So much of what we hear about Prop 8 revolves around the adults who claim rights to their individual interests. The standard which has been called marriage since the dawn of time has been such between a man and a woman because that”s how families are naturally created ? between men and women.
So take it up with Mother Nature or your Creator or whoever you want to blame. Genders have been designed with a purpose. The biological purpose of our genders is to work together to create and grow families. That”s fairly obvious and does not require marriage to pull off. There are plenty of single parents in our world today.
However, we have all been forced into the position of clarifying our laws that protect committed relationships between moms and dads because of selfish demands made by people who refuse to honor the traditions that have enabled us to exist.
These people have become accustomed to demanding personal freedoms change every time they make a new personal choice. These people don”t stand for any one thing, and they insist on disallowing anyone else to stand for something.
There seems to be an ignorance among gay advocates for why marriage has existed as it is since the dawn of time along with an arrogance in demanding the wheel be reinvented according to their progressive ideals.
There also seems to be absolutely no appreciation from gay advocates for how marriage affects our kids. Gay rights advocates are all about demanding what they want because they want it. There is no other consideration in their lives. Prop 8 is a perfect example.
Allowing gay marriages impedes on the existence of life by taking away the fundamental right that our children have to a mother and father. Children have civil rights too. The most basic of these comes from being parented in a home that supports their mother and father.
Gay rights advocates will have you believe that a No vote on Prop 8 will prevent people from choosing who they love or how they behave with the people they choose to love. The truth is there is no law that can prevent either of these choices. What the law can do is set a standard for how we raise our children. History has shown children do best – not better, best – when they are able to live in a low conflict home with a mother and a father. Gay rights advocates opposing Prop 8 don”t show any consideration for the future of children in this regard. A society that imposes standards is considered by them to be repressive rather than productive. All that matters to gay advocates are their personal desires. They show no other concern.
It”s our responsibility as parents to protect our children from people with selfish ambition.
The best we can give our children matters to me and to a lot of other people in our state. A YES vote on Prop 8 gives the power of family values back to our kids and sets a clear boundary line that our kids can learn to develop their standards.
