VOTE NO ON 8

[Jacksonholenativ]

This is just awesome!!! I hope this and other similar educational ads are being shown all over California and I hope and I pray that Californians vote for marriage equality and vote down prop. 8. It's time for the nation watch California set the trend. Massachusetts did it so now the most populated state in our union is going to follow suit.

[n4slyf]

Does anyone know the title/artist of the first song on this video?

[BBroehl]

Its called VOX by Sarah Mclachlan

[Hollywoodsteve]

Is this wowuser just joking or is he really the superstitious idiot that he comes across as?

[WoWuser27]

No I am not joking, and how do am I a "superstitous idiot"?

[WoWuser27]

Correction: How am I a "superstitious idiot"?

[HaiMyNameIsJay]

Soo, WoWuser, do you think that all the homosexuals will burn in hellt? They are living in sin, and if people they continue, then America will be swallowed into more sin? And then more people will burn in an even hotter hell?

You can't say that homosexuals will go to heaven, they ARE living in sin, just by being who they are?

Oh yeah, maybe to you, being a homosexual is being a heathen. I dunno, my church never taught me to think of people as disgusting or wrong just because of a life choice.

[HaiMyNameIsJay]

I've been going to the wrong church or they've been reading the wrong bible, I'll have to tell the priest tomorrow to add "Gays are disgusting they don't deserve privileges straight people have, because they are immoral heathens who will burn in hell and lead America to hell too"

to the sermon, because I think my church is missing out on that. Have a nice day, calling homosexuals "disgusting immoral people"

BTW, I'm not gay, the thought of kissing a dude is weird, but not "going to hell weird"

[WoWuser27]

Nobody will burn in hell if they truly accept Jesus as their savior and thats what I believe cause I have read it in the bible. If gay and lesbians have accepted Jesus as their savior then I will see them in heaven with so be it but they will have to answer for the sin that they have committed. Also, Hail if your church hasnt taught you all the sins such as homosexuality then yes you are going to the wrong church.

God Bless you!

[DarthBeryl]

Though I myself am not a lesbian, I fully support the right for EVERYONE to be able to marry the one they love. Who cares if it's someone of the same gender? You love who you love, and that's all that should matter. As a bride-to-be, I don't think of it as a threat to "traditional" marriage at all!

[Rayinbow]

idiot is not the word

[EturnalDrummer]

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

[WoWuser27]

What you are trying to allow is morally and ethically wrong. Gays and Lesbians are not in love they are confused due to a hormone problem. Marriage was and should always be between a man and a woman. I do believe that should marry the one you love as long as you are marrying the opposite sex. I pray that Same-sex marriage does not pass because America would be changing the fact that marriage was made as a covenant between a man and a woman.

[rooting4you92]

youre an idiot!

[WoWuser27]

How am i an idiot? I do ask how you how this is so.

[caj2030]

Your an idiot due to your "hormone problem". What an idiot you are to say that gay and lesbian people don't really love oeach other. What is morally wrong is that a human like you actually exists.

[WoWuser27]

It is a hormone imbalance because I was gay. What I thought was love was completely false after the shot I did find God and did a complete 180. It is wrong to slander marriage and letting the morally wrong of homosexuality to be let into the sacred covenant of marriage.

have a nice day!

[EturnalDrummer]

thank you, oh thank God,someone on youtube not bash me on my stand against gay marrige. it says so in romans one that it is wrong! You really have a great testemoy thankyou

[WoWuser27]

hehe your very welcome I will help you anyway possible :)

[EturnalDrummer]

check your messages on your channel they may help you

[cowflea]

ahahahaha whatever

educate yourself please!

why can't you just open your mind and heart?

just let them do what they want

why must you interfere????

[WoWuser27]

Educate myself? what must I be educated in? And I already opened my heart to Jesus that is I was Gay and its not right its disgusting. I interfere cause I care because homosexuality is wrong and will tear down America more.

have a nice day!

[Tauro7524]

how will it tear down america more? i want to know exactly how you think that!

[WoWuser27]

Because homosexuality is a sin which means its morally wrong therefore if it continues america will be swallowed into a giant mess of sin and maybe worse then just homosexuality.

have a nice day!

[Tauro7524]

again, this goes back to freedom of religion. your talking about a difference of opinion here and what one person may see as a sin, another may not. homosexuality is not a crime and occurs between consenting adults. you cannot push your belief on me, period.

[WoWuser27]

Correct, it goes back to freedom of religion but America was founded on the Bible and belief of one nation under God and your also right that I cannot push my belief on you, which if I have I do apologize, then again do not push your belief on me that same-sex marriage is ok.

[williamreynolds08]

If you don't like gay marriage, don't get one. But you cannot tell anyone else who they love or do not love and who they can and cannot enter into a commitment with. It's wrong and arrogant.

[Tauro7524]

so the big difference here is that while you get to live the life of your choosing, i have to live my life by your 'morals' and either way the path i take has no affect on you.

how do you sleep at night knowing muslims, hindus, and atheists are free to live a life in direct opposition to yours without enacting laws to restrict them like the laws you wish to uphold restricting me?

[Tauro7524]

you seem like a reasonable person but think what the real issue here is that you are propping up your bigotry with your perception of god.

in this country there is one law applied to all people and as i have pointed out, you are applying your beliefs unevenly.

[Tauro7524]

and for the record, thomas jefferson, whom you may remember as a founding father, designed his own bible, pasted of passages he found relevant and dumping the rest. so, again, i dont think your argument holds water.

[WoWuser27]

I personally have never heard of thomas jefferson making his own bible but I will take your word for it, but even if he had the Bible was already completed by the time he did so. I have nothing against Gay/Lesbian people yes its a sin, yes its morally wrong but if that is how they must be so be it just do not allow same-sex marriage is all im against. As I stated earlier I used to be gay and I have several gay friends and I do not hate them for living a life in sin they are still my friends.

[Tauro7524]

don't take my word for - google "jefferson bible" and see for yourself.

and my point was not to say that everyone should follow the bible jefferson created,but you advocate a society that our founding fathers intended and i simply pointed out the fact that you are assuming that the founding fathers intended a society based on the KJV bible and it simply is not true. They each had varying beliefs, IT IS WHAT MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT

[Tauro7524]

furthermore, you are stating that your morals are all of society's morals, and that is not true either. I am free to define my own morals and relationship with god, just as you have. You are confusing tolerance with acceptance.

and honey, the most homophobic people i ever met were other homosexuals. homophobia is not only a fear of other gays, but a fear of one owns gayness. so please, spare me the "some of my best friends are gay" bit.

[WoWuser27]

True, you can define your morals on your own but if it doesnt go with what God has set then yes your morals are wrong. Marriage was set as a man and woman which is what it should be if gays and lesbians wish to be together forever and such so be it just do not call it marriage. Furthermore, sweetie, I never said "my best friends are gay" nor is it a "bit" its true fact that I have gay friends.

[Tauro7524]

i fail to see how receiving the same rights, protections, and responsibilities as other couples threatens your moral stability and the stability of our society.

you have thus far failed to provide an argument that proves this point. in fact, youve talked about everything but.

i can see, as an ex-gay, how it would threaten other things about you, and you have no right to take it out on the rest of us.

[WoWuser27]

I am not here speaking about protections, or responsibilities here, I am speaking of how marriage is of a man and a woman. Homosexuality is wrong but I can not do anything to change it and I live with it. Yes, it is unfortunate that gay and lesbians do not get the same benefits as straight people that I agree is wrong and should be changed for every person should be treated the same.

[Tauro7524]

well, thanks very much for changing you position on marraige! earlier you said "It is wrong to slander marriage and letting the morally wrong of homosexuality to be let into the sacred covenant of marriage. "

was it something i said?

and still, we go round and round and you still having and you don't tell me how this is a threat to anyone. your only basis is "my god says it's wrong"

my point is: your god is not my god!

[WoWuser27]

I never changed my position on marriage. Yes, I said something in the quotations and I still stand by it, If gays and lesbians want to be together so be it JUST do not call it marriage and therefore it is not marriage. Furthermore, if your god is not my God then one of us is believing in the wrong god.

[Tauro7524]

ok. thank you for engaging me in this debate, however i think we are no longer productive in our discussion.

best of luck and god bless

[WoWuser27]

It was a pleasure speaking with you. May God bless on your future.

[Jacksonholenativ]

Oh crap. "My god is better than your god. It's just like the ancient Greeks the ancient Romans and countless other cultures. It's the same old stupid warlike argument that has been going on among various groups. Various Christians have done it to each other too. It's time you stood up and started acting like a follower of Jesus of Nazareth as opposed to acting like one of His persecutors (a Pharisee) and started authentically loving people unconditionally.

[WoWuser27]

This is the thing, I do love everyone but I do not love the fact that they are committing a sin. Jesus of Nazareth,the Son of God, and Savior from sin loves everyone which is why he died at the cross he paid the price for sin for everyone. I have nothing against the person (a gay person) but the sin they are doing is a different story.

God Bless you!

[EturnalDrummer]

he is not an idiot! I'm not sure about the hormone thing, i don't know but i know the bible says in Romans 1:22-27

[EturnalDrummer]

22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

[EturnalDrummer]

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

[n4slyf]

This video is incredibly moving.

I love the music as well.

God Bless California and protect us all from the evil rightwing agenda.

[EturnalDrummer]

u do make a point, maybe without the cussing it would be easier to read. I agree that librals have gone to far in ok-ing gay marrige because it is against the bible

[megalosaniac]

Yes, wanting to marry an adult man or woman is analogous to wanting to marry your neighbor's dog. I guess that makes your marriage just as absurd as a same-sex marriage. Go take a course in logic, you moron.

[bitterconfessions]

wow that was REALLY moving. crazy. it's love! LOVE! how dare anyone try to place limits on love.

[cameraguyjp85]

Amazing that of a country California would be the best state to OPEN up their minds & HEARTS!

All we need in this country is Change, and most importantly.... LOVE! Lets unite & change our lives forever, for our children!

[AuroraDeVenessia]

All my solidariety from Italy. Aurora, straight, Catholic..... human =)

[EnragedSephiroth]

Could I have 4 wives too? I'm playing devil's advocate here but there is a community of people who are serious about that.

[yourmomaaa]

Personally, I wouldn't care, unless abuse/incest/etc where involved (which is not exactly uncommon when it comes to certain polygamous people).

But then again, I'd like to point out that any two people over 18 can marry =/= people and animals and polygamy and children and appliances!

[heidojo]

5stars beth for always puttin up great info for us utubers! i love this one...and hope it gets though to atleast one person(but im hoping for tons)gets it!((hugs))peace and love~heidi

[pokettiger]

I happen to be a woman who married a man. I would have been insulted and furious if someone had dictated I couldn't marry the person I love. Why is it any different for a same sex relationship? No person or government has any right to say who can or cannot marry. Love is Love.

[EnragedSephiroth]

Exactly, that's why no one should be getting economic incentives.

[EturnalDrummer]

love is love, but their is a sad time that feelings get in the way of reality and truth. Gay marrige is wrong it says so in the bible

romans 1:22-27

[pokettiger]

I would suggest you watch a documentary called "For the Bible Tells Me So." It is available on Netflix. In the past, the Bible has been used to justify slavery, apartheid and the subjugation of women, and in this documentary filmmaker Daniel Karslake explores how Scripture has been used to discriminate against gay men and women, and reveals the ways in which literal — and often grossly inaccurate — readings of the Bible have damaged countless lives.

[EturnalDrummer]

thank you for your verry strong comment. but how DARE you call teh bible inacurate! after all things god has done for mankind, you call his word "GROSSLY INACURATE" The bible says all people should be treated equally, it does not say to treat gay people badly, it says to love them just as we are to love all sinners. But they are sinning in marring gay.

i will watch the documentarytomarrow.

[Tauro7524]

Drummer: he/she dares to call the bible "grossly inaccurate" by the power of the US Constitution. Remember freedom of religion? if one chooses to eschew the values of christian faith, they are free to do so and no group(s) may impose their beliefs on another, according to that same constitution. also, if it is the job of the gov't to prevent sin, it is to prevent ALL sin, not just the sin of a certain group (namely GLBT)There are no laws against lies, cursing, or lust. we got alot of work to do

[EturnalDrummer]

you are absolutly correct in some areas. but nomatter what someone choses to belive the truth still stands tall. the bible is the truth weather you belive it is inacurate or not. if there was a red ball and a color blind person saw it as pink does that make the ball truthfully not red?

[Tauro7524]

i do not intend to debate the accuracy of scriptures nor one's belief. the point i make is we are free to choose how we believe and why should i or anyone else be prevented from our fundamental pursuit of happiness because you say it is not right. you right to believe that is protected but you do not have a right to impose that on me.

[wgmyler]

Drummer: Dude, as a Christian who is active in the fight to maintain traditional marriage....please stop talking about the bible and discover the many legitimate cultural and secular reasoning behind maintaining traditional marriage, which everyone, bible-thumper or not, can recognize as valid. Bringing the bible or God into the conversation only adds to the religious fanatic image the other side of the campaign feeds off of.

[Tauro7524]

sorry dude, but everyone cannot recognize your point of view. please list all of the cultural and secular reasoning that it is a threat to marriage. btw, the definition of marriage is not changing, but the definition of whom is allowed to have unions recognized by the law.

but please, do list those now. those of you who see it as a threat say it is one but fail to tell me how. everyone would abandon hetero marriage for homo marriage? what?

[cowflea]

+1 i totally agree!

[WoWuser27]

Readings of the Bible has not damged lives pokettiger it is the only thing that keeps this nation together. Without God in the USA we will end up as Sodom and her sister city.

[pokettiger]

It appears you did not read my statement correctly. The remark was to indicate that when people interpret the Bible in ways that support and justifies such things as slavery, apartheid and the subjugation of women this is what can cause damage to people.

[WoWuser27]

I do apologize pokettiger. I did read it wrong and please accept my apology.

God Bless You!

[KoopaKidFan]

ya, but not everyone agree with eveything in the bible. or believes what the bible says.

one of the commandments says that god loves eveyone. and one says love a neighbor as you love yourself.

[HaHaLoveMusicHaHa]

correct, not everyone does not belive the bible. But just because people don't belive it doesn't mean it's not true.

If someone didn't belive it was wrong to commit a murder, should we make it legal for them to do that???

And you are 100% correct about the commandment. WE should absolutly LOVE gays, even if they are sinning. I am just as much a sinner as a gay, and God has forgiven me. God will forgive a gay person no doubt, but that is still a sin

[d4rksaga]

I hope they don't allow faggots the right to marry.

[cruelraspberry]

This would be a problem for you, how? If you're not gay, then it won't affect you at all.

[d4rksaga]

Because it would make marriage more of a joke than it already is.

[cruelraspberry]

Marriage is not a joke to me. I take it extremely seriously.

[yourmomaaa]

Yeah, the real joke is that people are "protecting" it by not letting people get married, but that gays getting married would "harm" it.

... sure. (Think. You might actually figure something out next time.)

[yourmomaaa]

Yes, because what I do TOTALLY affects you RANDOM PERSON I'VE NEVER MET.

[cowflea]

i don't get why people have to prevent other people's happiness

[ElustriaEvereska]

MARRIAGE FOR ALL! I'm married to my love Daniel. We decided to do it spur of the moment and were married legally at a snap of the fingers, yet my sister BETH can't. UUUUUHHH??? WHY??? POR QUE? I'm confused. Does the government actually believe that this IS NOT a form of discrimination? DO they really believe they are helping protect anyone? PLEASE! It's GAY BASHING!!!

[bitterconfessions]

youre right. its discrimnation! it not fair that you and i can get married with no problems but other true loves cant.

[Dexxconocida2]

Thanks for posting, it is so great to see this kind of effort, this should make us all LGBT members feel hopeful.

[asiangirldd]

This is a really good commerical. I am so glad Canada has equal marriage. :) Good luck!

[JamiMarie3]

Yeah, I second that.

First California, then the world!

Or at least up the coast.. Seattle isn't that far away..

[erikabonsweagoe]

Yay Beth! Lets kick butt!
