well done for making same sex marriages illegal. i know there was a lot of pressure, and i’m glad you didn’t give in. some of you may be shocked to know that i am in total agreement with this stance.

being a straight married woman, i think that allowing gay marriage would effect my life in the following ways. 1) ummmm.....well, i can’t think of any right now that would directly effect me, but i can think of how it would effect straight people who also want to get married.

if gays were allowed to marry it would be that much harder for the straights to find and secure a wedding location with their preferred date. they would only be crowding the already overpriced, over booked world of wedding planning. and because most of the gays are fabulous and have such good taste, all the good florists, photographers, and especially dress makers would be overwhelmed. we straight ones require only one dress per wedding, you’d probably want two. you’d spread the industry too thin. see how selfish the homos are for wanting to get married?

california, i agree that allowing gay marriage would be one step closer to their equality, when we all know they aren’t equal. their decorating sense totally blows us out of the water and makes us look bad.

i want to protect marriage. well, i guess the 50% of unions that don’t end in divorce. such a sacred institution cannot be tarnished. and no, i don’t think marriage is already tarnished with drive through chapels and online divorces.

i also don’t want my unborn children to be taught about gay marriage in school. i’d rather they learn on the play ground, which is where i first learned about sex. ok, maybe not all the facts i was given were correct, but learning in a class room, in a controlled, respectful environment is overrated.

i think gays should go back in the closet and suppress their urges to love the same sex. the rest of us all have skeletons in our closet, not fair that you get to air yours in the open.

good on ya california for sticking it to the bum bandits. protect the institute of marriage and not the civil rights of all citizens; exactly what our founding fathers had in mind.
