On Prop 8

I'm making an offical endoursement for a "no" vote on Prop 8. But before I do, I'd like to open the floor to anyone who has a good reason that I should vote yes. Notice the emphasis on good. Because I've read/heard lots of reasons why people are voting yes, but they're all lame. Seriously.

* The bible says.
Yes, I suppose it does. Only, the bible isn't our law. If it was we'd live in a theocracy, and maybe you want that. I don't.
* They'll teach gay marriage in schools.
This is a lie and dumb and a lie and a scare tactic. Next!
* It hurts marriages.
You know what hurts marriages? Divorce. Las Vegas hurts marriages. Brittney Spears hurts marriages. Teens getting married just so they can have sex, that hurts marriage.
* It validates the "gay" adgenda.
What that? For people to be free from persecution and discrimination? You're right, that's downright evil.
* Three judges overruled the will of the people in the first place.
Good point. But isn't that's their job? To rule on cases where maybe the majority of people are full of shit? Because we still have a constitution, even if the majority of people wish it weren't so.
* Gays can already get similar rights in civil unions.
First off, similar isn't the same. Second, quit parsing fucking words. It either is or it isn't marriage. And if it is not marriage, then someone is being denied a right.

So, the only argument I'll except from any of you from this point forward is this: You don't want gays to marry cause it's icky.
