Part 2-Temari's response, Dear Yes and No on 8 Supporters

[UzumakiBarrageRox059]

whoever that 1 person that disliked this vid they better have bad aim. cuz if they don't then crap them. >:(

[xSouthParkFanx]

I know this was 3 years ago but you still have my full support! Prop 8 sucks! :(

[DoodlexMonsterr]

Both parts of this made want to cry. I agree that gay marriage should be legal in every state. It's sad to see people discriminate against people who are different. To me everyone is the same. I definitely Support gay marriage.

[sirlaughsalot1234]

@AstroMen2911 You've completely missed the point. This country has a separation of church and state. Religious belief *should* have nothing to do with what is and isn't legal. That is why any religious rhetoric regarding this topic is moot. You would be laughed out of a courtroom if you tried to use that argument.

[nekoinu]

-jealous- You're so pretty here... Especially your eyes... /off-topic

Anyway, like I said in the last video (I think) I agree with you 100%. It just boggles my mind the more I think about it... Obviously gay marriage will happen, it's already happened and is still happening. Canada hasn't been swallowed by the sea, Norway hasn't been blown off the face of the Earth, etc. I'm sure if 'God' had a problem with gay marriage, he or she would have done something to those countries by now, ya know?

[nekoinu]

@nekoinu And, of course, same-sex marriage is legal in some of the United States, as well. I don't see Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, or any of the other states in flames for allowing gay marriage? So why is it still a problem?

It shouldn't be a problem. It shouldn't be an issue. It should be legal.

And, I mean, honestly, I think what the most important thing is is the rights, right? I could tolerate calling my union (if I had one) a 'civil union' so long as the same rights were there...

[nekoinu]

but the same rights aren't there... and I'm not saying that we should have to tolerate being separate. Marriage is a word, just like any other. Definitions of words change. We can use 'gay' as an example. It originally meant 'extremely happy', but later came to mean 'morally loose' and then, 'homosexual'. Now, people use it to mean 'stupid'. Words are just letters with sounds assigned to them that we designate to anything and everything. Words aren't that important, honestly...

[nekoinu]

and Marriage has changed so much over the years. In Ancient Greece, same-sex marriage was legal. Someone told me that the love of a man was more highly regarded than the love of a woman, and the Spartan Army? Homosexual. Because a man would fight that much harder to save his lover than just a mere comrade. Yeah, the Ancient Greeks were all over same-sex marriage...

And they weren't the only ones. Many ancient cultures had no problems with same-sex unions. So, again, why is it a problem today?

[nekoinu]

(long post is long... Sorry! Maybe I should have just made a video instead...)

Someone should me an Ancient Egyptian wall painting that showed two men in what appeared to be a romantic relationship. Plus, also in Leviticus it says women on their periods are unclean, as is touching the skin of a dead pig. Guess that means we should make football illegal, huh?

Anyway, I think I'm going to stop, since I've typed so much already... Great videos, and my best wishes to you and all of Koi! ^-^

[nekoinu]

@nekoinu Okay, just wanted to post one more thing that just happened, since I found it humourous. When I clicked to post that last bit, I had to do a captcha, and the last few letters were 'blupig' which made me giggle. I'm not sure what that means, but maybe it's Youtube's way of agreeing with me...

[AstroMen2911]

The Bible does go against marriage, look to Paul

[midnightwolf513]

I'm a girl and and I have a girlfriend.I'm am completly with Tema on this.The people at me and my girlfriends school are just so hateful towards us and I'm tired of it.

[cyprokka]

i love wat ur saying and i totally agree with u but just one bit of criticism. the bible dusnt actually state ppl shudnt grow beards. i find that if u thoroughly research ur enemy, thats wen u come up with the best comebacks. iv actually read the majority of the bible even tho i deeply hate christianity, it actually teaches in the old testament that men shuould not shave their beards off or their hair. so wat u should hav sed is if u voted yes i hope ur not bald lol. otherwise i like wat u say:)

[cutiehuggiebear]

I love you. You got straight to the point and i totally agree. Why should gays not get married? People don't vote against straight couples, why do they have to go against Straight couples? THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT!

[bloodyraven16]

i support you completely. and lately i've had trouble with family because of it were not even allowed to talk about it in my home any more cause of all the fighting me and mother aren't even speaking anymore

[daughterofbodom666]

I may not live in California but i compleatly support your views. I live in England and I am a lesbian. The closest we can get to marriage is a Civil Partnership, which compleatly pails in comparison. In the future I want to meet a woman that i want to spend the rest of my life with, who I can make my wife and it compleatly sickens me that that I have to do that in a wold full of hate. In short this world is a mess and it's people like Tema who can change it. You have my support!^_^Go Tema-Chan

[HardkoreArkainy]

I agree with Tema

[jakeberry42]

i completely support u

[TheXSecondXL]

I thought also in the bible, Preist's couldn't have women. And the "gay thing is bad" is in the old testiment. Just like sacrificing animals and not having beards, just like Tema said. I LOVE YOU TEMA!!! (and denying people the right to marry is illegal, some one could go to jail for this) Gay is GOOD!!! (that's why it starts with a G)

[MabroshiBara]

My sister said the same things.

She didn't support prop 8 in the least but she did say to me , "There are so many ways to get married still available. and there are still so many ways to get those marriage rights. People want it to be simple , but if they really want to be web and have right they still can."

At least that's what I remember. . . *Laughs*

(That was before she ran off with her girlfriend , no wait , fiancee ~)

[oblivion4]

Once again, I'm really impressed :o

<3 tema.

[qlae]

you are so right about that i hate to have my sister to no be able to get merried with the gril she loves i am on your side tema!!!!

[luckycloudier]

I SUPORT

[hotstuff7137]

I think it's great you made this video, so people can really realize they are important even if they're just one person/

[quarterhorses4life]

go tema-chan!!!! i completely agree with you. about half of my friends are gay. and i love and support them. i want them to be happy when they get old enough to marry ( me being in NY). i want them to marry who they want. love should not be based on gender, it should be based on who you love. and the people who are willing to take that away are ass holes! they should be told they cant marry because it goes against the bible. god damn, why cant people just accept it. anyways, good luck over thar!

[deathisinside]

im right there with you tema. Im LITERALLY disgusted by what america is coming to. im not lesbian or bisexual or anything like that by my oldest sister was for as long as ive been alive so i support gays all the way but i remember when i just moved to the house im living in now, i was about 5. i had a hard time making friends because MY SISTER, who didnt even live with us!, was gay. and i couldnt understand why but now that im older i've cried over this problem and im not one to cry at all

[DatenshiChan01]

i am NO on prop 8. not only because i am dating someone of the same gender but because its just equal rights. people who date someone of the same gender shouldnt be deprived of something like marriage. why should it only be man and woman? why? cuz of reproduction? cant someone be in a loving relationship with someone of the same gender? they can and it isnt just our "sick minds". its our emotions that are being toyed with.

[MACCAPONE60]

YES ON 8 THAT ALL THAT MATTER WEST COAST all day n.h.c.

[kichoubara]

I wish I could have voted no on prop 8. I'm in MA so I couldn't. I have nothing against gay people. I do believe that it goes against the bible but one of our rights as americans is freedom of religion. No one should force their religion on anyone and no law should enforce a religious belief either. I don't have any friends who are affected by prop 8 that I know of. I can't even begin to imagine the pain and saddness gay couples are going through. It really sucks. I can't believe 50% of people

[kichoubara]

did not vote on this. I don't care if it is between a man and a woman or between two people of the same sex, love is beautiful. Marriage is the ultimate way of saying I love you and no one has the right to take that away.

[kichoubara]

Not even god has the right to take love away from people. When god created us (my belief) he gave us the freedom of choice. The freedom of choice was given to us by god and was guaranteed by the founding fathers. I love seeing Sasu and Naru together. It is a beautiful thing they share and they are very lucky to have it. No one should take that away. No one.

[kichoubara]

I hope the people of California and it's leaders will work on removing prop 8 and making sure that people will never be devastated by another stupid law again. Best of luck on your fight. Tell Sasu and Naru to keep loving each other. Their type of love and the love between other gay couples is what will get this stupid prop 8 removed. Good luck.

[kichoubara]

4 parts. It's backwards but I'm sure you feel my support. Love for everyone not just some.

[gregchat3]

im happy for those couples who got married they took there relationship serious,but those who didn't to me your like shit starter and bullshiter. because most of you are not even talking about what marrage really mean to you,im not really religous but those vowes mean a lot to people and no on 8 voters just havent convence me yet.

[AKANEakaWOMAN]

I support you and Koi! I'm Canadian so this doesn't really consern me...well it shouldn't, but it does! It bothers me because it's just so wrong that Prop 8 passed! I don't know why the Yes on 8 people can't open there eyes and see how wrong it is...does it even bother them if a gay couple is married or not? how would they even know?

I'm just going to start angry ranting so I must stop but, temari great vids, I support you!

[xXxGodaimeHokagexXx]

I don't understand why all people hates gays, I really don't understand what is the reason...

[ProevoMatt]

I have no idea :(

I may be from the UK but this is a load of bullshit. gays deserve to have the same rights as anyone. whether they are gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transexuals they deserve the right to marry

[xXxGodaimeHokagexXx]

yeah, I really think so...

[ProevoMatt]

totally...

politics are horrible

let the people have their say

allow gay marriage today

[xXxGodaimeHokagexXx]

yeah, I really agree with you

i'm spanish and in spain gays can married but three years ago they can't, I think is obvius and normal they can married like heterosexual people...

[like2cds]

move

[ProevoMatt]

why do they gotta ban gay marriage, whats wrong with it D:

[KunoichiRookie]

I agree with you and koi and everyone else out there fighting prop 8. Some of my best friends in the world are gay. They are awesome, wonderful, kind people. They've never done anything to anyone. They have every

right in the world to be happy, but they are denided that right. And for what? Cause someone else is not comfortable with it? That's Bullshit!

I want to fight for my friends and for anyone else that deserve ro be happy!!!

[SabukuNoTema]

thank you all so much as long as your willing to fight it cant end, and even though i dont know here, know this im fighting right alogn side you, all of you.

never give up your chance and rights as a human being to love and get married.

Love Temari

[koukalicious]
