At first gays wanted to be left alone behind closed doors to do as they pleased (two consenting adults). It progressed to public recognition (parades, special days, etc). They were still not happy. Next came domestic partnerships all the while saying they did not want marriage, we could keep that. They just wanted to enterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945339189639849796.post-42742426513353715472008-11-18T04:09:00.000-06:002008-11-18T04:09:00.000-06:00Kevin, just a minor correction.

Prop 8 was for creating an amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman, not a prop to define marriage as between two of the same sex. Voting for Prop 8 meant you were for the traditional definition of marriage.First Amendmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349748482329353154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945339189639849796.post-51307975920887233622008-11-12T16:39:00.000-06:002008-11-12T16:39:00.000-06:00Kevin, Again you hit it right on the head.

I was happy to see your comments about supporting civil unions, but not condoning the lifestyle. I run into a lot of resistance having this view.<BR/><BR/>The radical element of the gay movement(like radical movements of most kinds)always get the most press.

Who made up that 52% in liberal California?
