Thread Name: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage
Proposition: homosexuality should have no weight under the law.

Proposition: Legal categories available to people at large--such as civil atatus, marriage, citizenship, insurability, employability, and the like -- should be applied without regard to gender, race, color, religion, creed, or sexual preference.

Proposition: There are no genuine ethical grounds for denying the legal civilian status of marriage to people who wish to elect it on grounds of their gender.

There ya go. The evidence: the codified civil contract embodied in the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights; the survey articles linked to throughout this and the earlier similar thread.

So far, the counter-evidence: personal opinions expressing hatefulness, disgust, self-righteousness, and other shabby, second-rate attitudes of unreason.
