Holy Lunatics Batman!

Okay seriously... people are INSANE over Prop 8 in California! I find is so odd that people are so up in arms over something that probably doesn't directly effect them.

I voted a big NO on Prop 8.

I believe marriage is between a loving and committed couple. It makes no difference to me if that couple is gay or straight. Everyone should have the same right to stand in front of their loved ones and profess their love and commitment for their partner.. regardless of sexual orientation.

To strip certain individuals of their basic human rights because you have a personal problem with gay couples using the term "married" is just cruel. I can't understand and honestly.. I don't want to understand it.

I was raised to believe everyone is an equal. Everyone deserves to be treated with the same respect. Everyone deserves to be treated as a human being. I thank my parents for that - they instilled a great foundation in me.. and it's something I will pass on to our son.

On a side note..

If I hear one more person spout "the sanctity of marriage".. I'm going to vomit. The "sanctity" of marriage went out the window once we had a 50% divorce rate and drive thru wedding chapels. Get over it!

Okay, thanks.
