, that is a smart woman who speaks the truth from experiences & I thank you! Vote Yes Prop8 & the people of California won & let us all move on. And thoes who are allowed to keep their marriage certificates, go ahead & enjoy life & benefits while you can.
BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One group of people gets their rights then turns right around and denies rights to another. How sad.
Perhaps this narrator and the woman speaking don't realize that it was the COURTS that helped to secure their equality. Now, they don't want the courts doing the same for others. Disgusting.
Abraham Lincoln rejected the social equality of the races, but we respect and admire his revolutionary efforts that laid the foundation for the eventual civil rights movement; and we recognize that at the time he lived, racial equality was too radical an idea. Dr. King's leadership was in the spirit of what Lincoln had started. I'm certain that Dr. King would not have agreed with gay rights, but I believe it is in the spirit of what he started. Gays don't "hijack" the movement; it inspires them.
If children need both a mother & father, then what the are you doing banning same-sex marriage rather than banning single parent houselholds, outlawing divorce, and preventing marriages of convenience? Why not ban Jews and Muslims from marrying since they don't follow your traditions? Jesus sided with the adulterers and forgave them, not those who persecuted them and falsely claimed the rightesouness of heaven. You have lost your humility and are a sham messenger. Take your golden calf back.
Dear Gay community..You will not bully the media you will not bully the people and certainly will not bully the parents. Prop 8 is and always will be about the children. It's about protecting the children. Kids need a mommy and a daddy. Period. We will also not allow you to teach hmosexual lifestyle in our public schools. The people have spoken now deal with it. Your lifestyle is sinful and shameful. Move to massachusetts if you don't like it!this is not a civil rights issue. It's a moral issue
Prop 8 doesn't stop teachers from teaching against bigotry, which is clearly needed in this state. It's only because of other laws that already exist that you or any parent will be informed and be required your signed consent before such a thing is taught to your children. Gay adoption is also still legal. Also, the gay community is only 2% of the populace at large. Your bully adversaries are allies to gay rights, just like white folks who supported the african american civil rights movement.
Exactly what make this a moral issue? What is it that is immoral about homosexuality. If you are going to point to the bible, then recognize that not everyone agrees with your bible as a source for moral code, and for that reason we have the 1st amendment of the constitution to separate church and state.
Seriously, if the bible is a source of morality, then you should show your loyalty to god by killing your children in god's name, just like Abraham. If God won't stop you, it must be his will.
didn't you have a freind who didn't have a mom or dad becauce of a devorce or becauce his/her father deid in the war?
So if a child needs both a mother and a father then there should be a law that states that if you have children and you lose your wife/husband then you have to remarrie in a 2 weeks time.
that would be just stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
marriage is a sympol od love and nothing more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gay marriage is a Civil Rights issue. This woman is so misguided. She calls for freedom for all people, but not for gays. Maybe she has forgotten about thye past. She is now doing to gay people what has been done to her. Have you forgotten? Homophobia is like racism.
I wish I could personally thank you for coming out and articulating the major points (and debunking the civil right BS the gay lobby wants to push). Well said and well done.
What an ignorant woman. Has she forgotten? When any society says that I cannot marry a certain person, that society has cut off a segment of my freedom, -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1958.
lol funny, because the supreme court also over turned smaller courts in favor of interracial marraiges. lol do we forget that the supreme court is there in order to interprut the constitution and judge accordingly? So all of you folks saying that the supreme court didn't listen to the peoples voice should really learn how government works.
This is one of the stupidest videos I've watched on this issue. That woman, and those blacks who think like her, are incredibly selfish and narrow-minded. How dare she spout such moronic filth.
I'm pretty disgusted at this. It isn't okay to deny rights to blacks (such as myself), but it's fine to deny rights to gays and lesbians.
If we're going to stick to "traditional" marriage, we should also consider going back to other "traditional" systems, such as slavery, polygamy, gun duels to settle disputes, and witch burning. After all, tradition is important.
may god forgive you for your crime on others. I fought hard to see that Ca worked hard to get Obama elected the first black president. Bot because he is black but because his mesage was about inclusion.
I don't judge a marriage by the type of genitals two people have but by their love and commitment to each other.
A dear lesbian couple are firefighters that adopted a meth-addicted baby. He was the 7th child taken away from the married to a man meth mother. They love and care for him and each other and you people say that because one of his parents doesn't have a penis they can't be married? They are not a legit family? Yes on 8 hurts children & famil
I'm totally with you Rex and LoveKats! How dare she disagree with us! Let's keep fighting to silence dissenting opinions. What gives them the right to tell us their point of view?! These Yes on 8 people have too much freedom; it needs to be taken away, and Baal willing, it will be done so on the 4th.
How dare they try and raise their children with traditional Christian values!
Funny how the oppressive majority likes to portray themselves as victims.
Since you mentioned Christian values, I'd like to point out that Jesus never said "Fight Fags!" He did say "feed the poor." It is interesting how much money was spent by religionists to support prop 8.
Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, else he would fight. Be in the world, not of it and stop trying to fight it. Feed and clothe the poor, shelter the homeless and teach your children your values. Let the rest be.
Hey Lady - you were there huh? YOU OBVIOUSLY NEVER READ THE WRITINGS OF CORRETTA SCOTT KING! GAYS MARCHED FOR YOUR RIGHTS....YOU DISGUST ME! Religion was once USED against you! My how you've forgotten...pathetic! ..and FYI - a Black Gay man helped MLK Jr pen the "I have a dream speech"....may your God have mercy on your soul. How soon you've forgotten where YOU came from.
Marriage has never been regarded as a universal human or civil right. Loving and living with anyone one wants to live with are basic human rights. But marriage is actually a privilege that society bestows on whom it chooses.
'gay marriage', so to speak, is never about "civil rights" issue, it's about social movement twisted by activists, trying to change and experiment with the thousands-year-old-structure of traditional marriage!
Stop the California courts from creating law. These judges imposed their beliefs against an established law and a majority of Californians by trying to redefine marriage. No to judicial tyranny, YES ON 8!
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."
it grieves me more than anything else to hear black people, who know what the struggle for equality is, speaking out to deny that struggle to another minority.
wow, that's a pretty powerful statement. I think the great civil rights movement has nothing to do with gay marriage. In fact, just the opposite. Gay marriage advocates are forcing their views of morality on our society. That's not what Martin Luther King fought for. It's not what he died for. He was an American who supported freedom of choice and expression. It was his freedom of choice and expression, his freedom of speech that allowed unpopular views to be heard. Don't squash that.
