Topic: Vote Yes on Proposition 8
I have many gay friends and I respect their lifestyle as they respect mine. I am not a homophobic or anything like that, I am a citizen that owns very strong beliefs and I am sharing this with you guys.

-Proposition 8 is about preserving marriage; it's not an attack on the gay relationship and/or lifestyle. It doesn't take away any rights or benefits of gay or lesbian domestic partnerships. Under California law, 'domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits' as married spouses. (Family code 297.5) There are NO exceptions. Proposition 8 WILL NOT change this.

-It protects our children from being taught in public schools that 'same-sex marriage' is the same as traditional marriage.
-Your Yes on Proposition 8 vote ensures that parents can teach their children about marriage according to their own values and beliefs without conflicting messages being forced on young children in public schools that gay marriage is okay.
-The narrow decision of the California Supreme Court isn't just about 'live and let live.' State law may require teachers to instruct children as young as kindergarteners about marriage (Education Code 51890.) If the gay ruling is not overturned, TEACHERS COULD BE REQUIRED to teach young children there is NO DIFFERENCE between gay marriage and traditional marriage.

-We should not accept a court decision that may result in public schools teaching our kids that gay marriage is okay. That is an issue for parents to discuss with their children according to their own values and beliefs. It shouldn't be forced on us against our will.

-If gay activists want to legalize gay marriage, they should put it on the ballot. Instead, they have gone behind the backs of voters and convinced four activist judges in San Francisco to redefine marriage for the rest of society. That is the wrong approach.
-Your Yes vote ensures that the WILL of people is respected.
It overturns the flawed legal reasoning of four judges in San Francisco who wrongly disregarded the people's vote, and ensures that gay marriage can be legalized only through a vote of the people.
