I'm not quite sure how No on Prop 8 went from being the majority to being in the minority so quickly. The two major arguments being used on the Yes side are (1) Churches could lose their tax exemption status and (2) Gay Marriage would now have to be taught in schools if defeated. Both are untrue and lies. For more facts vs fiction, please visit here.
Let's just take a look at the name of the proposition for a minute. I mean, even the title of the proposition is discriminatory ('Eliminates Right For Same Sex Couples to Marry.') It's shaped in the form of 'Eliminate Right for X to Y.'
Would you vote Yes for a proposition that was titled 'Eliminate Right for White Couples to Divorce'?
I think not! Why would YOU vote YES for anything fundamentally discriminatory? To do so, and to put it in the California CONSTITUTION no less should be a crime against humanity.
I beg for you to vote - vote for humanity. Don't vote for hate and discrimination. Prop 8 - It's Unfair, Unnecessary and Wrong.
Even Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Joe Biden would vote No on Prop 8 if he lived in California, as he stated on the 'Ellen' show. He also noted Barack Obama would oppose a similar initiative if proposed nationally.
See who else is against Proposition 8 in California.

Below is the newest No on Prop 8 ad featuring the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell, who voiced his strong opposition to Prop 8 and the lies about the public education system. Lying is wrong. Using kids to lie is even worse.

Peter grow up. This is about discrimination. Gay people come from staight people . Wow what a concept. Should we penalize the straights and take away marriage since they are making the gays????
Prop 8 need not divide liberals and conservatives. If one reasons it out rationally, voting NO on prop. 8 makes sense from all sides, from fiscal conservatives to constitutional literalists to civil rights supporters.
- Prop 8 Takes Away Existing Rights. The CA Supreme court affirmed the right to marry whom one wants. Prop 8 would take away rights and treat people differently under the law.
- Economics. CNBC stated that gay marriages bring in an additional $228 million to public funds in CA annually, and the Congressional budget office estimates $1 billion nationally.
- Civil Rights. Until 1967 blacks and whites could not marry each other in many states. In 1967 the US Supreme Court overturned those laws, affirming marriage as a civil rights issue, "Marriage is one of the 'basic civil rights of man'".
- Religious Rights. The first of the American Bill of Rights confirms freedom of religion. No church would ever be forced to perform a gay marriage if they didn't want to. But those that want to, they can. Allow people to worship in their own way; that's American.
Well stated!
