Prop. 8 the Truth Hurts

Why Gay Activist Are Angry

By LibertyNewsprint

Proposition 8, the proposition that amended the California State Constitution, now limits marriage in the state between one man and one woman. Opponents to the proposition used the argument that their right to marriage was being taken away from them. In fact, Californians have never voted to approve same sex marriage. Actually, Californians have voted twice to limit Marriage between one man and one woman. In Fact, for the past 4,000 years or so when you asked almost anyone what a marriage is they would define it as a religious and legal union between a man and a woman.

The "right" to marry was given to homosexuals by four California Supreme Court Justices where the Justices took it upon themselves to find "equal respect and dignity" of marriage is a "basic civil right" for same sex couples because here in California sexual orientation is a protected class. In essence this legal limbo of a decision leads the four Judges to believe that there is no compelling interest for the government to adhere to the traditional form of marriage of a man and a woman. Thus should not infringe on a "basic civil right" of people to marry those of the same sex.

The problem with the Judiciary finding is that it's not up to the Judges to determine what a "compelling" interest is. In a Democracy Rule by a government where the people as a whole hold the power, the people determine what that compelling interest is. Here in California the people have spoken twice on the issue. Now Prop. 8 opponents are still trying to find ways to co-opt the legal system to overturn the vote of the people calling those who don't agree with them haters and bigots. The supporters of same sex marriage have even started a form of religious persecution against the Mormon Church by singling them out and trying to brand them as extreme when every mainline religion came out in support of proposition 8. Also, gay activist have started a Blacklist of people who donated to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign. Its natural to go through a phase of feeling anger when you've suffered a loss but at some point there has to come an acceptance of the truth. Forcing people to agree with you through intimidation leads to terrorism.

The fact is most Californians do not support same sex marriage for a host of compelling reasons and that's the truth.
