Marriage is our culture’s ultimate expression of equality–it takes one man and one woman to create a family. Even if a marriage can’t have children or choose not to have children the definition of their relationship expresses this equality. One could see a lesbian union as a marginalization of men, or a homosexual union as a marginalization of women. I don't believe government should sanction the marginalization of any parent. And even though some families can't have children, or choose not to have children, you can't separate the child-issue from the marriage issue. there is a great discussion here: http://prop8discussion.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/separate-but-equal/ yes on prop 8! wow. nothing like fighting perceived bigotry with some more bigotry.

I'm going to say this.. it's truly sad to see families giving up every penny, just so they can strip away the civil rights of another group. now that's hate in my dictionary. I'm not going to say anything inappropriate here or wish somebody ill, but i believe in karma.. what goes around, comes around. seriously, if the Mormons really want to protect marriage, why not make a crusade to get rid of divorce in this country. Hey, do what most sad pathetic Filipino marriages do -- stay in it just because..

Those tricksy Mormons! I've not only already voted NO on Prop 8, I've joined you in your fight against bigotry and hatred by making a contribution to ActBlue! What about seperation of church and state? What about our rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness? Isn't that guaranteed in the constitution? Blessings and hugs! Avonelle Hi guys!
