Proposition 8 thoughts

I have been reading on various forums and newspapers peoples thoughts about Proposition 8 and the LDS churches involvement in it. People have been getting really upset about a couple of things. First of all that they lost, and second that the church had a large involvement in it.

My thoughts on this are pretty simple. Even if 100% of all LDS members voted for the proposition it would not have been enough to pass it. It needed support from many people, in fact from a majority of the state. The fact that it passed means one thing. Those that did not want it to are a minority and therefore they are the losers. They Lost! They don't get it their way! The other people don't like their view! NO!

This world today does not allow for losers, and they can be winners. Well in the real world that is not how things work. You are not all winners, some of you are losers. I woke up Wednesday a loser, as I supported John McCain. I'm a LOSER!!!! So I like that I lost? Nope, not one bit, but I did and no amount of whining is goign to change it. So the people that are "vote no to 8" voters you lost, and I am sorry, but please stop the attacking, and if you have a problem with it then maybe you should realize that a majority of people don't like your view, and that you need to do something about it. I can assure you that attacking people is not the way to get there, and it will only hurt your cause.

People have gone as far as to now want to remove the tax exempt status of the Church as a result of it. (there is a website with a petition, but I am not going to post it as I disagree with it) Some people are even saying that they are going to boycott church business. People say that the church is not a loving organization, and that it is hateful and not accepting of gays. one person on a newspaper comment section said that what right is it of the churches to not allow two people who love each to get married? I think these people forgot who we say runs our church. God.

Last I checked God was pretty much not OK with Gay and lesbian activity. Last I saw in the Bible he condemns them lays down the law concerning it. We do this, because God said so. I have many Gay friends, and I have no problem with them, I count them as friends and I have no problem with them being around me at all. I don't agree with marriage no longer being defined as between a man and a woman, but as far as some other civil right go I am fine with it. Just not marriage. I support my Gay friends in their choices, but I still disagree with it.

If the people that wanted Gay marriage were a majority than it would have passed. This is a country where the majority rules what happens. Everyone does not get what they want just because they want it. If people want it changed again, then they need to raise support and become the majority to win.
