Only five percent of Canadian homosexuals are married. Thus, we can conclude, homosexuals only want to use the issue as a battering ram to force their perversion on others.

Well here’s the deal...they don’t want to just leave it at that. They want to brainwash other people’s children with homoness even if the parents don’t want them to. They were able to get the 9th Circuit Court to rule that parental rights stop at the schoolhouse door. In other words, parents don’t have the right to pull their children out of the brainwashing sessions when the queers come to school to teach them how to be tolerant little soldiers.

The intolerant demanding tolerance.

To protest outside or to attempt to break in?

I don’t know about the motivations—just that KTLA was reporting that was their direction of march.

But, I think if two gays want a committed relationship with the same benefits (drawbacks?) under the law as two heteros, I don’t really have a problem with that. If they insist on calling it marriage, I think it’s a little wacky but not enough to put up a fight about it.

If it is codified into law, then it is protected by law--and spirals into other laws. Anti-discrimination laws, hate crime laws, etc. make them a protected class. You then have free speech abridged and quoting the Bible in public gets you thrown in jail (this has happened in Sweden, Canada, and laws proposed in Brazil and Australia. Also the protected anti-discrimination status makes it harder for health insurance companies to charge more for their risky lifestyle choices. It makes way for schools to promote homosexual activity to children.

But most of all, it further delegitimizes the family unit and structure, and weakens support for the little societal aid that families are given today.

I am listening to this protest on the scanner....at least they arent attacking cars and such as others would.

The same sex folks have no one to blame but the blacks who came out for Obama. (and Hispanics) This measure didnt even pass in Los Angeles, where this protest is, because of black, who voted for prop 8.

Once you redefine the term “Marriage” beyond it's strict meaning, you open the door to everything that will destroy it as an Institution.

It isn't about Gay Marriage, it's about Polygamy, it's about Incest, it's about Marriage not meaning anything.

The CA Attorney General, Jerry Brown, purposely changed the definition of the Proposition 8 as a Ban on Gay Marriage, which it really wasn't. It defined Marriage as being between a Man and a Woman.

I don’t really “get” the gay marriage issue...

Well, to begin with, you must understand that "gay marriage" is non-sequitur; the very term "marriage" absolutely REQUIRES, as an inherent part of its definition, an opposite-gendered couple.

If this still isn't clear to you, go spend five minutes in the fastener aisle at your local hardware store; take a pair of bolts out of a bin and "marry" them. No fair using other, uh, "attachments"; you've got to do it using JUST the two same-gendered fasteners. If you ever succeed, THEN you are free to support "gay marriage".

Now, the next thing you need to grasp is that this attempt to legally force "marriage" to be a term that applies to same-gendered couples. also, is rather like what we'd see if the softball leagues began lobbying to have their game called "baseball"; NOT, mind you, that they want their game to change; they just want it called "baseball" so they can be "equal" to the players in the Major Leagues.

Finally, the last thing you need to understand is that, in all of this, the tactics of the "queerly beloved" have run strangely parallel to those of the softball leagues; right down to the big balls and the underhanded pitching.

Sounds like they’re headed out of W. Hollywood into Beverly Hills.

As Rush is fond of saying, "Words mean things!" and "marriage" means a man and a woman committed and bound to one another 'till death. (at least)

so who died in rush's marriages lol.

When marriage means anything and everything, it will mean nothing. That is why they won’t stop pushing.

It’s next door? Actually, there’s a shopping joke in there somewhere, but I can’t use it until January 2013.
