but, you have to face the fact that most people now, as when the constitution was written, are religious. so the morals of religion will prevail when faced with the state.
i somehow see this staying as is, but with a lot of fighting to follow.
don't get me wrong, i'm all for equality, but if you're truly a follower of some religion (christianity/judaism/muslim) then you can't really argue for equality in this case. if you don't pertain to a certain religion, then i can grasp where you're coming from.
i think if the people against prop 8, just informed better, they might've got better support to negate the prop. the supporter of prop, just played the hand better and they won. all there is to politics. just appeal to the people more and you win.

hate to say this, no take that back I don't hate to say this. What you have written above is ignorance in the name of Religion. It does not make it right.
Just because people are religious does not take precedent over constitutional law either. It never did and the minute it does the country we know as the United States will disappear into a Religious Oligarchy.
To many Religions and people of Religious belief today take judgement into their own hands.
If you believe in Christ and God you believe in acceptance and that its not your place to judge. It does not say that you can make laws against people due to your religious belief.
If you do judge? Which these people are doing, then you shall be judged, according to your own beliefs.
I just love, how the religious right manages to violate, the very scriptures they are trying to uphold in the name of God. That with their own actions in the name of God.
I.E. you may feel it is wrong, you may feel God believes it wrong. Though its not your place to judge. If you do then your playing the role of God.
