If you want to protect marriage, then don’t vote for a constitutional amendment that will actually destroy legal marriages. That’s right, all those people who got married when the courts turned over the ban on gay marriage will effectively be forcibly stripped of their marriages all because a few people are upset at the prospect of homosexuals being able to share the same rights. What 8 will do is put the government into a position in which it will interfere in our personal lives and strip people of their rights and of their marriages.
Think about that while you’re considering how to vote. Are you willing to tell homosexual married couples that they can no longer be married because you don’t like their marriage? Not just from the comfort of your own home, but to their faces. If you’re not willing to tell these people straight up that they can’t be married because you say so, then why are you voting for 8?
Vote no on Prop 8. Let’s be fair here. The fact is that marriage hasn’t been threatened one bit by homosexual marriages. Not once. Look into it. Thousands of homosexuals have been married since the change, and has marriage been damaged? Nope. Not at all.
Just think about what you’re doing when you vote yes on 8. Think real hard about it. Because you are contributing to the historical and social discourse of hate depending on how you vote.
That is all.
