California can't even meet their payroll. Don't they have more important things to worry about than whom someone else chooses to marry?

Regardless of birth rate, it's still unfair to deny humans the social acceptance of sharing the bond of marriage due to shared LOVE.

Civsuccess2 said: "therefore lower birth rate"

Soooo HOW does the decline in birth rate damage humanity? That's the same mentality as saying if a guy jerks off he's lowering birth rate. OH NO...one less baby in this VASTLY expanding populous world.

China doesn't even allow families to have more than one baby. What are your thoughts on this horrible "lower birth rate" there?

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR WHO YOU WANNA BE, You have the RIGHT TO MARRY. THIS IS NOT JUST A PRIVILAGE, THIS IS YOUR RIGHT. "do not do unto others what others don't want to do unto you"

vote NO on Prop 8.

There are two type of gays. Clinical gays and normal people who are bisexual. Clinical gays cannot be changed. However, normal people who accept bisexuality can be affected.

If teachers teach children gay behaviors are normal behavior. Some heterosexual children would perceive homo sex as normal. If general population consider homo sex as normal, a lot of people would consider have gay marriage. It would further lower heterosexual marriage rate, therefore lower birth rate.

It looks like three more states voted permanently against same-sex marriage, even though we were outspent, 2-1, which brings the total to 30 states, now. In addition, Arkansas, voters passed a measure barring adoption for same-sex couples. Thank God. This is just the beginning.

Civsuccess2 you are 100% wrong. Does it matter if they get married with the same sex? Even if they dont it doesnt mean they will be forced to marry the opposite sex and have babies, if that happend the birthrate of california will increase dramaticly. If they are allow to marry it will not affect the birth rate of cali because they are still with their partners either way.

Vote No on Prop 8
