My thoughts on Prop 8 and the difference between a "civil union" and a "marriage".

This isn't going to be earth shattering insight, I'm sure someone somewhere said it earlier, or better, or both

Well said.

Very well said! I for one have struggled with this concept for many years, being raised Catholic, I have been brainwashed that marriage is a "sacrament, religious union" etc. It has only been in the last several years that I have come to believe that NOBODY can define marriage except those that are getting married. A person (or persons) should NEVER be punished for whom they love. And, just recently had the revelation/reminder, that EVERYONE should be EQUAL under the law. So, I'm voting NO on 8 and I feel it's the right choice...even if my small Catholic/Republican responsilities are having conniptions. It is RIGHT.

I want to thank you for wording what I've been trying to phrase myself.

I seriously think the simple point of when was the last time "separate but equal" EVER worked should be enough of an argument.

Thank you.

and ranted a lot about it.

This is the first thing I've read that's reduced me to tears.

This is very well said. Bless you for saying it. Matt is a very lucky man, but I think he knows that. *hug*

Thank you.
