The mormons, more specifically, the mormon CHURCH (in utah), contributed huge amounts of money, time, and resources (phone banks, etc) to defeat (I guess I should say pass) a CALIFORNIA initative. Both times that the "public" has voted to remove this basic and funamental right (Life, Liberty, & Persuit of HAPPINESS is what the Declaration of Independance says.) they have violated law. Civil, constitutional, and natural laws. The COURTS proved that. And why, or how, they failed to have the backbone to stick to their guns a few short months later is beyond me. At one time, "the people" voted that black people were only 3/5 of a human. And had to use seperate resturants, bathrooms, hotels, SCHOOLS, ad neausum. Something tells me that the 16th president of the US knew that for the bullpucky that it was. One time, "the people" also voted that alcohol was bad. Seems that didn't work out so well either. When are we going to learn? And, finally, before you drag out "the will of the people" again, realize that prop 8 passed by a mere 2.5 percent. That's far from a "the will." Fact is, laws are supposed to protect the minorities from the majorities. For reference, if you ever want to know if a law is fair and equitable, replace the group you are demonizing, and replace it with your own. If the law still sounds good and fair, it probably is. If it doesn't, it never was. For example if prop 8 said that all straight marriage was illegal, that marriage was only to be between 2 men or 2 women, would that give you a "hey, yeah! Sure, let's go for that!" response? or maybe a "WTF!?!!" Secondly, homosexuality is not, never has been, never will be, the same as beastiality, necrophilia, nor pedophilia; so for the love of god (lower case, not a "deity") stop saying that!!! Homosexuality is as much a choice for me as heterosexuality was for you. Jeremy Brian:

Chances are if you screw random people straight or gay its for lust. If you marry someone chances are its for the really difficult emotion of "love." If you love someone providing their the right age limit, you should be with them. If David marries Jack, the thing that would bother me is incompatibility not that its 2 guys. Like I said before "gay" is not just sexual, its what you are attracted to emotionally. Whores are whores, dont get it confused. Hi all,

You left out that kids, animals and corpses are not consenting adults. Here's my strategy against the mormon church's opposition to gay marriage, though I don't anybody will take it up: Make both gay marriage and plural marriage legal. We'll get on board with plural marriage if they'll get out of the way of gay marriage. Plural gay marriage? Negotiable. I don’t know that pedophilia is hard-wired, just contagious and incurable.

Considering the huge difficulties homosexuals face, why would someone choose to be gay? The only advantage to it is avoiding that seat-up/seat-down argument. The same goes for pedophilia. It's hard wired, so they should be locked up for life. (I'm talking about real pedophiles, not an 18 year old with a 16 year old girlfriend.) The Mormons deserve to be singled out because they are a huge, driving force behind the "God Hates Fags" movement. Alleged homosexual Fred Phelps is a minor player – so obviously batshit no one takes him seriously. By contrast the Mormons are a force to be reckoned with. They spent twenty million dollars inciting hatred to fight gay marriage in California. As this cheesy ad shows, they're just getting started. We should not be able to vote away other people's basic civil rights. It doesn't matter if the majority opposes gay marriage, as long as the state is involved in the marriage business everyone should have the same rights. The simplest solution is to get the government out of the marriage business. Let them endorse civil unions – basic contracts - for anyone who wants them and let the individuals involved decide if they want to call it a marriage or not. But that's not going to happen in our lifetime, so the best alternative is to let whoever wants to get married. I have yet to hear a good argument against gay marriage. "The People" don't want it? Screw them, they're idiots. And idiots shouldn't be making other people's decisions for them. In most cases sexual preference is hard-wired.

I don't think anyone would agree that someone marrying a corpse, a child or an animal should be treated the same as your marriage to your wife. Second, the people of California have voted twice against gay marriage and there is now a second attempt to use the courts to over rule the people. Third, when the latest proposition in favor of gay marriage was defeated (by the people), of all the groups opposed to gay marriage the gays chose to attack ... THE MORMONS, not the Christians, or the Jews, or any of the big groups against it, just the Mormons. So this is mostly an attempt (and a poor one) at an answering shot. Now I have no use at all for religion, in fact I think the world would be much better off and safer if religion were outlawed. I also think that someone telling me that I will go to hell if I don't accept their religion is about as intelligent as them saying I will die if a black cat crosses my path. As for the different religions, I rank Mormonism one step above Scientology on the "Stupid Factor" so I can't really defend them, so I will try to ignore BOTH groups and hopefully they will go away.
