Did Prop 8 pass?!

I'm not sure, but I think I heard it on the radio this morning.
California fails. Actually, America fails.
I feel SICK. If even California won't allow gay marriage... well. Please console me. Tell me it isn't true.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. Also apparently those homosexual animals have picked up some unnatural behavior.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were
allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.; ▶ Reply to This

I still find it hard to understand why homosexuality causes such a visceral, disgusted response from so many people. For example, a friend of mine from middle school agrees with gay rights (as in, allowing gay marriage and having it be legally and culturally equal to heterosexual marriage) but says he just "doesn't want to know about it." When pressed to explain that statement, he replied that he found homosexuality "repulsive and unnatural" and he would just "rather not know." Why is this? Is it because it's something that has been taboo for so long in our culture? I don't get it.; ▶ Reply to This
