Proposition 8

I just don't understand. There are so many issues that I have with the banning of gay marriage that its almost hard to know where to start. Ultimately what I don't understand is why anyone thinks they have the right to tell me or anyone else what to do with or how to live their life. Now I'm not gay, but I really don't think that matters. I mean its not like we are talking about breaking the law and shit. Who I marry does not affect anyone but me, and my family, but maybe not even them really. I understand that people have beliefs etc. but its not like anyone is telling they can't marry someone of the opposite sex. I just don't get what the problem is. What they hell are people so damn afraid of. I just want someone to give me one logical reason to ban it that is not religious. I say non religious because we are suppose to have a separation between church and state here.
I really can not think of one good reason that this should even be that big of a deal. I understand that most people who are against it are against it for religious reasons, and its good that people have beliefs and all, but who are you to tell me what I should believe. You don't tell others who beliefs are different that they can't marry. Its really just infuriating to me. Please someone just tell me who it hurts.
If someone lives in this country, pays taxes etc why should it matter who they choose to be with. Why does it matter if you disagree with someones life style? Do you think gay marriage is going to rub off on you, or anyone else. It really doesn't matter whether you think gay people should or should not marry. I mean should we really just start taking away peoples rights because we disagree with them. I mean shit you try to take some guns off the street, and half the country is all up in arms, and rightfully so. If your a good law abiding citizen it doesn't hurt me if you have a gun. Though your gun has far more potential to affect my life, then the potential that who I marry will affect your life. ugh On this subject I just feel like Americans need to get their heads out of their asses and think about what things like this actually mean. Maybe think about how you would like it if you weren't allowed certain rights because of who you are. Seriously its not like we haven't been down a similar road before. Why do we keep having to believe that different types of people are lesser types of people.
