While it may make the handful of you participating in this "protest" feel better, it doesn't help those of us who have been working on this issue get anything accomplished.

In fact, it makes our work even harder. And it gives bad publicity that turns off the generally uneducated folks out there that we're trying to move to our side. You know, the undecided folks in the middle, who we need to appeal to rationally?

Besides, it is not illegal, unethical, or even immoral for an individual to put his money where his beliefs are -- even if you disagree with him! How is this any less offensive than when the "G-d hates fags" idiots come and protest funerals?

Sorry, homosexuality is not mainstream, and while I love and respect my friends' decisions to be gay, I do not support changing the structure of marriage, which has been a building block of society for millenia.

Shall I provide my address for a protest outside my house? How quickly can you organize? Incidentally, in case I hadn't made myself perfectly clear, I am disgusted by this page and all the drama right now over Prop 8.

So this "to-do" is not just about the term marriage. Over the yearas a whole plethora of presumed rights have been associated with marriage. Those are what is being denied.

If I'm not mistaken, the LDS Church has said that it has no problems with making sure that Civil Unions provide all the same rights and privileges as marriages currently do.

In fact, I think California still has full-privilege civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, even though the term "marriage" has been stripped away.

So, and I'm honestly curious, is this whole to-do just about the term marriage and its social conventions?
Posted by Honestly Curious]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:42:53 -0800 The Stranger year on a campaign that has stolen my civil rights from me. I'm protesting to show the world that when the majority steals rights from the minority, that minority will not go down without a FIGHT. It's not about violence or white powder or arson; it's about righteous anger in the face of injustice. And Mr. $50K has it coming in spades.

"You already HAVE all the rights that everyone else has."

Really? So when a gay person's partner is ill in the hospital and they are not married and get denied visitation rights, is that the SAME as a married couple where visitation rights AUTOMATICALLY are granted to the spouse?

And when a gay person's partner dies does the surviving partner automatically benefit for estates as do the spouses of MARRIED people?

You are an idiot who opens his mouth without having a clue what you are talking about.
