I work with school age children and one of them the other day told me that they might be learning about someone just as important as Martin Luther King and I asked "who is more important than him" He replied Harvey MILK I almost died from a heart attack he was in 1st grade

Well I guess this is just a california issue but recently gay marriage was legalized in our state even though 61% of us voted against it 4 judges overturned so we are recalling I guess Yes on 8 says that marriage is between a Man and a woman

although I am not really concered with their lifestyle I don't mind I have a few gay friends but it's considered a hate crime if a pastor at a church denies them so far 4 pastors are in jail sentenced to 1-8 months cause they don't believe that's not fair our children will be taught about that life style with a book called KING AND KING where two men kiss at the end

it shouldnt be denied no! but why do they need to marry? there are no biological children. honestly i dont care if theyre gay, really, but why get married? what purpose does it serve beyond saying this is my husband,etc. it seems like its more os they can SAY theyre married rather than being able to be married.

i know that's why so many people are on the fence becasue if it didn't affect others it might be different for some but one couple recently got married in CA and when the wife applied for their marriage lisence where she wrote BRIDE AND GROOM they crossed it out and put party A and party B MAYBE MINGLE 2 JUST ASK ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A PARTY A OR B instead of man or woman

It could be the same reason a man marries a woman..It might be so they have the same rights of a married couple..Whos to say why anyone wants to marry?

well what "rights" are there exclusive to married people then? How about being on ones insrance, tax credits for married couples, how about probate if one dies...

Agreed but that's why the state gave them civil (something idk) but it give them all the rights of marriage but not the tittle that is sacred
