People need to focus here. The issue at Gettysburg was about people being held as slaves. This was not their coice to be slaves. Gays and Lesbians have made the LIFESTYLE CHOICE and now want to try to justify that choice by forcing everyone to accept their ideas as normal. Don't try to compare salvery to bad choices.
I keep hearing gays say stay out of our state. Last time I checked it was still my Country. I have a say what happens in this country. So, I and others are allowed to send money to whatever political stand we want. Just like you are. I also know for a fact that the gay movement received money from outside the state of California just like the people who voted yes for prop 8 received money. On another note, gays keep saying that the LDS churchs tax exempt status should be taken away. Well, I also know there our gay organizations that are tax exempt. Should theirs be taken away as well? They had a dog in the fight just like the LDS church did. They had an opinion, just like the LDS church did. Should their tax exempt status be taken away? Come on you guys. You only want what you want. You only see what you see. It works both ways.
There, I said it. It may be politically incorrect, to which I say, I'm not sorry. I don't mean ill-will towards people who may have same-sex attraction, but that is quite different from ramming your "in-your'face" trashing of traditional (centuries old) family values down the rest of our collective throats. Not to mention the poor children who are forced to be raised into these unnatural and unholy "marriages." No doubt, there are some gay people who are nuturing people in their own way, but the underlying lack of a mom and dad as God intended will only lead to more problems down the road for society.
To you people who preach love and people's rights and then rough up a 70 year old woman with a cross using her right to free speech, and who try to indoctrinate children in the schools that being gay is "normal," and won't allow the same school to teach the other side, and who protest at religious sites of one group of people ,and there were other groups who helped pass prop 8.You protest against the Mormons who teach love and tolerance, who come to the aid of people of all faith, just because they feel this is a moral issue. I have many gay friends and coworkers, who are not in your face trying to get the same "rights" as married people. If you were in the majority we would be no more. You are going to push too far and your cause will be hurt. Societies have been brought down by this type of behavior. Get a life-contribute to the good of all. Keep your private affairs private.
It is a shame it has come to this.
Goering once said that if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.
Real marriage can only be between a man and woman.
We could try an experiment. 50 gay/lesbian couples and 50 men/women couples. Put each group on an deserted island. Come back in 75 years and see which group looks the more inviting. Oops. One of the islands is still "deserted". I wonder why?
While Mormons may have donated much in the way of financial contributions, it was mostly Non-Mormons that voted Yes on Prop 8. So why target the Mormons especially with violence? I voted No this go round, I will vote yes next time.
Gays are not being prohibited from marriage. Find an acceptable person of your opposite gender that is of adult age and capable of consenting and you too could be married.
You know when you see a child who throws tantrums and only thinks about "me, me, me" ? That child is immature and very selfish, never thinking about how his or her behavior affects anyone else and thinks the world revolves around him/her. Now look at the gay community. This is the most narcissistic, selfish group that ever existed. They want to world to revolve around them. They only think about themselves. Have you ever seen a gay group do anything that wasn't about themselves? Have you ever seen them do anything that benefitted anyone other than themselves?This is the latest in their selfish, look at me behavior. If everyone was like them the world would be a horrible place!
lets move on to some other stories.
Who cares if few hundred misguided people walked around? A few million could march at the word of the First Presidency.
There is no scientific evidence that people are born gay. In fact, all the evidence exists to say that people are born male and female. Science also tells us that the only way people can reproduce requires both a male and a female. It is physically impossible for two people of the same gender to concieve and give birth to a child. Therefore, being gay or lesbian is obviously not a natural thing, and is against all scientific evidence. I for one will continue to stand for the fact that marriage is only appropriate as God intended it, and that is between a man and a woman. I will never see it any other way. You can ram it down my throat and get some ultra liberal Californai Supremem Court to legalize gay marriage, but it will never be sanctioned in the eyes of God. May God have mercy on your poor, decieved souls.
The same people that voted FOR Obama voted FOR Prop 8. Only 2% of California is Mormon and not all Mormons voted for Prop 8. Even those Mormons that voted against prop 8 are still having their church targeted. So, the gays are judging all mormons the same and that is bigotry.
Anyone out there know if the Unitarian "Church" donated any money to DEFEAT Prop 8? Their stance is obvious - check it out on google. If so, where are all the "protests" about their religious involvement; where are all the protests about their "members" getting involved and spreading their CHURCH'S beliefs?
I hope this garbage ignites conservatives. We had no representation in the last election. Years of sitting on our butts is what brought this garbage to the point where it is now - and "now" we either stop it or it runs right over us. They gay lobby could care less about anyone over 30; it is the minds of the young people they want. Just like Hitler wanted the youth; so to do the gays and their supporters.
Let's all write to the manufacturers of "ED" products; the ones we see on TV. Tell them to include "same sex" couples in their ads. Let's see if they do it. I doubt they would; but if they do, perhaps seeing "that" (2 dudes going to the bedroom) will shock enough people into just what they are supporting.
It's not, it's a moral issue.

It's these exact same people protesting that their rights are being taken away that vote against my right to bear arms every chance they get because they think its 'best' for society.
Anyway they spin this, the fact that is clear to the majority is that they will do or say anything to legitimize their inappropriate lifestyle.
There still is not a post from the supporters of Homosexuality that addresses the Real Issue!
IS HOMOSEXUALITY RIGHT OR WRONG?
Always the side step, my rights are violated, or "equal protection". My favorite whine is that "I should be tolerant" of their poor choice.
Remember that we as a group set the standards by what is tolerated. Some of the posts try to say that a majority should give in to minorities for tolerance sake, Why? What is next? Do we continue to move down the scale of degeneracy until there is no right or wrong?
Quit whining about nothing (which is what happening since you lost) and figure out what is right, and what is wrong.
It's "Gr8 to be Str8"!!!!!
YOU ALMOST SOUND LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT.
Nothing to see here, move along. Move along.
A number of posters have tried show that it's the responsibility of judges to override the will of the people when necessary in an attempt to justify the protesters actions. Problem is 1) courts are only able to override the executive and legislative branches, not the will of the people and 2) their are no people being denied rights had by others.
Even the US Supreme Court is subject to rulings that conform to the constitution, which is only in force because it was ratified by the voice of the people and it can be changed by the voice of the people (and it has been done 27 times). Two thirds of states now have bans on gay marriages, this would be enough for a new amendment if it were put to vote. Society would never trust it's laws to me made by four California judges. Instead we rely on them to ensure the laws that are passed by the Executive and Legislative branch are according to the voice of the people. The California court frequently seeks to subvert the will of the people because they disagree with it.
