bunch of stoners...

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. A lot of stones were cast on November 4th condemning those living a homosexual lifestyle to a life on the fringe of society, tolerated but not accepted. Every person who cast a yes vote for Prop 8, especially in the name of God, should take a look at their own life and make sure they are "clean" in the eyes of their god. Isn't abortion a sin? infidelity? breaking marriage vows? lying? stealing? Who the hell are we to judge how other people lead their lives? I thought the Bible told us to leave that to God. Just another example of religious hypocrisy, it seems to me they are always picking and choosing the aspects of their religion that suit them at the moment and setting aside anything that would appear to be contradictory to their actions. The Bible is too long it seems, for anyone to remember ALL of what it says at any given time, so instead we are allowed to pick and choose passages as if they were sound bytes and spit them out at random without any contextualization. It just seems sad that in a state wherethe minorities ARE the majority and they want nothing more than to be accepted and embraced as equal, they would still choose to eliminate equal treatment for another minority group. One African American gentleman in the LA Times said, "they chose to be gay, I didn't choose to be black," as part of his reasoning for supporting discrimination of homosexuality. For a small percentage of the homosexual community, choice may have been a factor in their lifestyle, but for the majority, this is the way they were born and they are trying to accept it and live happy, fulfilling lives (rather than live in the closet like a lot of conservative christian political officials who continue to get caught in homosexual encounters or internet stings).
