REPENT v. To sorrow or be pained for sin, as a violation of God's holy law, a dishonor to His character and government, and the foulest ingratitude to a Being of infinite benevolence.

Secondly they don't seem to understand that those of us who choose not to engage in homosexuality, and even those who do--but do not take to acting like the equivalent of broodish animals--aren't fooled by what is attempting to be done. The activists keep marching, screaming and forcing spittle to fly in little old ladies faces, for what end? To change the definition of a word. Prop 8 didn't say that those who are protesting like wild coyotes can't create a contract in which every arrangement in life that they would like can be legally protected and allowed for. There is no discrimination going on against those who choose homosexual sex, they may still practice it, obsess about it, discuss it, believe it, and do it. But there is also no value in looking at the sacred sexual union of a man and a woman--with all the societal potential that such a union provides--and summarily saying that all other sexual unions should be considered the same exact thing. They are not the same biologically, emotionally, nor physically and it is easy to determine this.

essentially they're saying that packing fudge is not marriage....

Why can't they just pick a different name for their type of relationship instead of marriage? They can have their new name, get all of the same legal rights as a relationship between a man and a woman, but why try to hijack a historical name with a clear meaning?

They're digging a pretty big hole for themselves.

While they're at it they should start inventing names for other types of relationships that are on the horizon:
-three men
-two women, one man
-two women and dog (remember, some in California don't want anyone to have "pets"; rather they want "care givers" or "guardians". Pets should then have the same rights as people and should be able to enter into "marriage" type of relationships)
-three women and two cats
-etc

Every gay couple I know would be happy with that. As long as they have the same rights and benefits as married couples (like health insurance, tax benefits, if any).

Eventually this law will pass, but it will take a whole. Just like the civil rights movement did. I watched program recently (I think it was CNN) that broke down the statistics of who voted for and against prop 8. Over all, the biggest supporters of prop 8 are the older people. They will be gone is 20 to 30 years. The younger generation doesn't seem to have an issue with gay marriage.

i string along with this completely as long as it isn't called marriage, but that seems to be the problem - it seems that having the same rights isn't enough, they want to ram the marriage label down throats; otherwise, a "civil union" law would have been passed by now.

I implore you to let go your bitterness as it does not become your positive nature. If you allow our adversaries to control your emotions, then you give them mastery over your very soul; you fall into the trap of ultimately becoming what you oppose and lose the best attributes that comprise your very essence. As I've come to know you, I have grown confident in your ability to see the good in any situation and your tenacity in conquering adversity, qualities that I admire very much in my friends. Difficult as the challenges ahead may be, the steepest mountains to be climbed do not originate from without, but from within. I am confident that you are worthy of these challenges and can overcome them, and offer a hand in friendship that we may walk this rocky path together and refuse to allow our adversaries to defeat our spirits. If your strength should falter, I will gladly offer a portion of my own, as I am doing now. Our incarceration will be difficult, but short; our victory will be hard-fought, but glorious. We will rise from the ashes of defeat and persevere to destiny. Die Wahrheit macht frei.
