8. Recall the CA supreme court justices for upholding our constitution?
Edited on Thu Nov-13-08 02:48 AM by t0dd
Why is it supporters of proposition 8 can use fear and intimidation to get what they want? I'm feeling optimistic about proposition 8 being overturned, but it deeply bothers me these individuals feel so compelled to do whatever they can to deny a fundamental right to a group of people. Aren't there more important things to worry about in this world? Is it really necessary for you to make threats to achieve your intolerant goals?

There have been similar remarks regarding the legalization of same-sex marriage in Connecticut:

Peter Wolfgang, the executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, a gay-marriage opponent, acknowledged that banning gay weddings in Connecticut will be difficult but vowed not to give up. He condemned the high court's decision as undemocratic.
"Unlike California, we did not have a remedy," Wolfgang said. "It must be overturned with patience, determination and fortitude."

Really? You feel that, despite Connecticut not wanting a constitutional convention and a majority of voters there approving same-sex marriage, you have to dedicate yourself to destroying the happiness of others?

These people are pathetic and cruel, and they know nothing of religion. It should be about spreading love instead of condemnation. Why can't people realize that?
