On Thanks Giving Day I was called a poisonous toad because on election day I decided to be pro prop eight and we went door to door to encourage people to vote on the issue. Is it wrong tell people to vote let me know why he would call someone a poisonous toad?
It means he’s terrible at generating insults.
I for one am against proposition 8 simply because "marriage" never began as a Christian institution. Secondly, the idea that a civil union could be used instead is absurd. Civil unions do not award the same benefits as a marriage.
In a civil union, if one partner dies, the other does not have the same rights to their partner’s estate. If one partner dies, insurance companies do not recognize a civil union in the same way as a marriage and the house will not be paid off, nor many other insurance benefits allotted to a husband or a wife. They do not receive the same tax breaks despite the fact that two people in a loving relationship, no matter what the sex, do support one another and keep each other off the social assistance program.
Christians did not invent "marriage" as a word, nor as a concept and "civil union" just won’t cut it when protecting spousal rights.
