Proposition 8

It is quite obvious that men and women are designed to be with each other sexually. Beyond the sexual aspect, their bodies are obviously designed to have a different purpose in the life cycle. The human race can not exist without heterosexuals, while the human race does not "need" homosexuals. I'm not trying to be mean, but if it's "normal" to be heterosexual, then being gay is something other than "normal" That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means different. Short people certainly have obstacles in life not endured by people of average height. Did you ever tease a redhead when you were in school.... someone with freckles, curly hair maybe? What about the stigma of "bachelors" and "old maids" that never partner up or get married. Where's their tax break, who do they share insurance and death benefits with? Surely there is something "wrong" with them since they never had a partner? .... Or maybe they're just built different.

Men and women belong together because it must be that way. There is no ambiguity about why a male has a penis, where it's located, and what happens at the height of sexual arousal, just as there is no ambiguity about why a female has a vagina, where it's located, and why that thing happens every month during her sexually prime years. Gay couples can never "fit together" as heteros can. There's no denying that men and women are "supposed to" have sexual contact with each other, it's obviously "normal", and the same can not be said of gay couples.

No matter how much you want it to be, it can never be the same type of relationship that a man and a woman can have. Gay couple can never complete the most basic human instinct on their own... reproduction. At a minimum they'll still need the assistance of a 3rd party of the opposite sex (and probably a 4th party if they're monogamous) The only other option is adoption, in which case neither would a direct connection to the creation of a new life.

Re-defining marriage will not make homosexuality more acceptable, anymore than redefining "short" will make someone taller. IMO, the best any of us can do make them most of what we have, demand fair treatment, and not be concerned about what others do unless it directly impacts our lives.

it is a different, you didnt mention anything about how Affirmative action, EOF, the NAACP, all make me second calls, I want those benefits then, if you have a right to straight benefits, I want rights to minority benefits, I want to get the promotion at work bacause of diversity, I want to get into a school that I shouldnt get into cause I am a minority, I want EBT cause I am a minority, or rent control or low income housing because I am a minority.

Most people claim they want equal, they dont, they want the best of both worlds.

it isnt the same as a sports team, you get no benefit to rooting for a sports team, you want to be equal, then to be equal you should give up everything that makes you unique, all special benefits, parades, flags, that stupid gay lisp, anything that seperates you or makes you unique/different, I bet you dont want that, you want the right to marry, but dont want to give up anything you already have that seperates you.

you are still missing the point, most people who claim equality dont want it, you want equal to be married, but I bet wouldnt give up every single bit of gay culture to get it, and if you wouldnt give up every single aspect of gay clulture, you arent equal you would still have your gay culture and now also get the right to marry, which makes you inequal as you get the best of both. You fail to see this.

if there were to be equality, we have to get rid of every social program that makes us unequal, no more EOF, Affirmative action, no more diversity initiatives, no more flags other than american flags, no more NAACP, no more gay lesbian and transgerder groups, or latin groups, or anything that gives a benefit to any minority, but guess what, the minorities dont want that, they have the big scam of claiming they want to be equal, as long as they are equal and keep their special benefits, which makes them more than equal, that is the big scam.
