i *wish* someone would call me asking me to vote yes on 8, i'd fully enjoy telling them off!

Here's a solution to the problem: call it something else!

Many people have a problem with homosexuals being 'married'.

Let them be together if they wish and call their union something else.

i think it goes deeper in that people have a problem with homosexuals....period.

i just don't get how it would matter to anybody....it's not like taxes would go up or your own personal rights would be infringed. if it means something to a couple to call it 'marriage'...then let them call it that. it's a basic human right.

It may not shut everyone up but I do know people who would just like see it called something other than marriage.

Well, why don't straight people call it something other than marriage? They're the ones that made it a joke in the first place.

to call it something other than marriage is to keep in the thinking that they aren't the same as everybody else. people should be treated equally, so equal wording i figure

ok, to me........definition of gay means = happy

so happy and free and light and airy and unconventional and evolved.........

so why the hell spoil it with the ancient myth of marriage?

And it felt great!!

I noticed the phone said "private caller" so I thought it was my dad or brother (I never answer if it says "unknown). It was this guy saying "Hi, I'm Mark, and I'm with the Yes on proposition 8 campaign."

For those outside Cali, Yes on 8 takes away the right for same sex marriage. I'm sorry but no matter how you feel about gay people, this is an issue of equal rights.

Anyway, as soon as Mark introduced himself, I really told him off! This is an issue I really feel passionately about. Then I hung up. My only regret is that I don't have the kind of phone that you can slam down--clicking the "off" button just isn't the same as slamming down the phone.

Now I doubt Mark cared, but I'm a pretty mild mannered person and I rarely yell, but it just felt SO GOOD to give him a piece of my mind.

Just thought I'd share.

I cant picture you yelling at anyone!!!! Ure sweet little chocolate covered jenny!!!! :eek:
it felt GREAT to vote last night.
