Why should government be able to take away any rights, statutory or otherwise, from any individual and then subject him/her to state sanctioned punishment? The world is just so unfair! I'am going to write to my congressman and complain! I will right this wrong, just wait and see.

Julia and Sam actually appear to be partners in a same sex marriage!

@handyman6042 Im not gay, but i do have part of your answer. My church is big, its the oldest one in Memphis and it is beautiful. gay couples ''can't'' get married there, but legally the government cannot stop them, i am just waiting for a couple to get married there. i will be happy when it happens because my church allows it but my state does not. Yet if the state has a problem they could sue them for their constitutional right of equal protection under the law.

@Aegius you are just sooooooooo wrong. I know a kid who was raised by two gay dads, and he is perfectly fine. he makes all A's and plays three sports. He has plenty of friends, and is one of the best people that i have known. kids are ENTITLED to good parents, and a gay couple can be good parents.

Julia and Sam are wonderful folks I have met in person. They are wonderful in their stand for non-discrimination and Proposition 8 will end up in a condition of legal injunction, preventing its hurtful enforcement. Proposition 8 is the equivalent of passing a proposition dictating to which religion one may pursue. We do not legislate to meddle with those practicing their religion, why must people attack others for their beliefs when they themselves are never perfect?

[Aegius]

@Graciedog BS. There is the valid concern for kids to be raised with both a mother and father as the ideal. Gays can't produce kids on their own. Only a man & woman can. I'm sick of that BS. Divorce is IRRELEVANT here, because gay couples have the same probs as str8s, except w/o concerns over pregnancy as they can't produce kids. Kids are ENTITLED to both a mother and father and that should be the ideal. Man+woman should remain the ideal as that leads to kids.

The religious right has NO ground to stand on other than their hate! They have NO proof gay marriage hurts anyone. Gay marriage helps society. It promotes 2 loving peoplebuilding a lfie together. Whether having kids on your own or adopting them which gays can do both(spare me the 2 men or 2 women cannot have a kid, many heteros cannot but they do in many ways). If the right was so worried about marriage then they would stop divorce. Ive never seen christians work on bans for this.Truth hurts!
