Prop. 8 supporter is steadfast in her position I am yes on 8. I will always be yes on 8. Nothing any of those protesters can say will ever change my mind, and I hope not yours. Proposition 8 wasn't about separation of church and state. It wasn't about pushing morals on other people. And it wasn't about hate. Proposition 8 was about standing up for the supremely unique relationship between a man and a woman: "marriage." Proposition 8 was about preserving the incredible distinction of a man/woman relationship and their ability to create another person. Proposition 8 was about protecting the basic building block of a strong society. I suppose marriage might be called a "civil right. But civil rights, by definition, are "equal actions available to those with the same qualifications." Homosexuals aren't asking for the equal actions. Sure, gays can get married—to someone of the opposite sex. That's civil rights. That's equality. That's marriage. Other than marriage, homosexuals do have all their civil rights—please see California Family Code Section 297.5. Now that's not good enough. This is a perfect case of a minority group trying to promote themselves in the name of "equality" and "civil rights." Every single statement made during the Yes on 8 campaign is true. Just look at what is happening in Massachusetts (MassResistance.org). Thank heavens it can't happen in California now. The silent majority has spoken and has spoken well. Twice. Shame on our governor. Shame on the California State Supreme Court justices. Shame on our school districts. Shame on our liberal, biased media. Shame on all our leaders who are not acknowledging the democratic voice on this issue. America is a democracy. The democracy has spoken. Twice. Elizabeth Pierce Thousand Oaks |
