Protect Marriage....No on 8

The anti-gay crowd has managed to get a proposition on the California ballot that would deny same-sex couples the benefit of government sponsored marriage. They have a few arguments that don't really add up to much. One such argument is the nefarious claim that same-sex couples are getting a special right just because they're gay, another is that being raised by a same-sex couple is harmful for the kids, and my personal favorite claim; same-sex marriage impedes on their religious rights. Excuse me, but it is not a religious rights issue. Nobody is forcing anybody into marrying another person of the same sex. That would be a religious rights issue and I would protest against it while laughing hysterically. But that is not happening.
