Comments about ‘Arizona, Florida also ban gay marriages’

The rights of the minority should not be voted upon by the majority. Regardless of your view on marriage, Proposition 8's victory raises a much more dangerous precedent than the happy families created by same-sex marriage would have.

haha!

Lot could not find even 10 righteous people in Sodom and Ghomorah. Maybe the LDS people just gave a few more years to Californians.

The latest Protect Marriage Yes on 8 television ad in California shows an incredibly cute 8 year old Hispanic girl bringing the book King and King home to her mother saying "Guess what I learned in school today. . . I can marry a princess!"

The anti-Prop 8, pro gay marriage crowd is running ads charging this whole idea that public schools will teach gay marriage is just a "lie."

The latest press release from the Protect Marriage Yes on 8 campaign in California rather cleverly points out the same groups now charging its a lie public schools will teach about gay marriage whether parents like it or not were just in court in Massachussetts filing amicus briefs arguing parents don't have any right to opt their children out of the pro-gay marriage curriculum.

From the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Amicus Curiae Brief:
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where the right of same-sex couples to marry is protected under the state constitution, it is particularly important to teach children about families with gay parents. [p 5]

This is a great victory for Society as a whole. The will of the people in the US has spoken in 30 states with amendments and in 10 others with laws against Same-Sex marraiges. No ones fundamental rights are being infringed on by refusing to recognize "same sex marraige" We are not saying you can't enjoy partnerships and so forth if you so want to with each other. However, we will not let anyone infringe on our rights and God's laws, and on a sacred institution of marraige and true family. Kids have a basic right to grow up in a home with a mother and a father, to be taught and brought up and not indoctrinated with wrong ideas or images that life and love is about sex, but about compromise, responsibility and sacred duty to rear and raise children for the next generation, so that society goes forth triumphantly. This cannot be done outside the relm of natural marraige and a family unit that consists of a mother and father.

I think this proposition and other similar measure passing shows the unity there is between Christians.

Thank you to those in CA, AZ, FL, and Arkansas who let the loudmouthed minority know that we are still a morally-based society. Now can we stand up and tell Hollywood to stop shoving perverse things down our throats? I am sick of morally degenerate celebrities, writers, and producers having such a powerful forum to voice their sickening values.

Excuse me Chris;

If the rights of the minority should not be voted upon by the majority, whom do you propose to vote on those freedoms? Should we allow every 2% minority group in the country to run everything? Let every political, religious, or social group with a tiny fraction of the population have the last word on the laws of the land? That would be chaos. That is not democracy. In this country we believe that majority rules. It is a good system. It is a great system. I am totally in favor of it.

The rights of a minority should not infringe on the rights of the majority. Gays activists crossed the line when they imposed upon schools to teach children that the gay lifestyle is not sinful and deprived me of my right to teach my children right from wrong, while teaching tolerance and acceptance that others have their agency to choose a sinful lifestyle. They should take their attacks to those who forward that agenda, instead of attacking those of us who are simply using the only thing we have left - to protect our rights by vote. The California Supreme Court created the mess they are in by choosing to ignore the voice of the people and to abandon true principles. I hope they can find a wise solution to the mess they and gay activists have created. I love my gay friends. I do not condone homosexual activity, but I accept their right to engage in it privately. I will continue to call sin a sin and I'll be forever grateful for those in so many states who have voted to preserve those rights and to protect the chlldren.

Well if Arizona and Florida and Arkansas and now California have voted on and now have passed Propositions that marriage is for a man and a woman well so be it! The family is a special unity and it is created by a man and a woman no other way can it naturally be done and science and nothing else done by man can change that.

I have the right to protect my children from the ravages of "homomania". ( you may interpret that as sodomy)

Local CBS News says that controversial Amendment 2 passed here in Florida. Yeah, a controversial amendment. But you see, we are controversial, our views are controversial. Even when a majority of Californians support conservative views, we and our views are controversial. You see how this works?. Nothing controversial about it, it was sensible. It was so sensible even a majority of Californians voted to ban gay marriage, but we still get the label controversial. The recalcitrant ones on our side do not like being called controversial, and they do not like the labels that the left and the media attaches to conservatism, and so, well, we must unify, and we must be conciliatory, and we must be congratulatory, and we must show them that we are not mean people and that we are not controversial and that we're lovable and likable people and so forth. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why we are where we are today.

Thankfully, the voice of the people has chosen traditional marriage in these states. This doesn't mean we have to be mean-spirited in our responses to people who remain genuinely concerned about this issue. This is a hollow victory for the traditional family indeed if ANYONE is going to rub it in anyone else's face.

As someone with gay friends and a cousin, who I still love and appreciate despite his choice of lifestyle (which IS a choice, orientation being a possibly different issue), I can understand the outrage. That's short-term thinking, and understandable. BUT I think in the long term, even gays and lesbians will come to understand how much we all need the traditional family to be protected, and yes, even PRIVILEGED, in society.

Society itself depends on the preservation of the mother-father family. There's no way of getting around that. But taunting and being mean-spirited about this--as I've read on many of these comment boards--will do anything but good. Come on, people. Gays and lesbians don't need your spite and bitterness. They need your charity and compassion.

Please. Celebrate the victory, yes. But be humane about this, too.

The people have spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.

The states are finally getting it right. Wrong behavior is still wrong....and all the "attempts to change truth" should fail. It is sad when people are so brazen about their "dis-orientation."

I saw on another blog post the following: "If God doesn't destroy San Francisco, then he owes the people of Sodom and Gomorrah an apology." Love it!!

A reply to Paul above: I think this proposition and other similar measures passing shows the bigotry there is between Christians. Who made you the judge of me? I know not all Christians are driven by such ignorance, pride, deceit and anger. Have you ever once thought that perhaps Gay people are God's children too? He will punish those that seek to divide his family, and yes, I'm talking about YOU. If you cannot open your heart, you cannot know God. If you do not know God, who is controlling you?

With the fact that California has a "civil union" law that gives gays living together the same exact rights and benefits as a married heterosexual couple, what is all the fighting about? No rights were removed.
Seems there is more to this that the anti-hetersosexual movement will let on.
Even the leaders of the LDS church have said that they do not oppose states creating "civil union" laws.

This is a far oucry from the pro-gay, in your face, we want to to say we are normal crowd.

Perhaps that is what it is about. Gays want their sexual lifestyle to be accepted as normal. Activists judges tried that this year in Calif. The people, by a narrow margin, stopped it. 30 years ago the board of pyschology was taken over by pro-gay (et gay pyschologists) and they changed the long standing definition of homosexual behavior from abnormal, to normal. This reminds me of a question Abe Lincoln asked about a dog. If you call a dogs tail a leg, how many legs does the dog have? The answer, four, no matter what you call the tail it is still a tail.

Fortunately for the Church, there were more than 10 righteous people who followed God's will and opposed Proposition 8 in California, thereby granting more time before God destroys the Church.

San Francisco will have its judgment day too someday soon. There will be no apology issued to Sodom and Gomorrah
