Really...

I don't think my brother couldn't have said it any better.

It sickens me to think about Prop 8. It's totally wrong. NOBODY should be discriminated against. NOBODY has the right to tell other people how to live their lives, who to associate themselves with, and especially whom people can and cannot love. I noticed that those who are saying YES to Prop 8 are very ignorant. Yes it's a little ironic that I am generalizing the "generalizers," but that isn't the point here. I've noticed that GENERALLY speaking, those who are for 8 are the following.

-Old White People (yeah, I said it)
-Old people in general
-Blindly religious
-Closed minded
-Discriminating
-Probably are afraid of minorities
-Homophobes (usually those who don't know any homosexuals or even deny knowing one)

Okay enough generalizations...

I want to clear things with you who intend on saying Yes to 8.

-People were somehow led to think that a church can be sued if the church declines a gay marriage.
Chruches do many things that it's conregation don't agree with, but it's not to a point where the church can have a lawsuit on their hands because of their own beliefs. This whole issue is a CIVIL ISSUE not a religious one.

-Schools will require to teach about gay marriage.
This has nothing to do with education. Schools teach about sex. Get over it. Penises and Vaginas are what we have. What we do with them is up to us. When was the last time you heard, "I'm gonna teach your child this material whether you like it or not!" Besides any good school and teacher would openly communicate with the parents of the students anyway. It will be known that sensitive subjects will be taught, and there is an option for the parents to not allow their child to take part. (Remember the good, old-fashioned permission slip?)

-People can be sued over their own beliefs.
Really now? Last time I checked, California law prohibits discrimination against race, religion, gender, or orientation. If this were true, sexual harassment wouldn't really be enforced. Or signs saying "Only whites allowed" would be in any type of establishment. Perhaps I wouldn't get a job because I am a Filipino.


This is a load of crap. Proposition 8 is stupid and should NOT be passed. Please vote NO on 8. Everyone is free to choose their lives. You wouldn't want people telling you how to live YOUR life. Parents, don't you get annoyed when other people tell you how to raise your own kids.

Let's think of it this way. People are so ignorant about this issue that these policies might as well be made. (just in case you are an idiot...the following is simply satirical)

-Buddhists, Muslims, and Taoists cannot get married. They are not of Christian values, therefore should not be allowed to marry. The laws are not solely based on religious values. Civil rights are rights for everyone. Not just "straight" people.

-People can ONLY marry those within their own race because they will ruin each others culture and heritage. Mixed marriages should be forbidden.

If supporters of Prop 8 can equate Gay marriage with Hitler. Then I can say this. If you support 8, you might as well be a KKK Member. You are SO discriminating, that you will do anything to not allow those outside of your narrow minded beliefs.

PLEASE VOTE NO ON 8.
