Over the years we have seen many attempts at banning people or a way of life similar to the anti-gays and anti-gay marriage racist’s attempts today. We had prohibition trying to ban alcohol created by a few zealots, yet the public at large forced the ban to be repealed. We had a severe limit on women’s rights caused by the culture that eventually went away. We segregated African Americans but over time this was abandoned too. EVERY time America has tried to limit a basic facet of life these limits have been overthrown.
Similarly you have been trying to limit the ability of homosexuals to exist, to love, and to marry, and to a certain degree you have been succeeding. However, these limits, these constitutional amendments in 26 states, will all be repealed in the next 20 years. As Americans realize that homosexual exists, that your son, your neighbor, your best friend is gay, you the anti-gay racist will either change your mind or lose the support of the public. As Americans realize that their marriage is not going to fall apart solely because two gays married each other you will lose your support.
Eventually when Americans start realizing the reality that a human being is a human being and every human being should be able to enjoy the same basic pleasures of life all of the hard work you have put into limiting what other human beings can enjoy will tumble. No it is not going to happen in the next 2 years and you will be able to claim victory and feel proud of yourself, but all of your effort is for not. American history has proven this, and American history will prove it again.
So start thinking about your next fight as we all know there will be one, where you claim that life as we know it will end if another human being is able to enjoy the same enjoyments as you. Start researching polygamy, start researching people who have sex, start researching people who do not own cars, because who knows what the next group will be that says “Hey maybe I should be able to enjoy life too”.
Sincerely,
Chris

I wouldn’t believe that such a powerful country is still behind. Their excuse is their god doesn’t sympathize gay people… How could god be so prejudiced?
Hey dude, the names Carl. I’m a fellow Eagle Scout and i actually stumbled across your blog while doing an image search for Eagle emblems. I definitely have no problem with homosexuals. Ive got a couple gay friends myself. So you know this is not an attack, I’m simply sharing my opinion as I have reasoned it out myself.
I was pro-Prop8 for one reason; “marriage” is not a “fundamental right.” “Marriage” is a system that was developed by Judeo-Christian religions and specifies that marriage is between a man and a woman, and therefore is a privilege granted by the specific religion. Therefore, marriage is not a civil matter; it is a religious matter, and therefore should be the sole purview of each individual religion.
Trying to legalize gay marriage is the wrong way to go about things; the correct way would be to first make civil unions equal to marriage and then take marriage out of law all together, which would relegate marriage to simply paperwork for your church and make all unions, gay or straight, civil unions and completely equal.
By trying to straight-up legalize gay “marriage”, the GLBT community is trying to alter a religious concept. Doing it the way I just proposed would, in my opinion, cause much less friction with anti-gays whose stance is based on church doctrine, and would still end up with the same rights for everyone. Hell, if (for instance) the Baptist Church was cool with gay people, that specific church could let gays in, without forcing the Catholic church to change their beliefs, too.
I’m just saying that there is another way to do this without pissing everyone off and having another battle-royale in a few years.
I’m probably not gonna monitor your site simply because I don’t have time to, but I’d welcome conversation via email if youre interested.
Peace,
Carl
