Why I’m voting YES on 8
My views on drugs and sexuality are libertarian. I believe what’s done behind closed doors are up to the person. I also think marriage should be reserved for church and one’s faith, not the government and IRS. This being said as a divorced person who’s had to deal with both sides of the tax issue.
The other reason I’m for this is I already voted on this issue in 2000 with Prop 22 but judges overturned the peoples votes once again. To me, prop 8 is not about denying anyone rights but about the meaning of the word marriage.
If it doesn’t pass it means there will be lawsuits against churches to force them to provide their services even if their religion is against it. If people would just realize there are no “rights” lost because California affords domestic partnerships all of the same rights and responsibilities as marriages under state law
