Prop 8 Ruling

If I think about the Constitution of United States of America (of which I am a citizen) I believe that I am or should be offered the same rights as any other citizen. I am willing to go to the battle ground (and have been asked to do so) to protect each and every brother and sister, mother and father, aunt and uncle, grandfather and grandmother, niece and nephew and each and every one of their friends yet some of them want to tell me that I can not marry the person I love so dearly and want to spend my life with; where my heart and happiness grow daily.

People who feel that marriage is between a man and a women clearly are not homosexual and there for have the ability to share their love with whomever they choose (again, of the opposite sex). That is a religious believe and not everyone is religious and should not be forced to live by those "rules". This is not a religious debate but a question of civil rights. My rights.

This is about FREEDOM OF CHOICE. The freedom for one to choose their church, the freedom for one to choose their future and the freedom for one to choose who they want to marry (or UN-marry) FREEDOM, A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

As I heard it said on TV recently:
"Gay, straight, black or white, marriage is a civil right"

I, as a citizen of the United States of America, should not I be forced to live my life based on someone elses' believes (although they are entitled to those believes and can use them to structure their life and it's journey)

My believes and my thoughts DON NOT EQUAL MY RIGHTS.

This is not an issue of sodomy (that infers a prejudice against gay men). Also, there are laws all around the united states of America that should be reviewed as they no longer valid or appropriate (for example, the town of Longton KS currently has a law that "colored people are not allowed out after dark). Clearly, times change as should some of the inappropriate laws.

Hi - what I think is that this thing about Religion - should be taxed - or not be thrown around to people who do NOT believe in any of it -- but what I think of marriage - is if your in LOVE then so be i t ( in Love ) but not for the church to be involved - just do it - but not the thing of any type of sex in public man kissing man in public - or women kissing women in public - I think that the people who think that this gay thing is wrong is NOT ... just keep it to them selves .... not in public - __________________ more to come soon ....
