Repeal California's Proposition 8?

On November 4, 2008, voters overrode the California Supreme Court by passing Proposition 8 defining marriage between a man and a woman. In the days after Prop 8's passage, several lawsuits were filed to challenge the validity of Proposition 8.The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 4, 2009 - and both sides came out to express their passions.

Would anybody today believe that marriage is wrong between blacks and whites?

notice how the argument never metions sexual gender. because the basic realization is that civil In-justice will not be tolerated. as mlk fought for civil rights, so should the gays of this country. it is just old minds unwilling to admit they are on an equal level as another human being.

@alexmillertommie13 Thanks for the great comment!

I was just reading that 24% of far-right conservative college freshman believe that gay marriage should be legal - that is something that the Republican party needs to realize and stop making gay marriage an issue! It will tear their party apart if they continue...

@worldli

thats exactly right, the party needs to see that young adult are looking at the faults of an older generation. the republican party needs to focus more moderate of issues like these if we want to retake the congress

@alexmillertommie13 And judging from today's health care remarks, they have a very long way to go!

[MomntrySilence]

WOW this is what i fight for? pathetic.

[worldli]

Do elaborate.

Religious ideology has no place in government. None. What people in this film are calling "marriage" is a civil contract. Marriage is a contract governed by the government. As such, the government must provide an equal opportunity for all persons to enter into such a contract if that government holds equality as a value. America has claimed equality as its founding value for more than two hundred years--so how can it allow any segment of its citizenry to decide to rescind that equality? How?

[Rockedmysocksoff]

I'm a straight conservative who does believe in traditional marriage. But at the same time I don't think a government should be in control over social issues. Homosexuality is a moral and personal choice, not a political choice. Why should a gay man or woman be denied to commit in marriage to their lovers? I also however, do not believe a tax break should be given strictly by marriage, but rather by children. If gays adopt, or lesbians become pregnant and birth, they should also get a tax cut.

Prejudice is not the same as ABERRATION ...!

Bible bangers....You really piss me off....Jesus would except Gays and Lesbains, he would have excepted their marriage with open arms and a smile on his face. MKL Would except too...

[zyle1972]

If Jesus were an American, I believe that he would not try to overthrow the Constitution with the Bible.

And if Jesus had two gay friends (of the same gender) who wanted to be married, he would not condemn them or try to talk them out of their love for one another, but rather would bless them.

Thank God that Jesus is not a Christian.
