Some homosexuals are working hard to overturn Prop 8 in 2010 — instead of waiting for 2012, when Sarah Palin will be president and/or the world will come to a fiery end.
Marriage equality advocates from across the state hoping to repeal Proposition 8 in 2010 met last weekend in San Francisco to adopt a structure for a statewide signature gathering campaign and elect an interim leadership team to develop a political action committee.

John Marcotte is a firm believer in traditional family values. He currently opposes government-funded death panels, Obama talking to children and MSNBC's entire prime-time line-up. 
Sad, sad, sad. Do that many forget that none are without sin and Jesus came to heal, not divide. He went to the “unclean” of his time and loved them. How have so many lost sight of this??? Why this focus on judging and condeming? What happened to “judge not lest you be judged”?
Thank you! Someone with a shred of humanity left in them! I’m Agnostic now, formerly Catholic, and I’m personally fine with Gay Marriage / Unions. If there was anything I got from my Catholic school upbringing, it’s that you should live and let live!
Chris asked, “What happened to “judge not lest you be judged”?”
That would be a great thing to ask modern Christians who cherry-pick the Bible as it suits their needs. Divorce is the #1 enemy of the moral fabric of our society!
Wow, I thought it was the paranoid delusions, rage and anxiety of latent homosexuals.
Obviously you are one of those unlicensed “thinker” people. You should all move to San Francisco or Seattle and, well, just move there!
I really hope this site is a joke. I mean honestly, this has got to be the worst idea in the history of history. Perhaps second only to…well…yeah, I can’t think of anything. Best of luck getting this passed.
Oh, BTW, JustWally I’m a heterosexual Christian who moved to SF, and lemme tell ya…any “percieved evil” you losers think is going here is a lot better than the “confirmed stupidity” you have going on wherever you find Right-wing Christians.
Whoa sir! I’m a heterosexual Christian who has visited SF and how can you say that SF isn’t EVIL? I watched a rerun of the Real World SF on Mtv and they had a homosexual that was HIV positive that had a street named after him! I refused to travel on that street but that doesn’t confirm my stupidity, as you put it. Instead I headed to the Castro for drinks. Nice place, that Castro!
You have assumed too much and then pontificated upon that assumption. I forgive you.
Sarah Palin should not be President. She’ll be too busy being the Messiah to be the President. I would vote for Rush Limbaugh. Anyone except that Kenyan who’s giving illegal immigrants free health care and free Japanese cars on the taxpayer’s dime.
I will gladly support the collection of signatures to ban all divorce by homosexuals. First they wanted to get married, and now they want to sully the institution of divorce, too?
Rush Limbaugh? That would be the day! LOL. That moron is better off on his clown for a show. If we are going to ban gay marriage you better ban FORNICATION, & ADULTRY. Sounds to me the right wingers want to change this country into a theocracy. Typical RIGHT WINGERS lol. BIMBOS
That’s right, Alex. I’d even go so far as to say that what we need is a constituional ban on lust in the heart. Because, face it, that’s truly the origin of all evil. Once lust is banned, we’ll see no more rape, no more fornication, no more adultery. Yes, the ban on lust will be the perfect compliment to the ban on divorce. Think about it. It makes so much sense. I’m going to write to my senator today! Please write to yours.
Don’t get me started on Kenyans! They run so fast. How the eff are we supposed to catch them in order to deport them? I think maybe Sarah Palin dressed as a clown would be a good running mate for Rush Limblaugh’s.
John Marcotte isn’t a theocracy. You seem to think that it is yet it is, but it is not…Keep dreaming that bimbo Sarah Palin becomes president in 2012.
Typical right wingers!
You would think that discrimination and bigotry has declined during the 21st century. You close-minded, uneducated biggots prove that it has not.
I agree. The bigotry displayed towards heterosexuals, Christians, and conservatives by the liberal media gotcha elite has gotten so much worse. It’s safe to say heterosexual Christians in the U.S. are a tiny, beleaguered minority facing the same sort of violent reprisals as your average Tutsi in war-ravaged Rwanda.
It’s time we reclaimed the U.S. as a Christ-centered theocracy that stays true to the medieval code of ethics that served the people of the Dark Ages so well.
My good man, surely you can’t be serious? Why, without organizations such as these, how will we know who to hate?
Joe the Plumber how about you get a plumber how about you get a license and follow the law? lol
Banning gay marriage does nothing to protect marriage. It only prevents a loving couple from having the same shot at happiness that heterosexuals take for granted.
When Prop 8 came out, was against it, and even made a bumper sticker that read, “PROTECT MARRIAGE: BAN DIVORCE!” because banning divorce is the only true way to protect marriage.
The hypocrites that pushed Prop 8 for religious reasons need to be slapped with this to teach them what protecting marriage really means.
This Proposition has my full support.
Look its one thing to say that you believe marriage is between a man and a woman. Its quite another to say with any confidence that you know that Jesus will love someone more or less because of decisions that they make.
Its self-righteous, and ignorant to think that Jesus would do anything but love all of his children fully.
Even if they are gay….thats right, Jesus loves gay people as well…What he would hate in my opinion, is self-righteous do gooders with narrow minds that throw humanism out the window in order persecute which they don’t understand and are afraid of and then say they are doing it in the name of christ.
This site is a joke and so are the people who support it.
Please visit My facebook page and friend me for further discussion in this topic.
I’m sorry but you’re wrong, and if you had taken the time to listen to the Gospel as heard by Sarah Palin, you’d know that.
It is clearly written in the Bible that we are to honor our parents, not worship idols, and stone homosexuals and obese wives. Our God is an angry and fearsome God, who doesn’t hesitate for a second to smite those of us who disobey. And divorce by gays and women is most certainly condemned by God and his son, Baby Jesus.
You tell’m Joe! some free advise? Don’t go anywheres near that Facebook – unless you’re looking for some tree-hugging, left-’leaning’, potty-mouthed ‘toe tappers’ – if you know what I mean – - -
@Jay – Your posting seems like a pathetic attempt to increase your # of friends on Facebook.

OK, now this is pissing me off. I’m trying to reply to Jay and it keeps posting under Joe the Plumber!!
God Bless you for moving this forward. The threat of the gays on us Christians causes me to lose sleep every night. I sweat, quake, and throb at the thought of grown males getting married. It is an abomination that it is legal for them to kiss and touch each other tenderly, to look longingly into each others eyes and consumating their love. I mean, golly! When to men tear each others clothes of in the heat of passion, they are not just tearing their clothes, they are tearing at the fabric of society.
“Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It’s no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history.” –Pat Robertson
Whoops in the thows of passion I made some typos.
Yep, I have that too, the sweating and panting i mean. Although i must say i’m not sure as to whether i should like it or not. would that be a sin?
You are walking in the sandals of jesus. How can we enter the kingdom of heaven without a partner of the opposite sex, permanently shackled to our side, and lovely babies of our own. It would be like going into the best restaurant in town and saying ‘table for one lonely pervert, please, and, by the way, I’ve got no money’. When I see them gays flapping and hissing in the streets like vipers, I know the nails are being driven into our saviour’s hands all over again. By now he must look like a porcupine. I know these homo’s are being murdered and abused all around the world….but, I, like many, prefer to believe in the past. The present is so ugly.
I completely agree. What was so wrong with the Dark Ages? Crusades, torture, superstition, witch-burning and Christ-centered everything. What’s not to love?
Joe your plumbing is working well. The gush of jesus love, I can see, flows through your pipes. Let’s anoint the heathens with the fountain of godly truth, with the aid of your water works. And keep mummy and daddy together, no matter what. Lets bring them kicking and screaming back into bronze age Palestine…and the word of the bible. Maybe handcuffs should be used in the beautiful god given ceremony of heterosexual marriage. The priest could say ‘and do you handcuff this woman to be your lawful wedded wife’. Handcuffs after all were given to us by god.
I’m pretty sure the Law says “No Backsies.”
Why so? You make the bible sound so profane! Please consider that true believers read and post here too.
All you fornicators and homos! Beware — The lizards of satan will rise from the tanks of our pickups and devour all of y’all unless you accept the lord Jesus Christ in order to be perfected. This will bring on a new dawn and the world will become a new garden of eden. Thus the righteous should also reject any evolution beliefs which includes taking any vaccinations for flu or swine flu that rely on ideas (misguided I must say) related to quick evolution of virus genetic material. I have also heard that these Intelligent Design denying scientists are planning to insert something in these vaccines that will turn everyone into evolution believing atheists.
The only answer is PRAYER. There may still be time!
Under this initiative, would I be allowed to divorce my spouse if he, she, or it is dead?
Uncle, since you are a man, you would not be allowed to divorce a husband. You could divorce a wife if she had just given up on staying in shape, and you are a conservative Christian.
if you believe in true christian eternal love, and heavenly reward, marriage does not end, ever. so, of course, once you’ve jumped the broomstick, there’s no jumping back. i think people should be allowed to live, if their spouse dies, but in a limited way, no dying your hair, going on a diet, wearing tight clothes and hanging out in bars. to marry again, after a bereavement, is really to spit in the eye of all that is lovely and nice.
The anti divorce “christian” says he doesn’t pick and chose from the bible.. doesn’t eat shellfish etc… what he doesn’t say is that the bible also says you may stone your wife for wearing different fabrics what does his wife wear & if he doesn’t want to divoce her he can stone her & then sell his daughter to slavery & stone his neighbor for planting different plants next to each other…cancel the NFL football league for playing ball w/ pigskin…he doesn’t mention the love stories of jonathan and david or ruth and neomi in the bible because he would lose his arguement…the bible is full of contradictions and cultural beliefs that can’t be understood in todays logic…ie: homosexuality meant something totally different than it does today..But he is right @ Jesus never mentioning anything @ gays or homosexuals..just what so ever you do to the least of my brother that you do unto me…so why does he want to verbally gay-bash Jesus?? God is Love ..you should try to live your life that way and do some REAL GOOD instead of the stale old hate reterect…the only reason a man had a wife in the old testament was for property and propigation of the leviticous tribe…today the world is overpopulated… instead of making gays pay for the right to be gay in this country ( if u can’t marry you lose out on 1200 rigths and priveledges that married people enjoy)Gays should be paid for not procreating in this overpopuilated world that cannot sustain the population as it is…STOP BREEDING and adopt…it’s the christian thing to do…go back to school study sociology, human sexuality… and a course in manners and common decency(Emily Post perhaps)…Stop The Hate… Learn to love …you will feel much better about yourself and others will in turn feel better about you and maybe forgive you for bearing false witness against your neighbor & if you’re gay for Gods sake come out of your closet and live the one life the god gave you… gay is truely a gift if you can accept yourself & be who God made you (& it isn’t always easy when parents teach their kids to hate others who are different from them 3/4 of all teenage suicide are of gay youth as they are constantly terrorized in schools… I encourage any gay student being terrorzied to sue their school distrct if this is happening to you!!)Start preaching the real word of Jesus “i give you a new commandment, love one another as I have loved you” are you doing that??? Take a moment, examine your conscienc….Hating others for who they are has absolutly nothing to do w/ the life of Christ!!!Blessed Be!!!
Fuck you.
Good point Sarah, but a bit random. Is that the plural, singular or honorific ‘you’?
I can’t believe some people’s thinking. Discrimination in the name of Christ? How hypocritical can you be? Jesus forgave a murderer? Why would he not forgive someone who is gay. If there even is a Jesus. You people abide by a mind controlling money making scheme.Our society is supposed to separate church from state! A true society that accepts all beliefs would not try to force the bible and god and christian ways into laws! It’s not fair! I’m an athiest and I have to live by you shitty rules! Religon is the true evil. Wars are based off of it. For what belief? and to Take away someone’s rights? Why would you ever? EVER infringe on someone else’s life!!! This is crazy what if it was flipped. What if heterosexuality was wrong and you didn’t have the right to marry?! Can people no longer walk in other’s shoes? We just got over discrimation of other races(barely) and now you’re all back attacking someone else?! FOR A GOD YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOME FUN FACTS FOR ALL OF YOU:
Homosexual behavior in animals refers to the documented evidence of homosexual, bisexual and transgender behavior in non-human animals. Such behaviors include sex, courtship, affection, pair bonding, and parenting. A 1999 review by researcher Bruce Bagemihl shows that homosexual behavior, has been observed in close to 1500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, and is well documented for 500 of them.[2][3] Animal sexual behavior takes many different forms, even within the same species. The motivations for and implications of these behaviors have yet to be fully understood, since most species have yet to be fully studied.[4] According to Bagemihl, “the animal kingdom [does] it with much greater sexual diversity — including homosexual, bisexual and nonreproductive sex — than the scientific community and society at large have previously been willing to accept.”[5] Current research indicates that various forms of same-sex sexual behavior are found throughout the animal kingdom.[6] A new review made in 2009 of existing research showed that Same-sex behavior is a nearly universal phenomenon in the animal kingdom, common across species.[7]
The natural existence of homosexuality in non-human animals is considered controversial by conservative religious groups who oppose LGBT social movements because these findings seem to point to the natural occurrence of homosexuality in humans.[1] It also counters the ‘peccatum contra naturam’ (‘sin against nature’) – after Thomas Aquinas – established since the Medieval Christianities.[8] Whether this has logical or ethical implications is also a source of debate, with some arguing that it is illogical to use animal behavior to justify what is or is not moral (see appeal to nature).[1][9][10]
Homosexuality is a normal occurence even found in animals!!!!!
YOUR GOD SUCKS AND YOU ARE ALL BRAINWASHED NIMWITS!
God has been the leading cause of death since civilization began, regardless of what he has been called. Millions have been killed and killed in the name of their god(s).
I say throw out all religion and start over, maybe the second time around people will not allow the concept to be clouded by power hungry idiots who claim to have been giving instructions by some “divine being”
Some of my friends are gay, there is nothing wrong with it. Gay actor John Barrowman once said “Why would I want a ‘marriage’ from a belief system that hates me?”
So while I support gay marriage, that is defiantly food for thought.
All those atheists, agnostics, and unbelievers who think they can get away with their unbelief in this life, well, a day of judgment is coming for all of us. “It is appointed for a man, woman, teenager and child to die once, and after this, the judgment”-Hebrews 9:27. The Bible is not just a good book of moral teachings, it is God’s revealed Word to us. “All scripture is given by God’s inspiration”-II Tim 3:16, and “Holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to write scripture”-II Peter 1:20.
Marriage is to be between a man and woman only, and sex reserved only for that institution. “Fornicators and adulterers God will judge”-Hebrews 13:4. Romans 1 condemns homosexual behavour, and Jesus said we must abide by all the moral law of scripture, including the sexual ones, if we are to love and serve Him.
Our nation has drifted to the left, and away from God and His Word. Judgment is coming.
Ooh it sounds so scary when you say it like that!
On another note, this is 2009…how about citing a more credible and peer-reviewed source for our pending damnation? May I suggest Wikipedia?
Dosen’t it?
I have a firm belief that if there is a God, you won’t be “damned” simply because you don’t spend your life in devoted worship. If you live your life to the fullest, and be a good person, fair and just, and live with a high moral standards, that should be enough to prove your are “worthy” of being in heaven.
But if this is not the case, is this really a God worth worshiping anyway? If being a good person is not enough, then what is?
I have better things to do then go to Church every Sunday. I try not to harm anyone, and I live my life with high morals.
wtf does jesus or god have to do w/ someone being homosexual? people dont choose to be, they just are. what about the catholic priests? they are so high and mighty, why do they molest little boys? is it b/c they can be forgiven? whenever i see a priest, i think “pedophile” but when i see someone that is homosexual, i dont see anything wrong w/ it. they physically or mentally harm me or my loved ones or my child…Americas beliefs on sexuality are out of wack…and for the record, i am a straight married women.
This isn’t for real, right?
1 Corinthians 5: “And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband.”
I think we ought to bring back traditional gender roles as well:
“I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” 1 Corintians 12
Elena, you are a God-fearing Christ-loving Palin-adoring Christian, and Christ will bless you with an eternity of Christian happiness in Heaven. Your spot, among only 144,000 is secure.
oh America… when will you catch up with the rest of the world?
just embarrassing yourselves with this insane religious bigotry.
We will not grant same-sex marriage like in Australia, Britain, France and all those other Godless countries. Well, okay, those three countries (and most of the rest) don’t allow same-sex marriage either but you get my point.
“ALL men are created equal.” the constitution says this. it does not say all straight men are created equal. not legalizing gay marriage would technically be un-constitutional because it would be preventing the persons from their pursuit of happiness which the constitution gaurentees
God is a piece of shit, which does not desserve our prayers. Let him go to Hell !

it is my very first time at your web site and i’m inspired can definitely see myself becoming a regular guest, amazing article
