  • Thanks, Eramin, for your wonderful comment. Norway is one of ten countries that have full marriage equality. It is joined by South Africa, Sweden, Argentina, Iceland, Canada, Belgum, Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal. In all of these countries, giving rights to gay people has not taken away one single right from straight people.

  • so sad to see so many people who support discrimination:( I grew up in Norway, where same-sex marriage have equal rights. When I see things like this, I understand that I can not take my rights for granted, I must remember to be grateful to those who fought the fight for me in previous generations. Do not give up fighting for your rights, one day you will have equal rights in your country as well, of course all people should be able to get married!

  • I do hate the fact that you used such a beautiful song to convey such bullshit...

  • THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I am so glad to see true Americans that are brave enough to support the American way and not cower into liberal radicals threats of law suits. GOD BLESS AMERICA and YOU WONDERFUL AMERICANS.

  • What is the christian position on gays who refrain from having sex (celibacy)? Surely it is just as bad as being gay and having sex?

  • Good for them. People with morals!!!

  • Do not judge, or you too will be judged” (Matthew 7:1)

    "You must love the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole heart and your whole soul, and you MUST LOVE your neighbor as yourself."

  • @caritas83 Yeah, it says that BUT it also says laying w the same sex is an abomination. Look, I don't mind gays, but just because people wanna perserve the tradition of the USA is not a bad thing. I'm not saying it's an abomination, but if you're gonna quote the Bible, quote everything, not just what u wanna hear.

  • @83redrose83: Well, actually if you read the Bible having sex before marriage is an abomination. According to the bible, getting divorce is an abomination. Oh,by the way I thought this was a civil rights issue not a tradition. Of course USA should preserve all the biblical and non biblical tradition such as stoning a non virgin girl to death (yup! It's from Bible) or wait how about using african americans as slaves? that was a tradition too.. Please 83redroses83 ou are being ridiculous

  • @caritas83 Umm, I've been married for 9 years w/out a divorce and I didn't have sex b4 I was married, It's called values and morals and I'm happier for doing so. And I do read the Bible, evryday! Y so angry caritas83? Oh wow! We both have 83 in our screen names! lol

  • @83redrose83 I am not angry. Sorry If my message sounded harsh. Everyone is and should be free to act according to their values. People do not mind if people have pre-matrimonial sex, get divorced or many other things that the bible does not allow, but when it comes to gays, it is suddenly a huge issue. I just don't agree with people forcing their morals on my life. I should not be forced to live my life according to your values since my having equal rights w/u would not effect your life..

  • @caritas83 good point.

  • @83redrose83 Thank you for considering and listening my point of view. I appreciate it.

  • @caritas83 Beautifully written caritas83. And I'm impressed that redrose83 was willing to listen as well. I believe that any true Christian who sees first hand a gay family member or loved one suffering needlessly at the hands of people whose mission is to deny gays basic human rights, dignity and respect, will quickly realize how un-Christ-like this behavior is. Jesus said, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto Me." For the sake of gays AND Christians, stop HATING.

  • @biggsterboyThank you! 83redrose83 is an impressive person, not because she agreed, only because she was open-minded and brave to listen and i truly appreciate that! I do not ask people to approve or even like my way of living. I also understand perfectly that some would be happier the legislation was arranged according to The Bible. but then why bothering with Prop.8 there divorcing rates are MUCH higher. Why not passing a proposition that bans divorcing? or consuption of shellfish? or ...

  • @83redrose83: (2) Also, I would like to point out that it is not about sex. It is about who we love, and you really do not chose who you love. You should know it better. You are lucky to have your love of your life right from the high school. Now, if you had a gay son, you would not want him to be miserable all his life and be lonely would you? or if you had a girl, you would not want her to marry a gay man, right? Yes, there are many gay men who are married but they still go around and

  • @83redrose83: (3) play with others. -if you care to know, i find it immoral-. No matter what the bible says you would not stone her to death, would you? BUT no matter what the priest says, I did not choose to be gay, I did not learn it from someone else and I can not love a girl. It is not how Lord created me. I really can not understand what are you guys so afraid of me loving a guy and marrying w/him. What is it to you really? If you do not want to be w/a gay person then simply don't. I

  • @83redrose83: (4) Also lastly, I really can not understand why you guys spend so much time and money to prevent people to be equal and happy when there are many other and important problems such as homeless people, crime, pedophiliacs that threaten the psyche of our kids. I am not asking people to say, I love gay people, but I am asking you to respect us enough. A friend of mine lost his partner of 25 years last year. 25 years of sharing life and while he was in intensive care, they did not let

  • @83redrose83: (5) him to see his partner because he was technically wasn't family. they could not say goodbye. He is still moaning and he probably'll for the rest of his life since he lost his soulmate. Don't you find this cruel? If not, I have nothing else to say to you. Despite what many believes we do not just go around and hook up with every guy we fancy. I personally do not have sex unless my relationship is really serious and I genuinely love the guy. It is not about sex it's about love

  • Looks like you're losing, dipshits. :)

  • all the homo bigots and trolls take that.

  • @axxymax1 bigot is a term used to someone who discriminates...how is being homosexual the evivelant of bigotry?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @wetdream09 Are you constipated, or what? Take the gerbil out, Fruitcake.

  • yes on prop 8 is twisting the truth

    EQUALITY FOR ALL

  • @chippendaleduo-you and your opinion are worth nothing. Capital L Loser, trying to fit in by being politically correct. Pasty, drooling little troll. Go spread herpes or something.

  • @FUKhollywood

    i bet you ram your toung in assholes you closet case mother fucker.

  • lol the song and the vid go so ironically together.

  • so these people believe that gays cant visit eachother in hospitals, cant recieve life insurance if there partner dies, and cant pay taxes jointly... I guess you people are basically retarted and I wish just wish you could understand that you are completely WRONG

  • CHIPPENDALEDUO is a dirty little scumbag. She wrote that "she hopes I get raped with a dick up my ass". Then she tries to take the moral high ground? What a fuckin' hypocritical braindead dirtbag she is.

  • @FUKhollywood Hahaha, quote me right or don't quote me at all, asshole

  • And guys, just because he deleted a comment, doesn't mean it's gone. FUKhollywood wrote: " Fuck off, you pasty little troll. I hope your whole family gets AIDS. I'd love to see how that turns out :D F'in mentally deficient, politically correct liberal cunt. Have a nice day." Isn't that so sweet? :) I sure think so...

  • Too bad the feebleminded young are so easily indoctrinated by left-wing fascist professors. Don't try to impose your ridiculous views on the rest of us.

  • @FUKhollywood feebleminded young are being indoctrinated by the right, not left

    Don't try to impose your ridiculous views on the rest of us.

    take your own advice

  • Facts are facts. Homosexuality is a choice. and it's a perverted, self-loathing choice made by poor souls who have a mental disorder. It can be treated. Seek help.

  • @FUKhollywood you're right, facts are facts, and thats not a fact

  • FUKhollywood, dude, you have alot to learn. I feel so sorry for your ignorant ways.. Try thinking for yourself instead having some Church Digitate you words for you..

  • @JPRamon68 Dude? Your political stupidity is overwhelming. Bill Maher anyone?

  • @FUKhollywood WOW, you speak of knowledge.....NOT! Do you know how incredible stupid you sound... You are born with your sexuality. I speak of experience because I am gay and I have known this since I was a kid. Just like you are born being straight, you can't change. OMG Dude, you really shouldn't listen to this shit from what you hear from The American Psychological Association. What a bunch of Bullshit. I'm glad that I have the smarts not to believe everything I read.

  • @JPRamon68 His information is incorrect. The APA does not claim that sexuality is a choice. If he'd actually looked it up, rather than pulling info out of his ass, he wouldn't have posted that. I'm beginning to think he's trolling wrong info just to get attention, because no one can honestly be this ignorant...

  • One other thing, You should not use the Beach Boy's in vain like you have done with this video.

  • OMG I just heard from the Church leader that every LDS member must jump off a 40 story building...... Now if you believe that why would you believe all the other crap that the LDS dishes out and I do mean crap.

  • Vote no on ignorance

  • Ah, look at all the ignorant people we have in America... Isn't it funny how the LDS Church leaders are getting fined for the role in prop 8 and some might even be heading to jail.... Wake up idiots, everyone has a right to marry you dumb fu***

  • Did you know one of the Beach Boys is gay? I wonder what he would think of this.

  • Marry your cousin!

  • What's next? Where does it end? Multiple spouses, male and female? Marrying pets? Legalizing pedophilia? Get some professional help

    with your deviant sexual behavior problems.

  • @FUKhollywood There is nothing deviant about two loving, consenting, legal adults. This argument about cousins, pedo., animals, etc., is old and doesn't even make sense. It cannot apply. Get off your high horse, stop it with the schrooms, and start paying attention. You've got problems.

  • Larry King is getting his 8th divorce, and Elizabeth Taylor is possibly getting married for a 9th time. Jesse James and Tiger Woods are, well... you know... Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh are on their 3rd and 4th marriages, respectively. And how many politicians have been caught cheating? Yet the idea of same-sex marriage is what is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Really? REALLY?!?!?!?!

  • Psychoanalytic theory holds that homophobia -- the fear, anxiety, anger, discomfort and aversion that some ostensibly heterosexual people hold for gay individuals -- is the result of repressed homosexual urges that the person is either unaware of or denies. A study appearing in the August 1996 issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA), provides new empirical evidence that is consistent with that theory.

    Thats all I have to say.

  • Great Prop 8 video! Check out Proposition 8 Demonstration by Damien1995! Hilarious!

  • despicable

  • wait im confused .....u think this is a good thing??!?!?!?

  • prop 8 was stoped. no on 8 its that simple and we all no that in 2-3 maby even 4 years from now guss what were gonna b voting about???? and then maby just maby people are gonna get it right that time

  • I've never felt so.. hated.. helpless :(

    Congratulations, prop 8 supporters.

    And i'll stop playing the victim when you start giving me equal rights, but right now i truely do feel victimized.

  • This is fucking depressing..

  • After reading pro-gay posts, I've come to the realization that most gays are self-hating.

  • really hows that?

  • California has voted in favor of good, decent, normal values. Why would you have a problem with that, unless you are a depraved freak that wants to blame everyone else for your disgusting perverted behavior. Self-hating describes it well. You are quite misguided, my little friend.

  • californians were duped into voting for this joke

    i have a problem with that because its discrimination

  • @FUKhollywood

    Because DIVORCE is a good decent normal value? Same with Spousal Abuse and Child abuse? Because THAT is what goes on among many Marriages in California alone.

  • @FUKhollywood Aaah, I see now..... you're a twat

  • @chippendaleduo  Namecalling won't change the FACTS.

  • @FUKhollywood They're not facts in any sense of the word. They're opinions.

  • @chippendaleduo You don't have a clue

  • @FUKhollywood I was raised Catholic, I have a better "clue" than you think I have.

  • @chippendaleduo Whatever- I went to Catholic school, was an altar boy, and am still a practicing Catholic. Homosexuality is caused by a lack of morals and any sort of self-control. If you think it is "normal", then you have problems.

  • @FUKhollywood Good for you, buddy, but that doesn't qualify you. You're ignoring evidence and holding onto the weak brainwash info the church is feeding you. There is more to biology than you realize where homosexuality is concerned. It has nothing to do with morals. So you can sit here and Bible thump all you want, you're not going to change truth. Period.

  • Comment removed

  • @chippendaleduo Not a Bible thumper by any means. and cutting down my faith just makes you look stupid. Homosexuality is a mental disorder. If you ACTUALLY STUDY Psychology, you'd have more of a clue. and I don't know what liberal biased Biology you're studying... 5th grade maybe? Homosexuals are a social plague - unaccepted, self-loathing, perverse, and lacking any self control.

  • @FUKhollywood You are such a failgasm, and you keep sticking your foot in your mouth. Guess what I'm studying right now. Holy shit, it's psychology. And also, guess what (this is exciting), guess, guess, guess. Nevermind, you suck at this game. You're wrong. It's not about self-control, perversion, etc. It's biological. If you're going to throw science out the window, might as well throw yourself too.

  • @chippendaleduo The American Psychological Association has concluded that, people are not born homosexual.

    Homosexual activity is a choice. It's science!!! Not Ripley's believe it or not, LoL.

    Truth hurts some folks, opens others eyes. Good luck studying??

  • @FUKhollywood Yeah, several decades ago. The decision was overturned upon further investigation. Google it, moron

    apa.org/helpcenter/sexual-orie­ntation.aspx

    A direct quote: "Is Sexual Orientation a Choice?: No, human beings cannot choose to be either gay or straight... Although we can choose whether to act on our feelings, psychologists do not consider sexual orientation to be a conscious choice that can be voluntarily changed."

  • @chippendaleduo They overturned it to be politically correct in this irrational climate we seem to be in right now. Their was no proof to "overturn" the decision , just kneejerking to the left. I'll go with the truth- homosexuality is a mental illness, a sociopathic disease that drives one to denegrate themselves and others through awful perversions. It is even more messed up that some members of society can accept this type of behavior as normal. Talk about easily swayed and feeble minded.

  • @FUKhollywood See, now you're floundering for attention. You know you're wrong and you have no proof. Keep talking shit on YouTube, where no one's opinions matter and see how far you get.

    Oh, I hope someone gets a dick up your ass one day. That'd be really awesome, it would :D

  • @chippendaleduo You are a sick freak. Keep acting like a misguided tween who doesn't get their way. Most of us are NOT like you, because we know better.

  • @FUKhollywood Sure, sure. Admit that I'm scaring you off and we'll be square. You're afraid of the gays, plain and simple, you homophobic moron. "Keep acting like a misguided tween who doesn't get their way." I could say the same for you, despite your supposed age. Grow the hell up and get over it, you can't change a damn thing.

  • @chippendaleduo Not afraid, that's laughable, like your sophomoric attitude. I'm just disgusted by this type of behavior and those who promote it. These are sick individuals who can benefit by seeking counceling for their self-loathing, sodomistic, perverted thinking and behavior. and hopefully in the future can live at peace with themselves.

  • @FUKhollywood  I hope one day you either fall in love with another man, or you have a gay child. I'd love to see how that turns out for you :D

  • Comment removed

  • @FUKhollywood so tell me where did you get your psychology degree?

    and how come homosexuality was taken off the mental illness list?

  • @FUKhollywood tell that to the psychologists that dont consider it a mental disorder

  • @FUKhollywood i suppose you believe pedophilia is normal

    since the priests molest children

  • @idaman12345 Stop, take a breath, and get ahold of yourself. The American people are overwhelmingly against gay marriage because it's wrong. Uber-liberal Californians even voted against it. Get some counseling for your perversions.

  • @FUKhollywood since when is equality wrong

    and since when should equal rights be voted on?

    im not a pervert nor do i have perversions

  • @idaman12345 Equality for sodomites, pedophiles, and polygamists? Never gonna happen. Like I said, get couseling for your sick perversions.

  • @FUKhollywood equality for gays, pedophiles harm children, and polygamy harms families

    and homosexuality is not a "sick perversion"

  • Watched the video, read the side bar. My opinion would be to eliminate marriages all together, civil unions for everyone. Since the origins of marriage existed before the bible and served only for social needs/wants (anthropologists would agree.) Also to support that is, since Prop 8 is an issue in the US, which is a nation based upon the separation of church and state. All marriages should just be civil unions so we can stop all this hate, discrimination, and exclusion.

  • If marriage is so valued then why do we have such a high divorce rate. I guess marriage is not that religious of a ceremony after all.

  • Can't wait for prop 8 to get repealed.

  • I guess you will be waiting for a while huh?

  • We'll see, it may take 2 years, it may take 20 years, but it's going to eventually get repealed, mark my words.

  • It prolly will because of liberalism taking over. It is a sickness much like homosexuality.

  • SICKNESS: An abnormal condition of the body or mind that causes dysfunction.

    Homosexuality is NOT abnormal, because MANY people,& even Animals, are this way, it happens everyday, it's pretty normal. Homosexuals also function just fine, Physically and mentally,many with High IQs.

    Christianity sounds like a Mental Sickness to me. Animals dont have this sickness, only humans do & it causes people to believe in an imaginary being that supposedly controls the universe. Yup its a sickness alright

  • Ha do you really believe only christians or religious people don't like homsexuality? Is that what they teach you?

  • btw

    SICKNESS: An abnormal condition of the body or mind that causes dysfunction.

    Buttfucking other men is a dysfunction and very abnormal.

  • ANAL SEX happens all the time. 30% of Heterosexual men practice Anal sex, with women (that means MEN getting penetrated by Women). Since less then 10% of the Population is Homosexual, and Most homosexual people, including lesbian, don't practice anal sex, That Means MORE Heterosexuals have anal sex then Homo's. It's very common, especially among heteros, and therefore, Normal.

  • Thats nice. However, if you can read you can see I said buttfucking other men.

  • If YOU can read, I said WOMEN like to "Butt-fuck" Heterosexual men too, 30% of Heterosexual men.

  • Ok what does a man and a woman having any kind of sex have to do with gay sex?

  • Approx. 90% of all the hateful anti-homo videos and comments posted on Youtube are by Christians. Although there are some religious people that are completely fine with Homosexuality, a majority if Homophobia comes from Christians. So no, not every homophobe is Christian, however, a majority are.

  • What does this have to do with anything?

  • Exactly what does banning same sex marriage have to do with anal sex? Anyone can have anal sex regardless of their marital status. in fact Many single men and women participate in Anal sex every day. Banning marriage from someone isn't going to ban them from having anal sex.

    Your points don't prove anything.

  • Lol in case you havent noticed, you are the one talking about anal sex and how often it happens. I said buttfucking because obviously that is how two men would have sex. Get it? First you start blabbing about christians, then how often and how many men and women have anal sex. The point I've been making: gay people are mentally sick not because they have anal sex but because they have sex with the same sex as they are. Even Obama thinks gay marriage shouldn't be.

  • You're the first person who I've seen that sees homosexuality as a mental disease/disorder.

  • Really, because the American Psychiatric Association defined it that way until they were pressured to change it by PC activist.

  • They didn't remove it because it was PC, they did so due to new scientific research and understandings. Since neither the APA or the World health Organization recognize Homosexuality as any type of disorder, your arguments that it is a "Sickness" is false.

  • No matter how you try to label it, Homosexuality will not be accepted by the majority of people worldwide or in the US. Just get over it.

  • And no matter how YOU try to label it, Homosexuality WILL not cease to exist. Homosexuals with ALWAYS Exist, no matter how many times to try to speak against it, or try to stop it. none of your attempt will work. You can;t change people. Just get over it.

  • I'm not trying to eradicate homosexuality, only same sex marriage. So far so good. Thanks California!

  • So Far, not So Good. Same Sex Marriage has been Eradicated for now in California, but since, it has now been LEGALIZED in 5 other states, & is expected to be legalized in ever more states. Hope you have your check books handy, Cause you're gonna have to waste A LOT of Money to get Same Sex Marriage Banned again in all those states. And good luck keeping it banned when comes on the Cali. Ballot again in 2010, 2012 and so on.

  • Yada yada yada

  • At least I'M trying to make a good argument and prove my points with valid ideas instead of posting pointless non argumentative, useless blabber like you.

    "yada yada yada" what does that prove? NOTHING.

  • Obama Doesn't agree with Same Sex Marriage, however he Agrees that Gays should have the same rights as everyone else, including the right to marriage. Obama was against Prop 8. Which makes since. He doesn't agree with it, so he won't marry someone of the same gender, however, he doesn't agree that people should be able to live their life how they choose and not be discriminated against for something such as sexual orientation.

  • He believes in a civil union not marriage. How does it feel to know that not even Obama likes the idea of gay marriage?

  • its a fairly accurate generalization, but that just it, its a generalization, and therefore is inaccurate. a better generalization would be people who believe in monotheistic dogma don't like gays.

  • Whatever floats your boat.

  • if its a sickness why dont doctors claim it to be?

  • and btw the real sickness is  the one that was destroying america over the last 8 years

    that being conservatism

  • And I care about conservatism why? Oh thats right, I don't. If you think Bush is a conservative then I guess you will be saying the same thing when B.O. leaves office because its the same thing. Only difference is one is black and talks better.

  • if it talks like a conservative and acts like a conservative, it must be liberal?

  • All those dicks in your mouth have caused you brain damage kid.

  • what, cause i support equality must mean im gay right?

    well guess what im not

  • cool, idc go troll someone else

  • That's it; use Bush, Bush, Bush as an excuse for your sick taboo behavior.

  • When the government fears the people there is democracy.

    when the people fear the government there is tyranny.

  • we as the people of the united states of america have the RIGHT to enforce a system of checks and balances, whenever the government gets egotistical and big headed.

    we have an obligation as a people to not put up with activist judges, especially ones that want to dictate a way of life to us forever.

    fuck that, im NOT going to allow the government to wield power over me.

    will of the people ! YES on 8

  • guess you dont believe in all men being created equally

  • the supreme court has been over turned by the people.

    this IS a democracy, YES we are,

    and YES this vote is legal.

    it just hasnt happened very often, so there are naturally not that many accounts for it happening in history.

    but YES we are a democracy.

    we are a constitutional DEMOCRACY.

    wish everyone vvvv could have been there!

    you guys would have loved it!

    YAYY ON PROP 8!!

  • You're an idiot. May you soon get divorced from the hag you married.

  • "Idiot," "Creep," "Hag." Name calling and ill will is about what the world should expect from this type of person.

    JW Windsor is a hate-filled, intolerant bigot.

  • Excuse me, I am "this type of person" also and I don't believe in name calling. Yet, you just turned around and called him names. I don't understand. You weren't the person hurt as a result of this election but it's more okay for you to call people names?

    I wish we could understand each other.

    Help me...

    Please explain to me why the world is more comfortable with two men walking around holding guns rather than holding hands?

  • uhh what? lol thats a dumb comparison

  • I wasn't comparing anything. I was just asking.

    Why is it more okay for two guys to walk around holding guns than holding hands?

  • You can't tell me ONE way that YOUR marriage is better now that WE can't get married.

  • First of all... "thousands" of people? Thats funny.

    Second, horrible video. So unfortunate these ignorants eliminated the right to marry for everyone in CA. So sad.

  • Horibble video.

  • If being gay is wrong because you can not procreate (that means have kids for all you fundamentalist retards out there) than why can infertile couples mary?

  • this is disgusting.

  • It was a great day and good to see so many fine people supporting Prop 8.

    The people have spoken. Now get over it.

  • You get over it. We're here and we're not going away, and you will come to regret ever trying to hurt us, you stinking creep.

  • Looks like the pod people of orange county.

  • The sign that says "Prop. 8 = Religious Freedom" makes no sense. Maybe they forgot to add "NO on" right in front of it. Seriously, forced religion (which is what Prop. 8 is) is not religious freedom. I honestly don't see how letting gay people marry affects anyone else. The only reason Prop. 8 passed was because of the campaigns lies. Prop. 8 wouldn't affect education, and even if it did, it's not like kids would become gay from learning about gay marriage.

  • Ok, so allowing gays to force us to accept their unions as marriage is religious freedom? America: the land where the minority gets to force moral acceptance on the rest of us. Doesn't sound like the America I know? Let them keep their civil unions and the rights they get with it (California Code 297.5) When I see a spade I call it a spade, not something else. Lies? How can it be a lie when it actually happened. Please remain alert to the events that happen around you.

  • "force us to accept their unions as marriage" How exactly does it affect you? You are not being "forced" to do anything. What's NOT religious freedom is taking other peoples rights away because of religious beliefs that only part of the population have. I have several Christian friends who are opposed to Prop.8 because they know it doesn't affect them at all. In America we have religious freedom. How is it religious freedom if you are taking away other's rights because of your religious beliefs?

  • Taking away others rights? Please explain what rights. The only right they lose is to call their unions marriage, just like the only right we lose is to recognize marriage between a man and a woman on a government level. Besides, many of us Christians know that if we allow this without fighting back, immorality will progress quicker.

  • Gay couples want to marry. They are not allowed to. Straight couples want to marry and they are allowed to. This is discrimination. Domestic partnerships don't provide as much security as marriage. Sure, they may have the same LEGAL benefits. But marriage is more honored in today's society. Gays want to have that same sense of security that straight married couples have. I am straight and I have no problem with letting any 2 adults who love each other marry. It doesn't affect straights at all.
