California...

So today same sex marriage is allowed in California.<br>The Californian voters voted 61% to maintain marriage as between one man and one woman.<br>The Supreme (in their own minds) Court overrode what the people want, and declared it unconstitutional...<br>I thought we were a representative democracy?<br>Get ready, this will be coming to your state soon.<br>I guess you can now marry your sister or brother if you have the desire. Or how about your mother?<br>Dog? Cat? Goat?<br>It's a very sad day indeed, in my opinion...<br>Makes you wonder why you even bother to vote...<br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/images/smilies/gr_bs.gif" alt="image"><br>

So Scott are you for gay marriage or against it??<br><br>Just for the record I am Against it, God did not put man and woman here so they could love each other in this way!! Not that Gods intent was for man and womanto spend arm in arm under the same roof the the rest of there lives that's just crazy<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image">.....I was joking....<br><br> Anyway it's just wrong, I don't want to see two men kissing (Just typing that makes me sick) or two women kissing (that did not hurt as bad). Howwould you like shopping at the store and here are two gay guys macking out in front of the corn??? Not a good thing.<br><br> We cannot stop gay people from there gay stuff but to give them the thumbs up and go spread the gay all over free and so on is not going to help. There is noneed for the state of California to allow gay people to get married.<br><br> It's morally wrong to be gay, it's socially unacceptable and should stay that way, it's not healthy, it's not good for our children to see andthink it's ok to be gay.<br><br> There is just something wrong in the brain for two men or women to want to kiss each other and then do other things that are unmentionable here on this site. <br><br> Don't' get me wrong I know there is more to the gay then just kissing and sex, but it's a part of the gay thing and you can't take it away andsay that oh they just want to be together and hold hands (this is wrong to) I'm not going to buy it.<br><br>So.......... <font size="7">stop it, just stop it, stop stop stop, don't do that.......stop the gay stuff!!<br><br>...........just stop it....!!</font>

"gay stuff" ?? i don't want to see them kissing in public either, but I accept that people are gay, it's not a choice fellas...it's aborn with it condition.. you might as well cuss someone with cystic fibrosis for coughing in public....<br><br>I'm in no way as liberal as this post sounds , but i can accept someone as they are... I'm with Anita on this one...<img height="35" src="http://sshare1.familylobby.com/icons/icon_popcorn.gif" width="35" alt="image"> you might as well bring up interracial marraige, or abortion, or maybe evenchoice of religion( islam and such)...<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/indifferent.gif" alt="image"><p><br></p>

The Decay of our social and moral Fiber, is what we are allowing to happen.<br><br>When mom and Dad can't spank there kids, the kids have no moral standard to live by and take guns to school and kill. It's not helping when they bothhave to work ether.....<br><br>It's the same thing to say it's OK to be gay!! now we have gay kids boys/girls kissing in the playground???<br><br>If it's a medical thing then maybe we need to find some way to treat it!!<br><br>P.S. If they don't cover there mouth I just might say something like you should cover your mouth when you cough!!<br><br>

The stupid is strong with this thread.

Scott, we <strong>are</strong> a representative democracy. Hence the term "representative." It does not imply "majority rules." If theoutcome is not what the voters want, you have the ability to change representatives.

<p><strong>It was a sad state of affairs to see that legal Gay marriage in California was the top news story yesterday afternoon and this morning, dominatingall of the major Networks in L.A., not sure about the cable news channels tho.........<br><br>I think that the Gay community is just wasting their time and money, as yet another initiative will be on the ballot to strike it down again in November, andit will pass again, just as it did in Cali in 2000........<br><br>Then what?<br><br>To each their own, i've always said, but for the record, i'm not a big fan of it........</strong></p>

Whoa........ this thread.... <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/frown.gif" alt="image"><br><br>Let's just say I'm proud to be a Californian...<br><br>Greg

I just don't understand how this will negatively impact anyone's lives. Are gays making out in the produce section today? Are straights? Please getyour heads on straight (no pun intended). Such unnecessary fears consume way too much energy which could be used for something more productive in life.<br><br>And again, yes we live in a democracy but the founding fathers were compassionate enough to include a Constitution which protects the rights of minority groupsfrom the majority. It bothers me how this fundamental building block of our nation gets forgotten and pushed to the side.<br><br>Threads like this used to get my blood boiling; now they leave me with great sadness...<br><br>Jeff<br>
