Yes on Prop 8. Rant

[jingy5]

For those of you who dont know it yet, the state of California by 3% majority voted against same-sex marriages... You can agree or disagree, that's YOUR right! but what about the rights of the hundreds of thousands if not millions of people affected by this; not just those who are and want to be married, but the children they wanted to adopt, to

I read about it! It's stupid! I don't understand why people are against same-sex marriages, really, what wrong with it? I don't understand those people. Everybody deserves love, right? And you can't help who you fall in love with! Nobody chooses to fall in love with someone of the same sex, it just happens! I really don't understand why they suddenly want to forbid the same-sex marriages. Sometimes I'm really glad I live in the Netherlands. They won't forbid it here! Well, I not homo- or bisexual, but I think everybody deserves to get married.
Your parents think it's a phase? TT__TT I don't think such things are a phase. Aren't you angry that your friends joke about it?

i try not to bring it up around them -friends and family- any more because it gets annoying when they only do it to ask me if they look hot in something or not... i remember my dad wanted me to join a convent, he said it would be easy since i'm cathelic... i remember in high school i had a girl-friend and i read in a science book that people the age 14-16 usually go through a phase like that, experimenting with the same sex, i guess they think my phase isnt over yet

They asked you if they were hot?! Really, some people...
I'm sure you know that it's not a phase. I don't understand that your parents still believe it's a phase. Do they take it seriously or do they make jokes about it too?

I think that if you like men and women, you really love a person because who he/she is. You love their personality, not (only) their looks.

Homosexuals can take care of children too. There is no difference between homosexual couples or hetero sexual couples! They both love their children and take care of them. By taking away marriage, you take away their happiness and their chance to have kids. It's unfair.
I've had many discussions about this before. Here in the Netherlands, homosexual people can marry. I'm a Christian and my family and some of my friends are too. None of them approves gay marriage. I tried to persuade them many times, but they just don't understand >__

my dad still jokes about sending me to a convent, but now he only does it wen some guy likes me or something.. i think he's in denial

my mom.. she doesnt say anything about it unless i'm talkin to my best friend.. she says homosexuality doesnt bother her, but yea i can tell by her mannerisms that she's uncomfortable with it, if not disgusted.. i think she's trying but its difficult for her

it's a generational thing.. the way they grew up tells them that this is wrong and denies thing kind of change

Irregardless what one's sexual orientation is, I think it is wrong to stop couples from realizing their commitment and legalize their bond

i agree so much with you lol well i guess that's obvious but yes i think that using the 'children' as an argument is just wrong.. i mean, if the hetero couple doesnt want or cant afford to have kids and does anyway, why cant a homo couple who cant have kids but wants them so badly but able to raise those kids in a safe and functional home.. imagine how they are now, trying to figure out who legally has the right to parent a child they adopted years ago because the state they live in says they are no longer married.. its not fair.. they're just people, who are in love, who can provide the same love to a child that wants it as a hetero couple can *sigh* its depressing to think that it may take them electing a Homosexual President to realise that yes they are people too
