What really bugs me is that despite the election being over, people are still bringing up Proposition 8 and how "we must all band together to fight against it". Now all these petitions are up to "repeal" the vote, and many groups are joining together to bring Proposition 8 down. Get over yourself.
We had an election to vote on whether or not homosexual people should be allowed to marry. The election would determine 'yes' or 'no'. And Proposition 8 passed because the majority of Californians want marriage to be defined as between a man and a woman. It won. So why are there protests and rallys against it? THE PROPOSITION PASSED.
I read blogs and notes about people being 'disappointed and ashamed to be a Californian.' There are many angry posts regarding the results of Prop. 8, and quite frankly, it sickens me. People who voted 'yes' on Prop. 8 are not homophobic or scared or nervous. I have friends that are gay, and I am perfectly happy for them.
The reason is that it will bring change to California that we are not ready for.
What will happen after we legalize same-sex marriage? In the Netherlands, they legalized same-sex marriage in 2001, and to date, incest and polygamy is now legal. We can't have incest nor can we have polygamy here in the United States.
Same-sex marriage takes away the rights of the general population. Children need a mother and a father to be role models in their lives. Children with the same-sex parents are denied of that right. People who don't believe in same-sex marriage are talked down upon and prosecuted as speaking "hate speeches".
Same sex marriage is not a civil right. Homosexuality is a "sexual orientation" that can change, and it is not observable at birth. If a "sexual orientation" is categorized as a civil right, then so would pedophilia, polygamy, and incest.
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
—Genesis 1:27 (NKJV)
If God intended there to be homosexual and heterosexual marriages in the world, He would have prepared our bodies for it. "Homosexual anal intercourse carries a high risk of disease, this is recognized in Scripture where gay men are said to receive in their bodies the due penalty for their error (Romans 1:27)."
The LGBT are not accepted by God. How can it be possible to be gay but be a Christian and do right in God's eye?
Many people are saying that love cannot be enforced. "All you need is love" right? "This is simply not true. Marriage is not based on emotion any more than any other partnership in life is. Marriage, like many human activities, involves emotion but it is not constituted by the presence of any particular set of emotions. I do not deny that many homosexuals feel deeply for their partners; however I do assert that no matter how deep the feelings, what they have is not a marriage in God's sight. It is a beautiful deception."
It is not because we are against LGBT people. We simply don't want there to be too much change. And legalizing gay marriage will be the beginning of this unwanted change.
