Prop 8: The Web Series - Episode 1 - Religion

Overturn Prop 8! New episode coming in a couple of weeks! Spread the word! What if your right to practice and enjoy religion was taken away?

Created by Benny & Rafi Fine

Starring Benny & Rafi as the Agents.
Brad and Sara E. R. Fletcher as the couple.

Every episode we will take another part of the California Constitution and see what would happen if that right was taken away just like same sex marriages were taken away.

We did not make this series with any company or for any company. We made this on our own and with the help of other great cast and crew to make a statement against the passing of Prop 8 and a message of equal rights for all.

MORE INFO ABOUT PROP 8:
Attorneys for same-sex couples, civil rights organizations and the state Attorney Generals office appeared before the California Supreme Court on March 5th 2009 to urge the court to strike down Proposition 8. At issue in the case is whether the initiative process can be used to take away a fundamental right only for one group of Californians based on a trait in this case sexual orientation that has no relevance to the groups ability to participate in or contribute to society. Because the case has serious implications for the constitutional rights of all Californians, it has generated unprecedented support from many national and state civil rights groups as well as California legislators, local governments, bar associations, business interests, labor unions, and religious groups.

The case before the Court is unprecedented because no other initiative-amendment has successfully taken away a fundamental right only for a particular minority. Because Proposition 8 would, for the first time, change the Constitution in a way that strips a minority group of its constitutional right to equal treatment under the law, California Attorney General Jerry Brown agrees that Proposition 8 should be struck down. The Attorney Generals office argued that the right to marry is an inalienable right that can not be selectively eliminated from one group without compelling reasons The California Supreme Court, which has struck down several other initiatives in the past, is expected to issue a decision within 90 days. UPDATE- Sadly, Prop 8 was upheld on May 26, 2009- we continue to fight for equality!

[wowhead123xx]

this is why i hate people if people are in love who cares whither it is between a man and man or even woman and woman NO BODY SHOULD CARE. LOVE is LOVE

[xstephennxxo]

Religion seems to start more hate then love.

lol... it's funny but sad that some people do think this way.

@wowhead123xx what if its a mother and a son? you have to draw a line somewhere

[liongirl8188]

I think all members of the lgbt community should be able to marry and have equal rights like any other person. Denying it because it is considered "wrong" by your religion is wrong, homophobic, and horribly prejudice. They are people just like us and it saddens me how acceptable it's is to be homophobic in our society. You guys are just scared of their awesomeness.

@Americanchickkm but even the constitution states that they must be separate. also if you even botherd to watch the video you'd undertsand. also they cannot force the church to do anything

[alyssaradcliffe]

Personally I think we should get rid of marriage. All it is is a piece of paper saying your bound for life. I think you should be able to be in a committed relationship without marriage.

[painokitos]

@Americanchickkm they already are treated as equals just look at legal partner ships, check this /watch?v=6zbpDe_QhS0 hey i don't care who you love but i hate when they make it seem so general as if they actually are losing any rights. also separate church from state, you can't force a church to marry someone against their beliefs, which is what they want to do.

i'm not religious but i believe and trust in God. you're not meant to read the bible out of context anyway. a lot of it includes flawed thinking and it's there for us to see the mistakes of the past and see how awesome Jesus' grace and love is for us despite our continual mistakes.

[CakeBeneathTheIcing]

Finally she got slapped for once.

@adle0202 yup that is even more stupid and sad
