CA Prop 8

Californians are going to the polls to vote on whether Gay and Lesbian people should still be able to be married in the state of CA.

I know this has been talked about before but I am curious what some of the relatively new posters think about this subject.

It has been a few months now that marraige between same sex people has been legal there and I asked my sister how her marraige has been holding up. She and my BIL, she said, have had no ill effects from the ruling and subsequent marraige of gay people. She said that her hetro friends have not seen any changes in their straight marraiges and that society out in the Bay area hasn't deteriorated nor seems on the verge of it. Neither she nor my other sister have felt the DEVESTATING effects on her family, the sacredness of her union has not yet been ripped apart. She tries to be a good citizen, raise her kids right, pay taxes, does her job every day, just like gay people do. She doesn't get what all the excitement was about.

Neither do I.

Why do I care what people do in the privacy of their own home?
