I think we all see that people on both sides of this issue feel that some of their rights are being infringed upon.Heather {Healthy Family Cookin}https://www.blogger.com/profile/11768040636738611211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397099540731173034.post-6386014622662499592009-02-28T09:19:00.000-08:002009-02-28T09:19:00.000-08:00Heather,Proposition 8 in no way limits what parent...Heather,<BR/>Proposition 8 in no way limits what parents can teach their children about their own value systems. It is disingenuous of you to make that claim when the real issue is, you believe that gay people are your moral inferiors and you don't want the state to recognize their relationships because of it. Teach your kids whatever you want, but don't try to impose your religious views on the whole state.JimCrackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533079047376264018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397099540731173034.post-35590306966096215102009-02-27T18:56:00.000-08:002009-02-27T18:56:00.000-08:00Buffy,I realize this is a very sensitive issue and...Buffy,<BR/><BR/>I realize this is a very sensitive issue and one that people feel very strongly about on both sides. Our concern is that if proposition 8 were to be overruled, the rights of parents who support marriage between one man and one woman would be overruled with it.Heather {Healthy Family Cookin}https://www.blogger.com/profile/11768040636738611211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397099540731173034.post-25370144150472575002009-02-27T17:07:00.000-08:002009-02-27T17:07:00.000-08:00Which form of "traditional marriage" do you suppor...Which form of "traditional marriage" do you support? There are many, you realize. The Mosuo people of China engage in what anthropologists have called "walking marriage" in which women are free to sleep with whomever they like, with children being cared for by the woman's family. The girls of the !Kung San in Botswana typically marry several times before they settle into a final long-term relationship. The Canela consider loss of virginity just one step into marriage for a woman. Your own Bible includes and condones polygamy and concubines in marriage.<BR/><BR/>Educate yourself. Your claim that "one man, one woman" marriage is the only one that has ever existed and been acceptable is patently false, and your attempt to deny marriage to others is blatant bigotry.<BR/><BR/><BR/>BTW, would you believe people who sought to ban Mormonism on the grounds that they wanted to "protect traditional faith", but didn't hate you or want to offend you? Do you now see why we find you to be disingenuous when you preach the nonsense that you love gay people while you do everything in your power to eradicate our rights?Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328034026300036704noreply@blogger.com
