Yes on 8 puts the California Law BACK to it's original stand point whereas Only a man and woman can be legally binded by marriage.
In 2000 or 2003(can't remember exactly) This was changed so that men and men or women and women can also be married AS THE RESULT of four activist judges ILLEGALLY overturning a measure previously voted on to keep marriage straight. So NOW we have to vote again to put it back the right way.
California already let's homosexual couples get a "Domestic Partnership" in which they have ALL the EXACT same laws and benefits of marriage. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. Prop 8 is NOT an attack on the gay lifestyle WHATSOEVER.
No on 8 is simply a cry by the gay community for the title of marriage, when they can already have all the rights of it. It's like this: You have a million dollars, but your not called a "millionaire". Are you going to care about that really?
Furthermore, No on 8 adds TONS of taxes if it passes. Most of the people who are making a huge fuss about this measure? PEOPLE UNDER 18 who DON'T pay taxes.
So to summarize, this measure is just to get the laws back to it's original state. The "title" of marriage is for men and women only. Gays have "domestic partnership", where the laws are completely the same in every way. Now that you know the facts, make a smartly based opinion on it.
Vote YES on 8. (if your voting and not 13)
dude, domestic partnership isnt the same as marriage. u wanna know whats really ****ed up? gays pay the exact same amount in taxes as anyone else yet they get less rights and a petty cover up called "domestic partnership" and about saying vote on 8 if your not 13 ur retarded. i didnt tell anyone what they should vote for. i told what prop 8 does. u wanna start flamming and shit. do what hanks saying and imagine you were gay, u wouldnt want some petty piece of shit thing called a parthnership...**** that.
