has the divorce rate and infedility rate decreased for the heterosexuals? have the quality of life improved for the children of divorce?
Have heterosexual couples who obtain marriage licenses taken the step anymore seriously than they have in the past
When will Prop. 8 help these things?Since the passing of Prop. 8 has the sancitity of traditional marriage improved?
Of course not. People like to judge others, but when it comes to improving themselves, it's a different thing
A bit like pro-lifers and the easy solution of adoption. None of them adopt kids.
It's all about talk. All about forbidding and telling people what to do. No accountabilitySince the passing of Prop. 8 has the sancitity of traditional marriage improved?
No. But here are some good reasons to keep Prop 8....
Twelve reasons gay marriage is wrong:
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. Also apparently those homosexual animals have picked up some unnatural behavior.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
11) Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
12) Civil Unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a ';separate but equal'; institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
Nope. And Massachusetts has not fallen off the globe, either, and they've had gay marriage there for a couple of years.
Also, it's interesting to me that the Mormons contributed so much money to Prop. 8, chiming in on the claim that marriage has ';always'; been between one man and one woman, when it wasn't that long ago that they believed in polygamy.
When will people learn?
No. Gay marriage is not the reason for the degradation of marriage - it is a symptom.
However simply giving gays the right to marry will not decrease the number of divorces nor add to the sanctity of marriage.
Indeed it has %26gt;I have heard of men telling their wives to once again become the property of their husbands and to submit to his needs without question so that they may better fulfill the requirements of traditional marriage.\
Btw
Well written Franklin
no, the only way people look at Prop 8 is in the sense of the Gay Marriage agenda. No one really cares or shows concern for the other outcomes that may arise.
nope. people need to take a hard look at their own marriages before they start discriminating others from ';the holy union of marriage';. Most of those people are a bunch of hypocrites.
I don't believe it has, now do I believe that it will, nor do I believe that prop 8 is constitutional.
It has improved. By bringing marriage back to what it should be. Between a man and a woman.
No, heterosexuals still take it for granted as always.
No.
It won't...
It's been preserved, yes.
One must remember that (like it or not) for many people, legalizing same-sex ';marriage'; - men marrying men and women marrying women - would render the entire concept of marriage relatively meaningless.
Apparently, 52% of California's electorate agreed with this sentiment.
Although the belief among others that that frequent divorce and other factors have already ';adulterated'; (pun intended) the concept of marriage is also prevalent.
Perhaps people voted for Proposition 8 to prevent even further deterioration of this venerable institution.
Every time some judge makes some pro-gay ruling, homos take to the streets with their PDA's. When Brokeback Mountain played at a local theater, I had to hear two homos in a stall in the men's bathroom. Good thing my kid wasn't with me.
Get the idea yet?
I am not for discrimination, but people are already aware of Rovian tactics the gay community is using. That is why prop8 passed. You can't just say that marriage is a right so many times and have it be so. Rovian tactics are tired and jaded.
You would have better luck with moving your agenda forward if you didn't shove your PDA's in our faces and eliminated your flamboyant 'pride' parades.
It will prevent destroying it.
A marriage is between a man and a woman.
Now if gays who are people who want to abnormal sexual behavior with someone else. want to live together, they need to find another way. besides calling it a marriage.
Marriage = 1 man 1 women. Gays = civil unions
as long as Gays can't legally marry==everything has improved
Nope but it hasn't been made meaningless either..
yes
