Why wouldn’t they want to marry if it’s such a beneficial thing?
_____________________________
There is a gay couple in my complex who have been together almost 40 years who voted yes on 8. I questioned them about their yes vote and they said they are registered domestic partners, have drawn up all the legal papers such as wills, living wills, power of attorney etc. They seem to view marriage as a church blessing that they don’t need or want. Marriage, in their view, should be between one’s church and the couple. All others should be domestic parnerships which suits them just fine. Those who view religion negatively shouldn’t seek relgious blessing on their relationship. Let the church decide who to marry. Government has absolutely no business deciding issues of churches and their congregations. This is their thinking which surprised me somewhat but it made me aware that no all gays are radicals with an agenda. They want only to live their lives and be left alone and not be physically harmed like they were in years past. Militancy on either side only fans the flames of conflict. Palm Springs has a huge gay population, many retired and most in long term relationships.

I know people who don’t want to marry also. The point is it is their choice. Not ours or the majority or what the older people wnat.

Calling all who love this country and love God to VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 8.

God designed marriage and He said it is to be between one man and one woman. God designed marriage so He is the only one that can say what it is.

Why would an atheist gay man want to be labeled as married when it is God who came up with the idea of marriage? If he does not believe in God, why would he believe in this ideology? There is more to it that is why! The leftist liberal gays want to close down churches and destroy traditional families. As Joan pointed out in her article, not all gays want this. Stop those that do!

I do pray that we will never see the day when a church has to close its doors because hateful activist gay couples are suing them for preaching the Bible and the church is getting sued for a hate crime.

Vote YES on proposition 8. Tell your entire family to vote YES on proposition 8. Tell all your friends to vote YES on proposition 8. Tell your co-workers to vote YES on proposition 8. Tell strangers and new aquaintances to vote YES on proposition 8. Thank you. God bless traditional family.
