Proposition 8: C'mon seriously...

Alright, so proposition 8 in CA is about "Eliminating the Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry." Voting yes would mean that you do not support same-sex marriage. And voting no would mean you do. I do not want to state my current position in this post, but you may have a slight sense of what it might be.

So there are these kids at school who are strongly against prop 8. They protest in front of our high school because they want to "educate parents and students about equality." They like to use the term "ignorant" describing the people who are for prop 8. First of all, you can't be ignorant on such a controversial topic. Same-sex marriage is a very moral issue, and it depends on your personal views - either you support it or you don't. Many times, it is also a religious issue. It's very wrong to call another person ignorant just because they don't agree with your views.

I appreciate their effort and everything, but their argument is very controversial and immature. I believe they are going all out to fight against prop 8 because 1. they are very childish and crave attention 2. because their friends are doing it or 3. they're flaming homosexuals. (LOL) And even more hilarious, they're not even 18!

Now I know I'm sort of being a hypocrite. I totally respect someone's decision to be against prop 8. But if there reason is because people are "ignorant" and they are demonstrating it very poorly, then I believe it is necessary to point out their incongruity.

Lastly, more about prop 8, I personally don't think prop 8 is going to pass. Why? In the state of CA, same-sex marriage is allowed. If it had already passed, it will be even harder to change the people's mind. But, who cares about what I say right?

So I guess my final statement would be, if your going to defend your views on something, please be able to defend it logically and avoid name-calling to justify your view - it's that simple.
