My response
I cant even see how Arnie got to be governor in the first place. I dont believe that anyone that is not a natural born citizen of the Untied States should be allowed to hold any public office. I mean he cant run for President, so how the hell can he be allowed to run a state? No, he should have never been allowed to become governor of CA.
He, I am sure, will veto the bill again. Sorry CA, I feel for you. I do agree that they should wait for either the Supreme Court to decide or just wait until he gets voted out. I dont see him making it another term. I have read Prop 22 and it deals solely with marriages that are outside of CA. He is just trying to double talk the issue to look good for the Republican party. He knows he has no true ground to stand on so he is just trying to play the smoke and mirrors game with this issue
Get real, gay marriage will happen. It is coming and going to be here nation wide no matter how hard the Christian right tries to fight it. It is inevitable. When you look at the issue, I mean really look at it, there is no LEGAL argument against gay marriage. You can quote scripture all you want, that doesnt make a bit of difference. The Bible has NOTHING to do with making laws in this nation. You can say that marriage has been the way it is for hundreds of years so it is "traditional". Well, slavery, women/children as property, segregation, not allowing inter-racial marriage, etc was "tradition" for hundreds of years too, but that changed. Just because something is "traditional" means nothing. A tradition is only held by those who choose to abide by that tradition. So saying that marriage between a man and a women is tradition is surmount to forcing your beliefs upon others. I am sorry but in this country, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT!!!! If you dont agree with gay marriage then dont marry someone that is gay. It is that simple. Just because someone personally, for what ever reason, doesnt believe in gay marriage doesnt mean that anything is going to be forced upon them. Churches wont be forced to marry gay couples. They are allowed to deny marriage to anyone they choose for what ever reason, there is no law that says a minister has to marry two people whether they are gay or straight.
Get over it people, gay marriage is going to happen no matter how hard you try to fight it. So you had just better get use to it. Because we are here and we want the rights as are granted to us by the Constitution of the United States. We are just as much of a citizen as the hetero crowd. All we are asking is that we be given the same rights as everyone else in this country. It isnt asking for something "special" is it demanding what is rightfully ours to begin with.
