Cricital post on Prop 8

In edgar's post about Prop 8, he talks about a "California measure" to only allow marriage between a man and a woman. I agree with edgar on the topic of homosexual and bisexual marriages. People should be allowed to follow what their heart wants. The founders escaped and started a new colony because they want religious freedom, and the right that we all should be allowed to have. On that bias, I believe that it is not in the government's right to determine if a man or a woman can or cannot be married. Many opponents of homosexual marriage argue that it is a "sin" or against the bible and God. I do not know much about the bible or about Christian belief but one thing I know is in America we have the right to believe what we want. People are making laws that are based on religion is the one thing the original founders would not want. I also agree that this is a personal right that should be allowed. They are no different than what we are. Before when slavery was first abolished, people believed that colored-skin people were inferior but there were many that proved otherwise. Now America has allowed white,colored,male, or female the rights we all deserve. Now it is time for people who were born attracted to the same-sex. They do not choose who they are attracted to, just as how we do not choose what color we are, or what ethnicity we are. Here is an extended list of the pros and cons of homosexual marriage.
