It's still a controversy to this day thanks to California. Whether homosexuals should have the right to marry or not. I used to be against it on the grounds that there's already enough brokenness in heterosexuality and why add to the brokenness with homosexuality. I have since lightened up, because it ought to be YOUR choice whether to go against the natural order of the Lord or not. The government should ot be the judge and jury in that respect. That's I join Tila Tequila in the fight to kill Prop 8.
However, this ain't the bigger issue.
It wasn't just conservative Republicans who voted yes on 8, 70/30 the black vote helped pass the bill (granted there are black GOP'ers, but how many came out, really). My fellow Latinos also helped to push this thing through with their vote. Some of our minorities are still socially more conservative than the party most of them voted into office.
This could mean TROUBLE for the Democratic party.
I'm seeing a potential rift in the party between the Minority Caucus and the Stonewall Caucus. If these two wings of the party don't start finding some common ground soon on the gay rights issue, then it could be the issue that sends us right on back to 1968. I think civil unions is a nice middle ground. You get all the rights of a marriage without the actual title, at least until America is ready to lighten up some.
Either way, I'm urging both the Stonewall and Minority wings of the Democratic party. Come together on this, so we can continue the progress we worked so hard for these past few years. We've got a love thang, Democrats, don't let it start slipping...away...

I dont care, if gays get married it wont impact my life in the slightest so i dont see why people have to stick their noses in it.
And that's how it should be. Why is the government even stcking their noses in something so sacred as marriage?
