People who are comfy with their sexuality don't care who hooks up with whom and when and how.
.
It is well documented that there is a correlation between denying homosexual feelings and homophobia. What better time to be confused then when so young? Sexual feelings are OK, no matter for what gender.
How dare young Americans feel they can support anything that bans SOMEONE ELSE from having their god given right to LOVE whoever they choose. Its like what African Americans had to go through with opposition, its like women who were not allowed to vote. WAKE UP MOTHER FUCKERS!!! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DENY ANYONE OF A LIFETIME COMPANION, NOT EVEN THOSE CHILD MOLESTORS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. I'm a victim of child molestation and I hold the church or any organized religion WHO PROMOTES DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!!!
Question: Do you think that the ones they reached don't understand what prop 8 is actually saying as it's worded "vote yes to protect" or something along those lines? IAs someone who studied polling (and it doesn't take a scientist to figure this out), to have a swing in opinion like that raises a lot of red flags.
Why is this so sad this is America and everyone has a right to believe in whatever they want liberals and the gay and lesbian community feel that everyone should want gay marriage and we d'ont civil unions are fine but marriage should always be a legal and spiritual union of a man and woman.
i'm a young californian, and if i could vote, i would DEFINITELY vote NO on 8!!
if someone is in LOVE, why does their stupid gender matter? people say it's a sin. but if god wanted to punish people for being in love, why would he make them that way? NO on 8!! free love!
That's horrible. I wonder how "young" they are talking about. If they asked 18-24 year olds then I would imagine the decision based on peer-pressure or like Tara17 said…HOMOphobia.
Either way, it's dissapointing to see this. I blame closeted gays.
If you're so closed minded as to feel as though homosexuality is detrimental to children, then why not go live in the mountains by yourself? You'll never have to explain the scary homosexuals to your four year old again. I don't see why you have to go into depth about such complex topics with such small children. If a child asks "Mommy, why are those two men holding hands?", then the simple answer would be, "Because they like/love each other." Simple as that. If your child asks you where babies come from, are you going to whip out a porno? No! So stop using children as excuses for withholding a basic human right from a group of people.
Gays don't dissapear just because they don't marry! You should still be discussing sexuality and tolerance with your children. I sure do hope you don't live in LA or SF.
I know a good amount of people who are trying their hardest to make sure this awful law doesn't pass. I'm one of those people. Remember guys, gay or straight, vote no on eight (Kinda corny… but still a good message)
"Not surprisingly, support for a gay marriage ban was strongest among those who considered themselves conservatives and identified themselves as regular churchgoers. Opposition was strongest amongst liberals and those who are less religious."
This great country we live in was founded on religious freedom. On the belief in God who we thank for our freedom and who preserved this great land for us! Look at what happens to our country as we become more distant from our religion and morals.
We need to get back to our roots of faith, morality, and belief in God.
This is about protecting an institution that has stood the test of time, marriage. Why is it, after all of these years, that it is suddenly racist/homophobic/hateful to not allow gays to marry?
I feel that marriage is between a man and a woman. The gays can call it something else if they want to be recognized by the state. I feel that if they love each other, they should be able to have visitation rights, power of attorney, health benefits, etc. Protecting marriage is crucial.
YES on 8!
Re: GuiltyPerezaphile – I have no trouble explaining love to my five year old. She has never found the romantic relationships of our gay friends to be odd or questionable. She simply accepts them. What exactly are you "explaining" to your kid?
this just shows you how f*cked up our country is. i mean there shouldnt be any laws for religious beliefs. this just really pisses me off, it doesnt matter who you love..
Re: GuiltyPerezaphile – I didn't see this being a problem with others' children at Disneyland when a lot of gay people were around. Did you ever think that a child may not question love as much as they'll question what's full of hate and hurt? You say you love Perez, yet you have no concept of it when you question gay marriage. TSK, TSK, TSK.
By the way, did anyone take into account that those Pro Prop 8 ads could be deceiving? Even a "yes" on Prop 8 could confuse the person's thinking by convincing them that a supporting it equals support for gay marriage.
Re: GuiltyPerezaphile – You stupid bitch, why don't people become educated about what it takes to be a parent and prepare your child for what he or she will eventually know, I assume you are the type of parent or will be the type of parent that will place a video game on your childs hands because you can't be bothered to explain since you decided to have the knowledge of a squirrel.
You have been a major contributor to that youth mindset, Perez. A high number of your readership are young people. And they are not stupid. They come to this site for laughs, but what shines through is who you are. You are selfish, unkind, money-hungry, abusive, stalking and untruthful. Many of these young people will equate those qualities as "homosexual qualities" rather than "Perez qualities".

The larger gay community must be very disappointed in you.

Re: Medinillastyle – no one can control who thier parents are and what race they are or what gender they happen to be. prove that homosexuals don't just choose to "love" people of the same sex and then you have an arguement….and how dare young people have an opinion!?!..please give me a break just because they don't line up with your ideals doesn't make them wrong.
I WANT ALL YOU WHO ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT VOTING YES FOR PROP. 8 TO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE FOR A SEC: you found the person of your dreams. You have so much in common with them. You love every little thing about them, you even love the things you hate. You pick up on every single one of their mannerisms and love each of their little quirks. One day your sitting with them outside, the light hits their face in the perfect way, they look at you and tell you they love you, smile, and fill the void inside of you. You decide you are going to make the biggest decison of your life. You are going to sacrafice it all for this person, you are going to put it all on the line and devote your life to them. You go, pick out the ring, take them out to a nice dinner, take them for a walk. You get down on one knee and see their face light up. You see them become complete. You see two halves become a whole. On the day of the wedding you are sitting there in your tux or dress or whatever your wearing. Your loved one comes running in in tears, turning on the television. Your fellow citizens just passed a law that said straight people can't get married. You hold them while they cry, but you can't fix it. It is at this moment you know you will die alone.
VOTE NO TO PROP. 8
Idea… How about those little church-goers.. um.. NOT get married to someone of their gender if they have a problem with gay marriage? Problem solved. Organized religion is the worst thing that has ever happened to the world, followed closely by oil companies. The world needs more love, but love is bad when you're trying to recruit people into your church. Evil and hell are better to scare people into the pews.
"selfish, unkind, money-hungry, abusive, stalking and untruthful" Sounds like a list of realistic Christian qualities to me. Selfish enough to expect everyone to be just like you. Unkind enough to tell people who they can and cannot love. Money-hungry expecting people to give chunks of their paychecks to your church. Abusive in telling people they'll go to hell if they live their lives as good people, except that they love the wrong person. Stalking people and making sure they live their lives as "good Christians" and untruthful by telling them they'll go to a made-up place like hell if they don't follow a made-up person like Jesus. I was raised Christian and frankly, now that I"ve had time to think on my own, I think you're awful people who deserve hell far more than any gay person or so-called "sinner."
Yeah people do suck and the world is not fair. Too bad for you gay people. i dont get to have "straight parades" Where i close down a family neighborhood and display my love for sitting on a mans cock. Life is not fair I hope 8 passed. How about we agree on Gays not having gay parades and then NO on 8 lets make a deal. I am sick of gays. it seems like a fad to me.
Re: itsallinlove – My comment is being made obviously to those young americans that are against gay unions, I should have been more specific, but I still mean every word I said. Everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it but NO ONE should even be allowed to put this on a ballot. Its disgusting,
*shakes head, walks away*
wow..pass it!!!
fuck
THE RIGHT WING MACHINE IS FUCKNG WITH THEIR MINDS.
.
VOTE NO ON 8
That's crap. We're supposed to be the broad-minded, all accepting generation. People suck.
I don't understand these people who have a need to CONTROL other people's lives.
I'm from the bay area, "young" and I'm voting NO on prop 8… come on guys!
I'm not surprised.
I know.
I actually haven't seen that ad in a few days though, I wonder if it was pulled.
If gays can't marry I'm going on a killing spree
I dont understand what is wrong with people! NO ON PROP 8.
People who are comfy with their sexuality don't care who hooks up with whom and when and how.

It is well documented that there is a correlation between denying homosexual feelings and homophobia. What better time to be confused then when so young? Sexual feelings are OK, no matter for what gender.
THANK GOD!!!! YES ON 8!!!!!!!!!!
"Whether you like it or not", Gavin? If the answer is "not", then you're kinda SOL there, aren't ya, Mayor Newsom?
perez hiltons a fat bitch!!!!!
How dare young Americans feel they can support anything that bans SOMEONE ELSE from having their god given right to LOVE whoever they choose.

Mayor Newsom did a disservice to this cause by his comment. That guy is such a buffoon.
And we wonder why 8th graders blow each other away at school…
WTF is the problem with you people? I like it here in Canada where it doesn't matter who you love.

YES ON 8
It has nothing to do with the sleazy "hate" "homophobia" or other labels that ultra-left wing groups want to call it.
It has to do with parenting. Pure and simple. Once you become a parent, try explaining all this to YOUR four-year-old.
Besides, the roots of homosexuality are much too complex to discuss here.
And I love you, Mario/Perez/Whomever!!
i'm a young californian, and if i could vote, i would DEFINITELY vote NO on 8!!

I've been hearing a LOT of Yes on Prop 8 ads on the radio (even PROGRESSIVE RADIO!!!!) and on TV. Makes me so sad…
I'll be voting No on 8. I hope it bombs.
Ona - #14 post…
Your just wrong. If your not joking, you need some education. If you are joking, that is really sick.
this just shows you how f*cked up our country is. i mean there shouldnt be any laws for religious beliefs. this just really pisses me off, it doesnt matter who you love..
I don't know what young people they are polling but this is crazy! Get your heads out of your asses and join the 21st century!! NO ON PROP 8!!
I've seen the ad, and it could never make me vote yes. It's a stupid ad with a stupid premise.
