proposition 8

* warning: inappropriate language may be used due to fury.

Read this. Seriously. Don't just skim through it. Think about it, and try to not be the heartless people you are.

Do you know what our country was purposed for? To be free, to be accepted, to be able to do what you want. In this democracy to this day, there are people that don't understand that. There is a time to separate religion for government. Why can't people just understand that homosexual people are regular people, and that it's completely senseless as to why their rights should be stripped. Now come on, give me THREE reasons why they should not be able to marry. Three REAL reasons. I can give more than three for why they shouldn't.

1. Our Constitution - "We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice..." and our Declaration - "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" This is America. If you don't believe in equality and human rights, move to another damn country.

2. They are all people, aren't they? How would you feel? Dare to tell me that these people aren't people. I dare you.

3. Are they hurting you? What have they done to deserve having their life ripped apart because of a lousy proposition? GO ON AND TELL WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO DESERVE THIS FOR SIMPLY BEING WHO THEY ARE. So you're pro-prop 8 because of your religion?!?! So what?!?!?! Can't you just leave those people alone? Leave those people be! They haven't done anything to you!

4. Religion is allowed to be practiced in this country, but you cannot just let the fact that the majority of the state is Catholic change the government. That's unfair and will lead to the downfall of our democratic republic. Religion should not make you a close-minded person.

5. Being gay/lesbian/bi is genetic. A person does not simply say "OH I'M GOING TO BE GAY FROM NOW ON". It's WHO. THEY. ARE. for Christ's sake.

6. Speaking of Christ, if you're voting for this because of your religion, remember that God created all people. Do you remember that? Now what?

7. What about the Golden Rule? Do unto others as you would have done unto you? Love thy neighbor? What goes around comes around? Treat others as you would want to be treated? What about that, hmmm?

8. How would you feel if you knew a person that was gay/lesbian? I'm sure many of you do. You see how happy these people are? They're just like us heterosexuals. Would it not crush your heart to see these people in the future all lonely and depressed just because of what YOU CRUEL AND TORTUROUS people have done?

9. Now tell me, what IS the difference between them and us - they're sexual preference? So what? They have feelings, like us. They smile, like us. They can love, like us. Why can't you understand?

I'm sure there's more reasons that I have already brought up in previous Myspace bulletins and in conversations with other people, but I've never really heard other people's side, besides "I'm Catholic" (John and Victoria). Do you have any other reasons? Legible reasons? I want to hear them.
