Remember to get out and vote today and...

[Political Warning]

For Texas residents I *STRONGLY* urge you to vote *AGAINST* Proposition 2
[proposed constitutional amendment]: Defining marriage as between one man
and one woman, and prohibiting the state, cities and counties from
recognizing any other legal status similar to marriage. [*WHEN* are we going
to get past our homophobic, racist, sexist, etc. societal flaws!!????]

[Another Political Warning]

I'm really hoping that the KKK's support of this proposition will help
defeat it:

Probably about the time hell freezes over. But we can sure keep our
fingers crossed, and vote responsibly whenever we get a chance.

I didn't even know it was a voting day. I didn't hear anything here. Is it
a Texas thing? Then again, I haven't watched the news and I'm about to head
out and go to work, so it's a moot point anyway.

I don't understand it either.... the law should read that a marriage is a
union between TWO CONSENTING HUMAN ADULTS. Have to put the 'consenting' in
there because we don't want any more shotgun weddings - and the 'human' so
some sicko doesn't marry his pig or chicken or whatever..... and the 'adult'
so that some pedophile doesn't try to take advantage of the laws (as if they
don't already)

Why should I care that they two guys across the street are not just
housemates, but husband & husband? I mean, besides the chance to gossip
about it at the watercooler?

Ahhh, Colorado... The state that decided the US Constitutions date for
elections/voting (the first Tuesday after the first Monday) just wasn't
their "thing", at least for amendment measures. Our election day was
*last* Tuesday, and in Mesa County (not sure of other counties) it was
by mail ONLY.

Colorado has voted down same-sex marriage so many times, I honestly
believe that we are *the* most homophobic state (that I've ever lived
in anyway) in this country. Heck they even voted down giving
gays/lesbians the same rights as everyone else (to buy/rent/lease homes
as a couple, to be protected from being fired because your boss doesn't
like your "orientation", you know common decencies).

Grouse, grouse, grouse, sorry about that.

It's state and local government elections. I don't live in the city proper
so I can't vote in elections that don't affect more than just city
residents, 'cause I don't pay city taxes. But there's a reason I fled the
city limits years ago...

Unfortunately to many people care what is going on in their neighbor's
house.
I wish people you live here in the US would realize that the constitution is
just not for them it is for everyone. It is a person's right to scream at
the top of his lungs how he hates the government; now we may not like it,
agree with it or want to hear it but we have to understand they have the
right to do.

I understand both sides of the marriage argument one side wants to be
acknowledged in marriage so they are legal spouses cover under insurance,
legally together in a way that binds them together etc. etc.
The other side is scared that two gay people are going to raise a child and
turn him or her gay or prey on the children in a union or marriage. Some
believe it is against whatever god and teaching they believe.

I hate to say it folks you may not want to believe it but it already happens
everyday gay couples raising children and the way the statistics are showing
they are doing just as good or in some case better than a straight couple.
Specially today that 75% of straight marriages are ending in divorce and
child abuse and domestic violence is up 40% since 2000

SO why in the heck would you care if two guys or two women get joined,
married or have a union together. If they want to raise a family who cares
as long as they raise the child to be a stable active productive person in
society! WHO CARES

Is it interfering in your life? No
Is it interfering with your job? No
Is it interfering with your marriage or relationship? No
Is it interfering with your children's lives? No

Sorry should have added LIVE AND LET LIVE
LIVE AND LET BE
