Gay Marriage, Proposition 8

How sad is it that people think that being able to get married is a right. It is not a right. Not too mention we have all kinds of laws that govern who can get married and under what circumstances it can happen.

Gays have developed a history of expecting EXTRA rights to be guaranteed to them, when in reality they do not deserve any thing extra. Why should be select any group of people an confer on to them some special status deserving of more consideration than the rest of society?

Most jurisdictions around the United States have some sort of civil union statutes that allow any two people to enter into a relationship that is legally binding, much like a marriage would be. It carries with it all the weight that a marriage certificate would have. They get to share insurance plans, pensions plans and inheritance rights.

There is absolutely no reason that gays should be able to get married to each other when the VAST majority if our citizens in this country are against it. The fact that the voters of California voted against gay marriage says it all. They do not want that, and therefore it is the will of the people. It is not discrimination.

The liberals in our society will not be satisfied until there are no moral boundaries. Until they erode all of our values in this country so that there are not consequences to anything, they will not be happy.

What time period was better as far as our society now, or 1970, or 1960, 1950. I would proffer to you that our society was safer and happier 40 years ago, than it is today. Yes, people will bring up the racial inequalities of earlier periods, and that is true, but if you remove that element from the discussion it is very clear what time was better, and it certainly is not the amoral, decadent lifestyles of today.
