Prop 8 - ban straight marriage, too

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
- from Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

for me its not about anyone being gay, its about the use of the word marriage. the separation of church and state was bullshit, it was to make anti religious ppl comfortable. i bet our forefathers would not stand for that..check your money check te pledge of allegence, the word god on our money has been there forever and we just added god to the pledge in the 50's so it looks like god is still going strong in our government.

@DuvalOutlaw so semantics allows you to violate people equal access to contract law? You apparently don't understand what separation of church and state means. It means the government cannot institure a religious conviction as law. Take a basic constitutional class.

Moral Relativism is degrading on society whether you think it or not. If you look through history empires fall as their morals degrade. the roman empire is a prime example they were too busy trying to have sex orgies and gladiator games and dishonest practices to defend themselves from some no account barbarians. The romans had conquered the world. they became selfish and hedonistic and were bickering amongst themselves is why they fell. Morals and moral people are what hold our country together

@jonmcd13 @jonmcd13 they didnt degrade because of gay marriage. the idea that the gay commujnity wants monogamous and responsible relationships is immoral in your world? that would seem to be contradictory. what is immoral about wanting to love your soulmate? moral absolutism has caused as many empires to fall as anything. marxism and islamism=moral absolutism. empires fall for dynamic varying reason.simplifying the fall of the roman empire as you have is simple minded.

WOW! I love seeing someone with a clear view of what this country was based on. You not only hit the nail on the head but drove it in with one shot! We need more people with your attitude in this country. The only thing I disagree with you on is that people deserved to get fucked by mortgage companies. Banks should be forced to be honest. Yes, a lot of people didn't pay attention, but a lot of people got screwed by lying mortgage brokers, too.

@dimondwoof never sign a contract without consulting a lawyer. if one is going into a debt two three times the size of their annual incomes, my suggestion would be to seek an objective observer before signing a contract 40 pages long. banks are by law supposed to be honest. doesnt mean they are.

This is an excellent video!! Government should get the fuck out of people's lives and stop worrying about all of the fuck ups in this or any other country! You're absolutely correct on everything!

@tmmsbasebal People had to fight for women's rights and against racism. Clearly, treating people fairly isn't natural to some people. Also, you cannot apply the rules given by your belief system to anyone else any more than you can apply the rules of another belief system to an entire population. That is unless it ceases to be a belief system and becomes provable fact.

I say ban straight marriage and gay divorce: everybody loses...muhahahaha!!

@1stickperson1 god is not love, god does not exist

[tmmsbasebal]

I never intended to make myself seem better than anyone. we were all sinners, some of us still are. Im not. But even in the Bible we say that God destroys Soddom and Ghommorah for her sins, which included homosexuality. if it werent wrong, then why do people have to fight to make it right, shouldnt it be just natural.

@LittleMsRevenge do you have any specific instances or are you too busy misspelling things to realize that perhaps,, without any merit to your argument, you look like a complete tool?
