Will there be a push for another vote? <br /><br />I believe there comes a time when the opinion of the majority must be taken for what it is. One doesn't have to agree to it. That is our process, and it has served us well for many years. <br /><br />Again, thanks for writing. It is good to have a friendly discussion, even if we agree to disagree.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163421362475667551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855858170324181302.post-64539768298948934422009-06-02T15:19:08.385-07:002009-06-02T15:19:08.385-07:00You are welcome:).

Marriage as we know it should be a male/female thing, while civil unions should be used for whatever reason they are needed for.<br /><br />And why is there another vote taking place in California? It was voted down there, and that should be enough. We speak through our votes, and we said what we had to say as a nation when we voted in Obama. Californians have voted against this proposal--how many times are they going to be required to cast a vote on this subject?<br /><br />And yes, I never said gays can't provide love and raise a child well. I just believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. That is just my personal belief, and you and anyone else have a perfect right to feel differently on this subject.

You assert that...I strongly disagree with you here. You assert that the primary reason for marriage is to have and raise children in a loving two parent environment. There would then be no reason for marriage if the woman contemplating marriage is beyond childbearing years. Gay couples can adopt and also provide a stable two parent environment for raising children.<br /><br />Although California voted down gay marriage, the national trend has been its legalization. I'd bet the next time this issue comes up on the California ballot gay marriage will be legalized.bobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841867760313797450noreply@blogger.com
