Prop 8

I am only 16 and not able to vote, but like most people in my generation, I'm still keeping up with the issues of the upcoming election. I consider myself a conservative even though there are some liberal issues that I agree with strongly. The issues that I tend to have liberal views on have mostly to do with 'choice'. I have a really big problem with people who think that they have the right to tell another human being how to live his or her life. I have absolutely no problem with same sex marriage. If two people of the same sex can adopt a child together, can buy a home together, and can do everything else a man and woman can do together; why shouldn't they be able to be married? The way people choose to live their lives is a personal decision; even if the chosen way isn't the 'norm' in society. I would never judge somebody because they had different religious views or if they were a different race, so what right do I have to judge somebody of a different sexuality? As for arguing that schools will teach criteria discussing 'same-sex marriage'...when in your entire education did you EVER learn about marriage between any two people; including between a man and a woman? Besides, how can knowing about same sex marriage harm a child? Believe me, every kid will be exposed to homosexuality at some point in their lives, especially in school. Learning about homosexuality will not affect the way a child views his or her own sexuality, and even if it does; I would HOPE that every parent would support their child's views-even if it differs from their own.
VOTE NO ON PROP 8.
