YIKES........

First off.....Nice try on being unbiased........

Secondly, I somewhat agree with your proposal....

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY>>>>

This issue as of now is not up to the proponents or the opponents of prop 8.
The issue is now in the hands of the courts.

I disagree that the protesters just want to hear their own voices......Ive been to many protests since Nov. 5th where the gathering crowd was nearly silent. Holding candlelight ceremonies, and inviting keynote speakers to encourage the many thousands.

I AGREE>>>>>

There will be no common ground on the issue....both sides are stubborn in their ways......but it comes down to an age-old issue that Thomas Jefferson spelled out in (what I thought was) plain English.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
-Declaration of Independence

I disagree with your proposal, divorce is already financial torture for those who simply just can not work out their differences...
Here is a solution...if religion and the restoration of traditional marriage is so important for these discriminatory people, why not at least give homosexuals the same legal rights as those heterosexuals who wish to get married...
call it what you wish domestic partnership, civil union, but at least give them identical rights across the board as those who are "married".

It is all to pointedly clear that the State Hornet is bioased in their presentation of this issue. In the article and opinion on the Prop 8 protests there is a reference to the "Promiscuous" gay teenagers at the protest. Were these teens having sex at the protests? If so, then shame on them. If not, which is what I tend to believe, how can you ethically refer to them as promiscuous? I have never been proud of this paper due to it's serious lack of editing quality (punctuation, misspelling, and bad grammatical structure to say the least.) But when it stoops to low brow name calling, that is just shameful. I feel sorry for the journalism field and department if this is the best they can put out.

Perhaps the "Editor" should go back to class and learn about journalism or get a job at Fox News, where ethics are not required, instead of supposedly publishing a neutral paper.

"Gays being in a relationship bring nothing to the community why should it reward them again?"

so this goes for infertile married couples to?

or married couples who choose not to have children?

or if someones married partner goes to jail?
