NO ON PROP 8
I’m not a terribly political person, but I tried to post a regular topic today and no matter what I did, it always slapped on a Yes on 8 ad. I refuse to let this ad go on my page and I have no choice. Whoever is paying to run this hateful ad is pushing the subject on me.
8 is a hateful, biased measure in the state of California to take away the right of two men or two women to get married. I think it is wrong in many ways. I respect that others may not approve of this way of life, but USA is a place of freedom where we can choose our own practices. Our laws were founded on a separation of church and state. We are a place where all shapes, colors, and beliefs can thrive.
To me there are two bottom lines. If we start making laws based on religion, we will soon have to cover up our faces and bodies because some religions say we must. We are supposedly against extremists so how can we be extremists ourselves.
My other bottom line is that we have such a high divorce and broken family rate in the USA. If a gay couple chooses to be in love forever and have a family, how bad is that? I would prefer this to a home where my parents are straight but do not get along. Keeping a relationship healthy and strong is hard enough facing all life’s obstacles; law is an unnecessary thing to face.
Also, one reminder; bi-racial marriages were once outlawed also. It doesn’t mean it’s right. One comforting fact is that no matter how many times it gets derailed, the subject will always return as it is a serious way of life, not an act or phase.
Please vote No on 8 and please stop placing Yes on 8 ads on my page.
