NO ON PROP 8

"There are people who have said I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption, basically gay rights but with all due respect I humbly descent. I am not being brave I am being a decent human being, and I don't think I should recieve an award for that, or for merely stating what I believe to be true, that love is a human experience not a politcal statement. However I acknowledge that sadly I live in a world where not everyone feels the same." -Anne Hathaway's acceptance speech at 2008 HRC




I want to dedicate this post to something I have very, very strong opinions about. Hopefully by the end of this, you can get the jest of what I am trying to say. As ya'll know, Proposition 8 deals with gay marriage. A vote on Prop 8 makes gay marriage illegal. Before interracial marriage was legal, many people said the same thing against that, that they now say against gay marriage now. How many people opposed giving women the right to vote??? Many people are uncomfortable voting No on Prop 8, because of their children being taught about gay marriage in school. First, there is nothing that says that will happen. Second, my second grade brother Anthony knows about gay people and my parents have taught him to be accepting of everyone. Third, just because a child knows about gay marriage in no way will "turn" the child gay. Everyone is who they are. Despite your feelings about homosexuals, NOONE has the rights to deny them the right to marry someone they love. I believe in equal rights for everyone, including women, men, mexican, black, gay or straight.
