About prop 8 and other anti gay rights props

While I do agree that anything that gets the government out of our lives is a good thing, are you suggesting that only couples that are involved in a particular religion gets to hold the tittle of "married"? What about those who do not attend any type of religious organization? Do those people only get civil unions as well? Wouldn't this continue this trend of bestowing rights and tittles to some groups while denying it to others?Edited by rueh, : Haven't had my coffee yet.

Well what I worry about, is that it gives precedence for further laws to be enacted that would establish seperate rights to each group. No matter how well we try to make the two designations equal. We would eventualy see one group or the other petioning for certain rights that would be excluded from the other. I know this is all hypothetical so really it has no legs for argument, I just feel that eventually you will have one group not wanting to acknowledge the rights of the other. I don't think this requires to much of a stretch of the imagination, since we already see this occuring to the homosexual community.

Well after working for the government for the past 10 years I can honestly say. They have no problem throwing a ton of money to correct the most minor of things. I don't see how this is any different than other ridiculous projects the government has spent millions on.
However I agree that in your proposal the term marriage, if allowed to be bestowed without legal rights by organizations, does degrade the meaning of the word.
As a side note, from someone who has been married I think we should allow homosexuals to marry. That way everyone can be just as unhappy as everyone else

Hello flies only
Would California's ratifying of prop 8 count as due process? In section 1 of article 14 it states So is the ammendment part of said due process? Or is it specifically referring to the judicial system?
