California's controversial ban on same-sex marriage voted into effect in 2008, known as Prop 8, could soon land in the Supreme Court as smaller courts have decided the amendment might be unconstitutional. It was passed by a tight margin four years ago, and when we asked SodaHeads what they thought about the proposition's constitutionality we found that it hasn't gotten any less controversial. Political views were obviously an enormous factor, but we decided to zero in on other demographics, instead -- gender, age, location. We hope you find the results as interesting as we did! Let's dive.

pray for understanding of his words-so that you do not misunderstand Gods written words.
In the old testament there is reason for question is some instances..in the new testament...is when Jesus came into the world for the saving of souls..that sinners may repent and obtain his divine forgiveness, in order to attain and dwell in his kingdom.
He came to also clarify laws ---- as in the old testament..before his coming.....some prophets believed they could have many wives.
And Jesus did come and clarify that one...He did not condemn the ignorance...of the old testament...but brought clarification ..to the misunderstood messages of God.
God is a loving and merciful God...He loves all of his children.
Everyone is welcome to pick up their cross and follow him...to ask for forgiveness ...........for any sin...and be strengthen against all evil therefore.
God is love mercy forgiveness- But if man does not stop their wicked ways - His anger will be great against those unrepented sins.
the bible states to pray for understanding of his words.
Church with a good and sincere leader will also provide this.
Hm. Maybe we should put up some sort of camps for "unnatural" people like gays, mentally challenged and left-handed people, people living in celibacy (like priests and monks, for example), gingers etc.
What do you think? Great idea, eh?
What, because you say so? Did you choose to be heterosexual?
"How is it even possible to force someone to like a certain thing?"
Ask the many gays who have been forced to "like" people of the opposite sex by people like YOU who think homosexuality is a choice and EVIL.
Yet heterosexuals have tried to force countless homosexuals to do that so they are "normal", more often than not because otherwise, they'd be killed.
Why would you even WANT to oppose their marriages?
2. I have some psychological evidence, many gays were abused in some way in their early lives and it lead to their homosexuality, as with obsessive compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia.
3. I am not a religious nut job I rarely go to church but I do however know what is appropriate behavior.
4. Why do gays need marriage for a union with exclusion of all others if they love each other, I don't cheat on my girlfriend.
5. To single us out is stupid, and even if I was atheist I would oppose it, all my atheist friends do.
6. Point 6 was aimed at FRED because he brought up abortion, so don't worry about it.
7. Ever meet someone who is constantly flirting and dirty talking women, it is immature because there is more to life than just sex. Tell me if you had to choose between a life without sex, or a life without music, art, or literature in any form, which would you choose?
8. You'd be surprised how much, and gays can be gay all they want and I won't disrespect them but a marriage is a religious union as I've shown in Point 4, civil marriage has more to do with children, tax, and support money. Point 8 was to point out that it is not because I'm a christian that I oppose this, and to try to set religion aside of this political debate.
Second, who are you to judge what is or isn't natural? What standard are you following?
2. what genders were your parents, mine, and every person who has ever lived? would it be natural if a man were to get pregnant? the answers to both of these questions can be found just about anywhere.
3. Natures standard.
1. was a joke
2. ???, men don't have wombs.
3. well other than plants it is male and female giving birth.
2) I never said they did.
3) Yes, men and women make children. I believe this is established. How is this an argument against gay marriage and gay parenting?
People, presumably yourself included based upon what you said, apparently think that a couple exists for the sole purpose of baby-making and that only baby-making couples a) can get married to meet that end and b) parent children and c) be quote on quote natural.
Who is to say that a) gay people can't get married for strictly love and spiritual reasons without planning on personally giving birth b) parent adopted or surrogate children or c) not conform to the standard, but instead be personally diverse of the majority on their own terms.
Why people are reluctant to allow these two different types of marriage, one for male-female, which involves baby-making and love, and male-male/female-female which involves parenting and love, to coexist is completely beyond my understanding.
We wouldn't have to waste time on this issue if everyone opposing gay marriage just stopped giving a damn and let it go through so everyone can get on with their lives and onto more important things.
