People that believe gay marriage is socially right are just as right/wrong as people that believe it is wrong. America has the oldest living constitution in the world.(and yes that is right we have the oldest c0nstition in the entire world.) Because we are allowed to adapt to our culture as our culture is allowed to adapt to us. I personally do not believe in the sanctaty of gay marriage, but i also do not believe in the sanctaty of more than half of the heterosexual marriages around. Since when is it following any religious standards to get married 2,3, or 4 times, it is no more right to get divorced, than it is for gay marriage. Yet divorce seems to be a VERY acceptable social standard. Just have faith in humanity. Stand up for yours. And why do we need to bring up the war in Iraq. That has nothing to do with this topic. Please stay to the topic. You won't wound so ignorant next time.

Jeff Kent is a man. I take my hat off to him for standing up for his beliefs despite taking so much heat from the likes of many people on this blog.
I hope more people who share his belief on the sanctity of marriage stand up against the voices of those who are seek to intimidate and cram their views down others' throats.
The No on 8 campaign tried to capitalize on the ignorance of the general population regarding marriage and tried to convince people that to vote Yes on 8 was to make you intolerant and hateful. In my view, this could not be further from the truth. Marriage between man and woman has been the foundation of society since the beginning. Consider where you would be without it.

People who believe gay marriage wouldn't eventually affect them are fooling themselves. Way to go Jeff Kent! It's about time a great athlete took a stand for something!

First, let me say I'm all for letting anyone do anything he/she wants, as long as it doesn't affect me personally. I would probably vote no on California's Proposition 8. However, let's be objective: if you are for allowing any sort of "non-traditional marriage" (e.g. gay marriage), you must be willing to allow other sorts of non-traditional marriage. Of course this is incredibly ironic, as those who are most in favor of gay marriage would probably be the first to try to prevent the Mormons from reinstituting polygamy.

Speaking as an objective observer, any argument in favor of gay marriage but against polygamy or other sorts of non-traditional marriage is both hollow and hypocritical.

It's a can of worms. The left never leave it at equality. If that was their only agenda it would be one thing. But they have to force their values on you. Not only do you have to leave them alone, but you have to agree that they were right.

In Massachusetts they passed same sex marriage and then immediately put it into the school system. They started teaching kindergarteners that this is an acceptable way of life with pamphlets. When a religious parent complained, they said they HAD to teach the kids this so they wouldn't grow up bigots.

First off, why does a KINDERGARTENER need to know anything about marriage and secondly, if you teach anything remotely related to religion in school you are wrong. Yet they want their "religion" shoved down your throat.

Brad:

"It's because, like me, Jeff Kent is Mormon. Being homosexual is an abomination in the eyes of God, so that's why he's voting against it. For the record, call me whatever you want I'm also against gay marriages."

What I'll call you is what you are: You're a bigot.

Marrying an animal? Wow, you have a turtle capable of informed consent and that can sign a marriage license?

I don't know what the big deal is. Marriage is an overrated institution, anyway. Half of them always end up in divorce.

Actually 16 is old enough to get married (with parental consent) in most states, including California.

Equating the right of two CONSENTING ADULTS to be married with people marrying animals and children is a lame straw man argument. Humans were given reasoning skills and rational thought, lets try to use them.
