You can't pin the passing of Prop 8 on the blacks and hispanics.
Pin them? Hell, I thank them.

Why not, they voted in favor of it at a much higher percentage then whites voted against it. It is what it is, regardless of ideology or agenda.

My point is, nearly 2 Million Obama voters saw fit to vote Yes on 8.

That's the reason Prop 8 passed.

Nope.

In order to defend yourself. Against anything from wild animals to criminals to tyranny. And to hunt. And to do anything else you want to do with a gun that's legal.

Yes, it is true. This country is focused too much on "me me me" and "I I I". Just because I think gay marriage is gross, I will stop them from marrying in a country that is supposed to be free.

Thanks to some of these people, America is being held back from becoming a more modern and progressive country. Look at Canada, Sweden. They don't have any trouble with gay marriage. They all have national health care and Canada has NO RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION. They don't sit there arguing and crying about it.

Why do we as Americans have a problem if a gay man can marry another man? Being gay is a not a choice. You really think people want to be gay and be shunned by family and society and then in the end be denied the chance to marry the person they love? You really think someone would pick this? You really think that it is a fun choice to pick and be discriminated against? You really think that it is funny or ok or acceptable when a lesbian cannot see her partner of 30 or 40 years because of the "me me me" and "I I I"? No, it is not. Not in a country where everyone is supposed to be free!

This is a shame. A downright shame.

Yeah, killing pre born baby's is soooo "modern and progressive", so modern in fact Mr. Hitler loved it so he must have been waaaaay ahead of his time. P.S. Way to hijack a thread and bring abortion into it, when there's lke 5 other threads on that topic already. Agenda much?

Happy B-day! Those who think homosexuals are too stuck on sex sure do a lot of talking about homosexual sex, don't they?

Very true. And those who support late second trimester and third trimester abortion on demand really can't argue that it's not killing kids.

Let's pullllleaaaase not turn this into another abortion thread though.
