I am ashamed twice or three times a week. So far, I've got two left, but this isn't it.

I don't see groups of queers or whatever. I see people as individuals with individual rights. Not all people are extreme and some just want what you want, to be left alone by a bunch of busy bodies.

If they just wanted to be left alone, they wouldn't have gone to court in the first place. They were the "busy bodies" in this case. And they're the ones trying to harness raw government power to suppress individual rights.

Can you name a jurisdiction where recognition of same-sex "marriage" has led to more "libertarian" government, more freedom, less restrictions on individuals, etc.? It certainly hasn't panned out that way anywhere.

I agree with everything you posted, and that is why I am voting Yes on 8.

If 8 fails, then a small unique subset of the gay community ... let's call them the gay-marriage-enforcing-busybodies ... will seek out Christian wedding businesses... just look for the Jesus Fish in the ad! ... and attempt to secure their services for their wedding ... whether real or imagined.

When the Christians refuse on religious grounds the busybodies will pounce on them with their lawyers.

The Christians will be out of money and out of work. The coffers of the HRC will be filled and you will continue on blithely unaware because you don't work in the wedding biz or know anyone that does.

Good on you.
