Flush 2! Why you should vote no, by me :)

It's election day...the first opportunity that I, as an adult and as an American citizen, will be able to voice my opinion in a matter I strongly feel for. Proposition 2: making it illegal for same sex couples to get married. I used to be VERY conservative about this issue but now, I have grown up and taken off the frikin veil of ignorance that many people still have shielding their eyes from reality today! So now, I am going to rant and bitch about why (if you are 18) you should vote NO, against Propostion 2!! I don't know how many reasons I will end up having but here I go....First of all the author of the bill Warren Chisum states towards homosexuals AND I QUOTE, "My God is more powerful than their God, whoever that might be..." He says he has been Christian since age 12 and marriage should be between a man and a women because that is God's will and his intention. Okay I am going to stop myself there and argue against this. (Man, I miss debate:(....) First of all, I too have been Christian, for my entire life and have learned that times are changing. I think it is God's will for people to be who they want to be and be happy with the life he gave them. He is my savior, my creator, my father, He is the way, the truth, and the life!! He is not a hater of those who are gay, or black, or Jewish, etc..... He made them all. So yeah.... Secondly, last I remembered this country is no longer run upon the word of God....you are free to believe what you want, and free to be who you want to be, of course, unless you are gay. Have we lost the idea of what is meant by liberty?!! Jews, Japanese, African Americans, etc. have been oppressed because of who they are/were. It was seen as normal for the behaviors exhibited by some towards these groups. It was okay to beat your slave or to kill a Jew, and it was no big deal to deprive them of their rights. Now we look back and think to ourselves, 'Man, I can't believe Americans (YES AMERICANS) put people through that crap.' I guarantee you, once this state starts leaning a little to the left then we will think the same thing about denying gays the right to all the benefits of married couples. The main argument I am hearing is that it is morally wrong first because gays can't reproduce or raise children, second because of the whole man and woman thing in the Christian church. I know that there are gays, as there are heterosexual couples, who can raise children to be successful. Just because you have two parents who are of the same sex does not mean that your chances of a good life will be drastically diminshed, because I know of many heterosexual couples whose kids would be better off raised by their dog Biscuit. No gays can't reproduce but a lot of heterosexual couples can't either, so they shouldn't be married as well right???!!! Hmmm, something to think about. And also I am very much so Christian but I am also American and I cannot stand firm to believe that we should take away the rights of those AMERICANS whose ancestors also fought in the wars for the beliefs that our country was founded upon and for the freedoms that YOU have, lucky you who isn't a ethnic minority, or GAY. Voting yes will only allow for more oppression of minority groups in the future. Voting yes does not make it legal for same sex marriages to take place, it only allows it to become legal one day. So all I am saying to you is: Don't be ignorant AMERICAN!

Oh and Harry Potter comes out in 11 days!! Whoop!
