This most definitely is a Civil Rights issue and violation. Closing off a group of people to the rights of others simply because of something they have no control over. This is why Civil Rights should not be up for a vote, the majority will always vote to suppress the minority. They are scared of change, a lot of those that voted McCain are also afraid of change. Both Obama and Biden opposed prop 8, they also oppose nationalized gay marriage, at the federal level. Instead preferring for each state to decide when they are comfortable with allowing same-sex marriage. It's extremely unconstitutional under the 14th amendment. Very similar to Perez v. Sharp (Look it up -- no association with the blogger.) 69% of African-Americans voted for prop 8, though trends show that African-Americans are not very interested in the well beings of other minorities so that is not a real surprise. 61% of first-time voters voted No. At least this means the old way of thinking is dying out. Also, to those of you saying yes on prop 8 people would not fight if it didn't pass...Flint himself said if it was close (400,000 votes is pretty damn close) they would continue trying to press the issue. It doesn't take a genius to realize, at the rate things are going gay marriage will be legal in the United States by 2012. Do the math for yourself if you don't believe me.
The Scientific community basically is stuck that homosexuals are born with a genetic disposition towards homosexuality that is some how activated in their lives.
Marriage is a civil contract. If you are going to ban civil contracts between two same-sex adults...good luck conducting business.

Vengance(The hell is this anyway? Looking for Vengeance?) I consider myself a fairly moderate person. I enjoy certain aspects of both parties. This election I chose Obama because this country can not take another four years of Republican policies and I really enjoy being an American. I encourage you to do some research before capslocking your way through some posts. There are other places out there outside of Fox News, you know.
In regards to the debate, I feel Obama did very well. I'm having an easier time connection to Obama because every time I see Palin/McCain talk I can't filter through all of their digs at Obama to hear them talk about any kind of issues-- Let's be honest though, NO ONE can filter through anything Palin says and make sense of it, that poor poor woman. I mean I realize he's your opponent but labeling the poor man a terrorist is just going too far.
