You Decide: Yes on Ignorance or No on Hate

To all Californians voting Yes or are on the fence about Proposition 8:

Really take a look at the campaign you're voting for because I think if you open your eyes for once, you will see an underhanded advertising campaign filled with lies that perpetuate further hatred and ignorance. Maybe taking the low road is the only way they feel they can win, the only way they ever knew how to win. Your children are watching and who do you think looks better right now?

If and when you have children, ask yourself if you would love them any less if they are gay. For all of you who have answered yes, I pity your children for having been born into your family. Homosexuality is not a choice; the only choice a homosexual person makes is whether to accept it within him/herself or choose to remain closeted because of the fear of rejection from friends and family. The hate and discrimination you so easily divulge at your dinner table is the same hate your children will feel you have for them. You are the reason the homosexuality statistic is lower than it currently is because they are too afraid to acknowledge it. You are the reason your children cannot completely be themselves in school or throughout their lives. You are the reason for the death of your children whether through suicide or through hate crimes. You are the reason that your children could come to hate themselves.

Think about the future in which they will live in. If you really cared about the welfare of your family and "protecting California children," why would you want them to live in a world filled with more hate than acceptance?
