AHH! Yes on Prop 8?!

Ohh... All the Rage should be for Fiesta Related... but anyway...

I hope the ~~Yes~~ NO votes wins. People kept saying "I wont enforce my opinion on others" yet they stop others from marrying the ones they love just because of their gender.

I really don't see why they're not allowed in this day and age. It's not like if the marriage is between a man and woman, it'd make it much more happier and last forever after.

Esp in a country that's not run by dictatorship (is that the word?)

EDIT: Wait, voting YES = support same sex marriage right?

If you're gay, wouldnt you WANT that?

Double EDIT: I mis-read... I'd go for No as well. Support same sex marriage.

So they want to take it away?

Oh God dammit. I keep forgetting all the rage is Fiesta related... Which by the way, why is? Can't there a rage section for real-life situations? ._.

Just because you support the cause, they shouldn't assume you're gay. So if they were to ask, just say you sympathize?

My parents,the ultra-Christians they are, wouldn't buy it.

Oh, please, Yosei. My parents think I'm gay just because a few of my friends are and I'm not married. If he gets involved openly, his parents will jump to that conclusion. The people who are vocal supporters of this type of thing aren't usually big on logic or reason.

My dad told me if I ever became a lesbian, he would disown me. He is your stereotypical Catholic man. I openly let them know I support gay marriage and adoption... doesn't make me gay. I just feel if two people love eachother, let it be.

Personally I think it'd take another generation or two for the society to accept homosexuals... there's still people in my parents and older generation that frown about this type of stuff... (and my parents arent even religious)

but all my non religous friends, (i dont have many religious friends anyway) are all very accepting that, everyone has the right to love anyone, regardless of their gender.

Unfortunately there's still more people from older generations that cant see through that, so majority wins usually...

I think most parents hope that their kids are heterosexual, no parents really think "omg i hope my kid is homosexual" so... i think its normal for parents to act like that...

of coz, if they've got a religious background their reaction would probably be more "OMG NOOOO" but even if your parents are not christian / catholic.. it'll still be hard for them to accept...
