Re: Some time to calm down?
I'm not from California, so I couldn't vote on prop8 but if I was I would have voted against it solely for the reasons you brought up and also since it does nothing to change marriage except grant the rights to all. Why would anybody, in his right mind, vote against that?

Re: Some time to calm down?
I think I understand the reasons why many are against granting equal rights to homosexuals, but I simply don't agree with them.
From what I can see, the only reason that most of these people are against gays is religious, which should have no place in politics.

Re: Balance
What's even more hilarious is that there are people who actually believe some of the 12.

Re: Minority opinion rules?
It's a no-way-out-deal, unless we get the government out of the business of marriage. Let the churches decide.
So then Atheists can't marry either?

Re: Minority opinion rules?
I was being facetious in response to what thought was a ridiculous statement.

The churches should stay out of government. Marriage is a civil issue. Ever hear of a marriage license.

gays can still get married the way polygamists do, it just wont be legal, but then neither is polygamy.
What the F#$K does gay marriage have to do with polygamy? Are you going to to go the really stupid route and say that making gay marriage legal, it will lead to polygamy, marriage with animals etc. Real Ken Hovind type crap.

Fine, you don't like the 14th ammendment, then get 34 state legislatures to repeal it. Until such time as that can be accomplished it is still part of the Constitution, and therefore relevant to prop 8
