The major issue in prop 8 was that it required marriage to be taught in elementary school. Kids will learn about being gay growing up and will have that choice but shouldn’t be swayed at such an early age. Also, No on 8 goes against many people’s moral and religious beliefs. Good call california, Yes on 8!

You’re such an idiot it’s staggering. Prior to Prop 8 they did not teach marriage, or gay marriage, in California’s elementary schools. Prop 8 doesn’t even restrict schools from teaching about gay marriage, as you can see for yourself in the “official language” of the bill here: http://www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov/title-sum/prop8-title-sum.htm

Way to stomp on human rights.

Reidculous comments. Bad Article.

Actually, if you read http://www.voterguide.sos.ca.gov/text-proposed-laws/text-of-proposed-laws.pdf#prop8
You will see that the law did not mention anything about public schools. Besides that, what is wrong with teaching equality for everyone?

You are all wrong. Only I am right. Anything else is morally bad. Only man/cow marriage should be allowed.

Everyone should worry about themselves. PERIOD.

Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. What is this a socialist country. I live in America because I got choices and freedom. Let whoever marry whomever or whatever. People who are too consumed by this are ridiculous, why don’t we focus on our economy or religion. Religion should not let our government decide on what is moral. Stupid idiots running our senate and house seats are stupid church going idiots that can’t tell the difference between their ass and mouth.

By the way elementary schools should teach about gay rights. Why? because sooner or later they will learn about gays one way or the other. Just like they will learn about rape, murder, drug, sex, arson, and the list goes on and on. Idiots!

Discrimination is never ok. Shame on you, California.

What rights? With a domestic partnership they can get everything they want, they just can’t say they’re “married”, which shouldn’t be allowed. Oh and I think it’s funny that Young Money is so thrilled Nobama is president. What an idiot, I wonder how long it takes for the US to not be the world’s powerhouse.

MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK……….. YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you’re a racist and a homophobe? Let gay’s marry each other, the article is right the world didn’t stop, no one died. California needs to vote again, and the law should be passed in all states, even those redneck southern states.
As for ‘Nobama’, we took a HUGE step forward electing that man. We would put ourselves back in the 1900’s if we elected the decrepit old man, and the wasilla winker.

Compared to more serious issues of the day, Prop 8 seems insignificant. Let’s focus on implementing alternative energy or something rather than monitoring people’s lifestyles.

God hates sin, but not the sinner. The more people that turn to Jesus, the Better.

Regardless of what one believes morally or not we live in a democratic society… it has come on the ballet and twice the citizens of CA voted against gay marriage. Domestice partnership does provide equal legal protections as marriage. I am more concerned with judges telling citizens what to do and a mayor saying like it or not. If you are a Bush supporter or not he was the president, now the same with Obama he is the new president, support him. Quit crying of your losses and move on. The beauty of our counrty and democratic process is that we can have differences and move on. Judges and mayors should not overide the votes of millions of tax paying citizens…. that goes against our whole democratic process. If prop 8 votes would have passed then those oppossing should let it go, however I feel the same for those anti-prop 8 passing. It was on the ballet it was turned down. All the deomonstrations are now costing tax paryers millions of dollars to pay police overtime so that you can yell about losing a democratic vote. Re-group for next time, please do not make me late for work because the street is shut down for your parade or tie up the cities police officers and threaten religious institutions…. that is when you lose any potential support from any of us sitting on the fence on this issue.

Much agreed my friend. Shame on California.

What a stupid article to run on a college student finance site. I look for something insightful about what Obama’s election might mean for young students looking to do better financially, and all it is is a bunch of rhetorical questions and some politically charged rant about gay marriage. Why don’t you write about what your site says you will rather than push your own personal agendas?

Shame on you youngmoney.com
