I thinks it commendable that news figures such as Keith are expressing their opinions about this. The only thing that gives me hope is that gay marriage will be legal in the years to come. That christianity's numbers are slowly going down. And that the number of young liberal Americans is growing every day. We will not "get over this". We will fight until we are treated equal under the law. We will fight for what we believe it. We will not go away. In 2 or 4 or even 8 years from now, gay marriage WILL be legal. This is just another ugly time in our country. Gay marriage is the current target right now because it just isn't cool to be a racist anymore. Don't give up the fight.
You're wrong about that. The gap between yes and no votes was closed by almost 10%. 10% in 8 years. If this trend continues in another 4-8 years gay marriage will be legal!! And then you'll be sad :( poor you.
This issue is not over. Not until EVERY ballot is counted. Even if it passes, this issue will never go away. The next generation of voters is going to come in and turn this around. Be prepared all you gay haters.....marriage will soon be legal for EVERYONE!!!
And homosexuality is not a belief. So that part of your theory does not even hold up. But seriously I really do believe that every human has the same rights as everyone else. And everyone has the same right to be happy. So if you're happiness comes from having more than one wife that's fine. But when it crosses the line into child abuse that's where we start to have a problem. It's not just about them having more than one wife. It's about them marrying off their children at such a young age. Or "giving" their minor daughters to much older members of the church for marriage. That's the part that prompts raids.
The raid on the compound was because of child abuse. I don't see how that has any connection to gay rights. And rights are being removed from the California LGBT community if prop 8 passes. Civil unions will still be legal, which do have benefits. Prop 8 is about civil rights. Not about marriage.
This issue is not over. Not until EVERY ballot is counted. Even if it passes, this issue will never go away. The next generation of voters is going to come in and turn this around. Be prepared all you gay haters.....marriage will soon be legal for EVERYONE!!!
