Melissa Etheridge Calls Prop 8 'Blatantly Hateful'

Hate is not a family value!
Make love not war.
We are all equal under the law.
I am an American.
I am entitled to equal rights and protections as an American citizen.
I pay my taxes.
I am responsible.
I deserve to be loved and to love whom ever I connect with.
I am a lesbian and I am monogamous.
My life does not change yours nor yours change mine.
The laws are regulated to protect equal rights.
Same sex marriage is an equal right.
You are not God.
You are not my God.
Americans have no room for intolerance.
Intolerance is as old as WWII and the Nazi generation.
History has told us that intolerance is unjustified.
You are no better than I.
We are equal under the law.
I am an American.

As far as same sex re;ationships thats their choice but not push it on athers to feel good about yourselves. Even thou the bible was wrote by man it is still the word of God Almighty. He is the only one that can judge us and decide what will happen to all of us here on earth.

Everyone deserves the right to marry. There really isn't any reason to debate this.

Next you "Un-Christian" People (do you actually think that God wants men on men, and woman on woman) will be asking for the right to keep guns at grade schools while allowing young teachers to have sex with very young students. Drop another hit of Sunshine...Dude!!!

What you people don't realize is that GOD is the only person that can judge people. What would all of you haters do if God made your daughters lesbians and your sons gay. Then what would you vote for.

I am straight and married and I don't want anyone interfering in my relationship and decisions and every person should have that right. Please don't argue about the "sanctity of marriage" where heterosexual marriages last about 5 minutes or spouses are cheating. Maybe same-sex marriage would improve the success rate of marriage. to facjust4, it actually sounds like the subject was introduced in a small way to each grade, not as an entire year-long curriculum as you suggest. In high school, we had many speakers. A good teacher presents information to students and encourages them to make their own evaluation. A good parent does the same thing. I don't live in California, but I wish I did so I could vote NO for Prop 8.

I'm gay. How does that effect you on a daily basis and therefore leads to me being unable to get married to whom I love because I am "not normal"? What makes you so "normal"? Me and my lifestyle do not effect any of you haters on a daily basis, you go out of your way to hate me. And if you ever met me, you'd never even know I was gay. Wouldn't that just suck.

Well, I have been together with my same sex partner for 25 years! I don't need the approval of the christians, (a christian woman brought me out of the closet), I don't need the approval of my state, because I don't care what they think. At least in Washington we have state approved domestic partnership law where we can actually make decisions about health issues, or even in death about one another.
Teaching about homosexuality is long over due. Maybe there wouldn't be so much controversy if it was being taught 20 or 30 yrs. ago. It's people like me who have made it easier for the younger generation of gay people to feel more comfortable with themselves about being gay and getting out of the closet.

I do not believe in gay marriage however I would except some type of (union) say for medical reasons for same sex couples. It just gets to me when same sex ppl have to flaunt it all loud I'M GAY!!!!! I do not walk around screaming I'M STRAIGHT!!!!! Just live your life, my little kids don't need to know your bussiness like that or be forced to learn about it in Elem. school.

If we don't Judge then how do we Forgive ?
I think the word is condemn
