46. Very nice post and good point of view
Edited on Mon Nov-17-08 02:46 AM by Dorisye
I read your post, and you talked about a point that most people will not think of, which is this issue is not only about gay rights or gay-marriage. It's a much wider problem that relates to the human rights and equality. Most people can't understand and accept gay, lesbian or bisexual people. People usually think they are immoral, and they go against the entire society. According to something people may not know is that sexual orientation is not a moral issue, it's about biology and psychology. So, the people who prefer yes on 8 really don't have rights to decide whether the marriage for homosexual or bisexual is legal or not. The homosexual people and the bisexual people really should do the decision by themselves, because they are the ones who will be affected by it. So there's no point for the rest of people to make an irrelevant decision for them.
Even though, I'm not married yet and I'm not a homosexual or bisexual, but I still support no on prop 8, not only because I'm an ally. It's also because this is not only about gay right and gay-marriage. Next time this kind of thing may happen to another group of people. People can't always say support human rights and equality,but at the same time do something that go against their believes. I think this problem will be an issue in our society until the day that both side get an agreement.
By the way, congratulation and hope you will have a happy life forever.
