Video: No on Prop. 8
October 5, 2008
One of my readers passed along his latest video in opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment that would overturn marriage rights for same-sex couples in California. California is one of only two states in the U.S. where same-sex couples can legally wed.

What about the children in California?
Is Proposition 8 child abuse?
Do children’s mental and emotional well-being matter?
In California, imagine how SAFE the young children of gay or lesbian parents are feeling during this PROPOSITION 8 INSANITY.
Would children feel SAFE if they knew other families were voting, for God’s sake, VOTING on whether their parents deserved the right to be married and treated fairly in society?
How SAFE would a boy feel knowing some parents and teachers do not believe his own family is the same as their families?
How SAFE would a girl feel knowing some children do not believe her own family deserves “the same” as their families?
Now even young children ECHO this intolerance on the playground, thanks to their parents hateful words and ideas. How sick for the children of the YES ON PROP 8 crowd to feel more deserving than other children and their parents! Many children already know and love their gay uncles, lesbian grandmothers, and other FAMILY MEMBERS who are LGBTI, so we have created a hideous world with PROPOSITION 8 and other amendments like it in the U.S. Children are living in a world where they are witnessing adults spending MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars FOR or AGAINST their FAMILY.
Children deserve to grow up in a world where they BELONG.
Children deserve to grow up feeling SAFE.
How sick of a society that we ALLOW family rights to be VOTED ON?
Straight and gay children are being raised by straight and gay parents, but the government forgot that we are ALL interconnected in our families and in society. So now PROPOSITION 8 has brought children into this culture war, a war based on the assumption that some families deserve more legal rights and protections than other families in times of sickness, death, and divorce [for starters]. SICK.
