Alright, this might get me in trouble, but at least it will generate some traffic on my blog.
I think the ban on gay marriage (anywhere) is just wrong.
I'm not going to expand on that point. I'm going to go off on a small tangent now.
All of the people that are up in arms that prop 8 in California made it illegal for homosexuals to marry and are stating that the churches involved (most notable the LDS church, but the Catholic church as well) need to give up their "tax exempt" status... are simply wrong.
The "separation of church and state" in America does not mean that Churches are not aloud to express their opinion, and support the causes they believe in. The damn prop passed. That sucks. It's incredibly disappointing that the close minded managed to pull that off (not by much). The important thing to do now, is strengthen the campaign for gay rights.
*Tangent* Gays shouldn't have special rights, they should have the exact same rights that everyone has. Which are especially, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Getting married to the person you love is pursuing happiness. Regardless of who they are, or you are.
*Back to original* Campaign for the repeal of this atrocity. Support the court case that is, even now, trying to fix this mess. Don't hurt the truth, beauty or RIGHTEOUSNESS of this cause by trying to pin the failure on some other issue. Get out and vote. Get those that believe as you do to vote. We can do this. I have faith.
Thank you.
