OK. Putting aside the hateful rhetoric, lets look at WHY we should vote YES on Proposition 8 in California:
1. YES on 8 also defends Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. The "tolerance" that is being demanded by the proponents of same sex marriage is a total LACK of tolerance for anyone who disagrees with them. They have ALREADY attacked churches in states that allowed same sex marriage which proves their intentions for us. They had the tax exempt status of the Lutheran Church revoked in a New Jersey community and forcing Catholic Charities to close their doors on their adoptions services in Massachusetts because they refused to place children in same sex couple homes. Without a YES on 8, speaking against same sex marriage can and probably eventually will be considered as hate speech.
2. YES on 8 protects children from being exposed in ELEMENTARY school to discussions and instruction regarding same sex marriage. California law REQUIRES school teachers to teach about marriage and families and provide "age appropriate" instruction. FURTHER, as children enter middle and high school, sex education curriculum will sooner or later include instruction regarding homosexual and lesbian relationships.
3. YES on 8 does not take away ANY rights of same sex couples. California's Domestic Partnership act parallels in EVERY respect California law on marriage. YES on 8 does NOT change that. Reports that same sex partners cannot visit their partners in the hospital, have joint wills or trusts or have dual property rights is simply FALSE.
4. YES on 8 defends the traditional backbone of society. Jennifer A. Marshall oversees research in areas that determine the character of our culture: education, marriage, family, religion, and civil society as Director of Domestic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Ms. Marshall points out that non-traditional families are more likely to have children with problems and the state should not be attempting to institutionalize same sex unions when the data is too scarce to determine whether such relationships are harmful to children.
