I've spent the last several days blogging about this issue and expressing my opinions. It has concerned me that the "discussions" are not "discussions" at all, but name calling and foul language -- from the No on 8 side -- this is the first time I've seen it from the Yes on 8 side. It's interesting to see how people treat each other from behind the safety of a computer screen. I'm voting yes because I believe it is the right thing to do -- but I deeply love the two family members who are gay, as well as many gay family friends. You can love people, treat them kindly, and still agree to disagree. While I am voting yes on Prop. 8, I am deeply offended by “A Concerned Parent”.

If prop 8 does not pass, then eventually our children will be taught homosexuality in school. I dont give a damn what homosexuals do or if the are "married" to one another but I give a HUGE DAMN about whether my children learn about something like that. That is not for the school to teach but for the parent. Hell frickin no way will I vote "NO" on this. I am VOTING YES FOR THE SAKE OF MY CHILDREN. AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT ALL YOU People that call us homophobs we are not homophobs we just want the CHOICE in what our children are taught. So DONT PUSH YOUR SO CALLED RIGHTS ON US. AND I DONT THINK THIS IS A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE. YOUR SEXUALITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS. WHY SHOULD 2% of the population have a right to tell me and other parents what my children should be taught. F YOU! I cant believe how naive all of you are.

If it cannot be stopped, then so be it. But spare the schools in teaching further about gay marriages and the churches to marry gay guys. I don't know why, but I'm not giving a yes to this thing. That's my opinion. Proposition 8 is not a new scenario in every single side of the globe. If it cannot be stopped, then so be it.

Proposition 8 threatens marital liberty, discriminates against natural citizens and should not be voted for. Thanks for the links Mike.

Excellent article...Make no mistake about this: Proposition 8 is not about schools or children. It's about fairness and equality. I have never seen a proposition that's more malicious and more misleading thank Prop. 8. Basically, if Prop. 8 passes with California voters, the law will "write discrimination" into the California constitution by making it illegal to marry someone of the same sex. As someone who has been with a partner for over 16 years, I find this offensive and horrifying. <br><br>And yes, I am a deeply religious (I'm Jewish) gay, Filipino man! <br><br>Thank you,<br><br>Robert Hallelujah!
