wrong facts.

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:18:16 -0800

the only reason children raised in a same-sex household might possibly not be "happy, well-balanced, and psychologically confident adults" is because of the media and a minority of societies view on same sex relationships. Those children are getting mixed messages about whats "right and wrong." If people were to accept same-sex relationships then then children would be "happy...adults."

Modify prop 8, change same sex marriage to a union

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:01:52 -0700

Let same sex partners join in a union but not marry.

Marriage is for opposite sex partners.

Same sex partners deserve tax breaks, insurance for partner, etc.

Marriage will not provide anything more than a union can for same sex partners.

Let a union between same sex partners be recocnized by the state as a legal and binding contract.

This will resolve all issues about the Marriage conflict being addressed by prop 8.

Preventing same sex couples from marrying will not increase the number of children being raised by biological mothers and fathers. Abusive biological mothers and fathers do not provide the optimum setting to raise children. Children thrive in loving, caring environments and are are more often planned for and better cared for by same sex parents than the biological mishap of some opposite sex parents.

No on Prop 8

I will be voting NO on Prop 8. Support same sex marriage.

Present the proof...

We always hear about this "research" but I've never seen it. Where can we find proof of what you're saying? And please don't direct us to a right-wing website!

Misrepresentation

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:08:19 -0700

What's really sad about this commercial is that it represents only the small minority of children being raised by gay parent(s). In all the research I've seen and done, the facts are pretty incontrovertable that children raised by their biological mother and father are far more likely to be happy, well-balanced, psychologically confident adults than those either raised by a single parent or by same-sex parents. It'd kind of hard to swallow - I vote Democrat on practically everything, but I'm a strong supporter of Yes on Prop 8. The facts are there.

So touching!

My husband and I have a 2 year-old boy. You guys are beacons of hope and leadership in the years ahead. Thanks for the outstanding video!

Your video rocks

Thanks for showing the world that we have children too, children who will be major beneficiaries of their parents' newly recognized right to marry.

My husband and I have been together for nine years. We were finally able to marry on June 17, 2008. Our children, 7 and 3, were in the wedding and were thrilled. There were many tears of joy. Our oldest is pretty pissed that some people want to take that away from our family.

Vote NO on 8.

yay. . . . but wait.

Chiah Presents [powered by Julia and Chiah] has created a video which showcases teenagers with lesbian and gay parents. The kids show their normalcy and highlight their healthy families. The group is using the piece to help strengthen community support to oppose California's Proposition 8.

A recent poll indicates that fifty-five percent of likely voters oppose Prop 8, an increase from 51 percent who opposed it just a few months ago. The percentage of undecided voters has been steady - at 7 percent.
