Why Was Proposition 8 Such An Issue

I did not know what to write about today. I just sat here in front of my computer, must have subconsciously opened the Word program and glanced every once in a while at the page before me.

But I did think about one pertinent item. Like why Proposition 8 was such an issue. Most gays/lesbians do not hurt or bother anyone.

In fact, most of them are quite pleasant, have good jobs, make great contributions to charitable causes and deserve to be here just as much as any straight person does.

And I can imagine what you must be wondering at this point. Do they deserve to have the legal right to marry their mate just like a straight person does.

From what I have observed, most gay/lesbian relationships have staying power. Sure, they may have concerns like: jealousy, envy, possessiveness and other romantic relationship problems most straight people have.

So why not also let them have the legal right to want to be together. Some of them have been in the same relationship with the same partner for ten years or more. The only thing missing? That document that makes their union one that´s legally binding.

And maybe being legally wedded to one´s gay/lesbian partner might not happen in our lifetime, but if and when it does in another, I hope someday, someone can look back at all of this and observe how far we have come from the day when someone wanted to hurt, maim, banish you from this world or not want you to be legally married to your mate, just because you were gay.
