CAGiversary!
Just curious where you californian CAG's stand if you had to vote on the propostion today. Yes on prop 8 bans same sex marriage, No on prop 8 allows same sex marriage. If you don't know much, educate yourself and realize it's not the proposition the gay-influenced-liberal-media tells you. This is a fork in the road for our state and our nation, for "as california goes, so goes the nation." For more information, go to iprotectmarriage.com
If gays have a right to get married, then how can they say a man doesn't have the right to marry his daughter, or a minor, or three women? The same-sex marriage movement has more to do with validation and social respect than legal rights. But the cost to the rest of society is far too much to pay.
If Prop. 8 loses, churches likely will face lawsuits and persecution if they don't perform same-sex ceremonies.
Churches, synagogues, mosques and other centers of worship have beliefs, practices, and traditions they use to determine what heterosexual couples must meet prior to marriage. That isn't bias; that's freedom of religion.
The government doesn't (as of yet) tell faith-based groups who they can...
If same-sex marriage remains legal, what will happen if a church or religious institution refuses to perform a marriage ceremony for individuals that runs contrary to its belief system? If it refuses, it may be accused of discrimination and be subject to a lawsuit. That is not freedom of religion.
Same-sex marriage separates marriage from parenthood. In Norway, where it has been accepted for a decade, marriage has nearly disappeared, and 70 percent of children are born out of wedlock.
In countries where gay marriage is legal, the average gay man has six partners per year outside of their same-sex marriage. And the average marriage lasts less than two years.
Children from fatherless homes account for 63% of youth suicides, 70% of long-term prison inmates, 71% of high school dropouts, 85% of youth prisoners, and 90% of runaways.
Prop. 8 protects and strengthens society by promoting marriage between a man and a woman.
Simply put, traditional marriage is better for us, mentally, physically and psychologically. We're not making it up; public health statistics confirm this. That's just another reason why Prop. 8 needs to be passed.
Take just one example: Men in traditional marriages are way better off than unmarried men.
For centuries, marriage as a legal, civil and religious institution between a man and a woman has protected children and society in every country and culture.
In March 7, 2000, 61% of California voters passed Proposition 22 — to keep marriage between a man and a woman. [1]
On Aug. 8, 2008, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported that 53% of new HIV infections in 2006 occurred in gay or bisexual men. More infections occurred among young people under 30 (aged 13–29) than any other age group (34%, or 19,200). African Americans, while comprising 13% of the US population, accounted for 45% of the new HIV infections in 2006. [3] [4]

- They live longer: Unmarried men have a 250% higher mortality rate.
- They're happier: The latest data show that 40% of married people say they are very happy with their life in general, compared with less than 25% of single or cohabitating individuals.
- They're richer: Married men earn more too... 10-40% more than single or cohabitating men.
