Here is a general question: Gay marriage in California has been legal for several months now. Has the world stopped tilting on its axis? Has the apocolypse come? Has God strucken with his mighty wrath? No.
And on a personal level, to any one who is married in a male-female marriage: Has your marriage been affected in any way since gay people have been allowed to marry? Of course not!
Marriage is a very personal thing. And we as a society don't need government (much less religious groups) telling us who we can love. Frankly, it's no one's business except the couple getting married.
Two weeks from Friday, I'm going to marry my partner of 13 years and it will not affect anyone but us. We, as a couple, will be better for it. And California, as a community, will be better for it. But at its very core, marriage is personal and private.
No on Prop 8
