Awesome news - the state has given pretty much all the same rights to domestic partners that married couples have. Of course, there is already a group trying to repeal it by initiative.

And yet you always hear, "It's not that we object to extending rights to gay people, we object to the use of the word marriage."

That is strange. Agreeing with Phyllis Rogers Stone, that is the rhetoric that people who oppose gay marriage typically use, such as myself. They should not be trying to repeal it, this just makes them look like absolute homophobes.

As for age, I am 17. For those of you who are older and wiser, don't discount my arguments based on that please. As for the religious home environment, no. My parents are both atheists, although I live in a more conservative neighborhood, I don't ever speak to any of the neighbors, and go to school in a liberal area.

Side note- I love your picture Q haha.

Q, when was it ever not the case? I believe this country is moving towards gay marriage anyway, seeing the broader acceptance of gays in the community, but some of these tactics, such as trying to undo the will of the liberal state of California on that issue just seems unnecessary, and will only fuel the hatred of homophobes, which is what the thread was about where i posted that as I am sure you are aware.
Danmag, I still don't know who Rodneyk is... should I?
JoeKv99, I prefer actual arguments, rather than stupid comments meant to be rude. Get some substance (no matter how stupid it is) or don't bother commenting please.

Oh my gosh, all this time I've been the one causing homophobia... and I didn't even realize. It's all my fault! I'm so sorry everyone!
