YES on Prop 8!!!!!

YES on prop 8!!!!
In the past few weeks we have been involved with California's battle to restore traditional marriage to our Constitution. We have a "Vote YES on Prop 8" bumper sticker on our cars, we have a "Vote YES on Prop 8" sign in our front yard, and both Rocky and I stood on a busy corner during rush hour traffic and held "Vote yes on Prop 8" signs. I have been called a bigot, a Hitler Nazi, a f-ing@#$#$%#, I've been flipped more birds than I can count, I've been almost run off the road, I've had my sign stolen from my front yard...and the "no on prop 8" people's main focus is on tolerance. Seems like they don't have much tolerance for any other opinion than their own.

If prop 8 doesn't pass, the schools will teach about homosexuality starting in Kindergarden. It's already happening, just last week an elementary school in Hayward California had a "gay comming-out day". Parent's were not notified beforehand. A first grade class was taken on a field trip to the court house to witness their lesbien teacher's wedding. The California Teacher's Union donated 1 million dollars towards the "no on 8" campaign. THere is already in one school a "gay and lesbien awareness" month. Since when is it the school's responsibility to teach small children about having gay sex...or ANY sex?!

My rights will be taken away, our bishops and temple sealers could loose authority to marry people if they aren't willing to marry a gay couple. Our churches could loose their tax-free status if we aren't willing to let gay couples marry in our churches. My tithing will no longer be tax-deductable. It very well could drive people who oppose gay marriage out of the state.

Anyone who loves someone else...or thing...will be able to marry. Groups could marry, or you could marry your pet, or sister/brother/dad/mom..it desecrates the sanctity of what marriage is...what, throughout the history of the world, in every culture, has ALWAYS been, between a man and a woman.

They want equal rights under the law...they already have that in the domestic partnership laws that are on the books. Any time it specifies "marriage" in the law it also includes "domestic partnerships". If they don't think that is special enough...they can come up with their own name. They can purchase a license, have a ceremony, exchange rings, and in front of their loved ones proclaim their undying love...JUST DON'T CALL IT MARRIAGE!! Defining it that way will take away MY rights.

As you can see, I feel VERY strongly about this issue. I have a gay brother and one of my best friends is gay. I am not a bigot. I love them both and want for them to be happy. I will also never accept that it is morally correct. I am entitled to my beliefs just as they are entitled to theirs.

1. I really enjoy Carlsbad's "characters". They're probably mentally unstable and homeless, but I can't help myself.
a.) Chicken man...he walks around the bario with a grocery cart...with mismatched cowboy boots and a cowboy hat...stooped over...with a rooster in the cart...I've seen him at Halloween time dressed as a witch...and as santa at Christmas time...still with that dang chicken...

b.)the old lady...with long red hair (wig)..who rollerskates down Highland in flesh colored spandex. Makes you do a double-take...bless her heart!

c.)Bamboo man who lives in the bamboo down at the beach. He's probably in his 40's...wears dreadlocks...pretty sketchy looking. Hope mom's not reading this...one time in High School Christy and Kathy threw a party...everyone was there including Bamboo man...must have been some party!!!

d.)...last one...the unibomber...he sits downtown with an overcoat and a hood...even in the heat of the summer...with sunglasses...and a sleeping bag...he walks around talking to himself..making hand gestures like he's planning something.

2. I'm in a rock band. No...not a group of ladies who sit around playing Rock Band...I'm a singer in a rock band. I'm having SO much fun!

3. I'm meticulous about cleaning my ears...weird.

4. Sleeping alone is difficult for me. When Rocky's out of town I get Camille to sleep with me.

5. I never lock my doors...only at night. I inherited that from my parents. They would leave town on a two week vacation and leave the house unlocked...they didn't even own a key to their house. I'm not quite that bad...but close.

6. I love the smell of puppy breath...don't know why.

And now I tag...Christy, Jaylene, Danielle, Megan, Julie, and Susan!

I don't think I ever thanked Heidi enough for this amazingly sweet gesture...all of her boys shaved their heads in support of Michelle. She was honored and kept this picture of them in her hospital room. THANK YOU LEE FAMILY!!!!
