<p>
The decision virtually ensures another fight at the ballot box over marriage rights for gays. Gay rights activists say they may ask voters to repeal the marriage ban as early as next year, and opponents have pledged to fight any such effort. Proposition 8 passed with 52% of the vote.</p>

<p>
Looking at the wording only, that's exactly what they are doing.   Whether the right of marriage to exist solely between a man &amp; a woman is a "right," that's another argument.   </p>

<p>
Religiously, spiritually, I agree with the decision, but politically &amp; matter-of-factly, I'd prefer the government not have <i>any</i> jurisdiction over the union between my wife and I nor any other two consenting adults.   </p>

<p>
It also makes sense, to me, that homosexuals should receive health insurance via a working partner, and should be able to file taxes jointly, I just don't know how you make that work logistically w/o allowing civil union (which is what I prefer the gov't to refer to my relationship with my wife as).  And again, I don't condone the lifestyle, and will teach my children that it is abnormal, but that they should treat them with the same respect as any other stranger/adult/acquaintance. </p>

<p>
I think it's a ridiculous notion to define who I am using my sexuality as the forerunner, and find it equally ridiculous when homosexuals do the same.  You want it to be a norm in society? Make it a norm within yourself first.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/74138</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/74138</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Legacy Fan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2009 22:40:33 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Prop 8 Upheld in Cali Supreme Court on Wed, 27 May 2009 19:35:45 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/ballpeen" aria-label="Profile: ballpeen">@<bdi>ballpeen</bdi></a> <a href="/post/74025">said</a>:</p>Our government isn't intended to be void of God.
