Makes sense Dearborn, MI	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jun 5, 2012 Judged: 1 1 Which presidential candidate opposes gay marriage?
Eleanor Round Lake, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jun 5, 2012 Judged: 1 An majority vote to approve/disapprove whether a minority group (gays are less than 3%) is entitled to equal rights will, not surprisingly, choose to EXCLUDE the minority. All citizens are entitled to equal opportunity and that freedom is guarenteed by the Constitution. It will be interesting which way this will go.
harvey Reynoldsburg, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jun 5, 2012 Judged: 3 1 1 Dump the damn case once and for all and let the valid court decision stand. Prop 8 is, was, and always will be UNCONSTITUTIONAL, a violation of the right of gay Americans to marry. Flush it!

Wrong. It's perfectly American and perfectly constitutional and has been done for centuries.
