Will it Ever End?

As many of you know, the Prop 8 debate still continues. Despite California's vote in favor of the traditional definition of marriage (for the second time), gay marriage supporters are trying to overturn it (for the second time). The "governator" has now gone on the record stating he hopes the Supreme Court overturns Prop 8. It especially disappoints me that Prop 8 opponents have been protesting at many churches and temples. I guess people have the right to assemble, but don't people also have the right to vote without being threatened? I got this from a friend's blog and thought it was interesting:

Elton John: Heterosexual Couples Have Marriage, Same-Sex Couples Have Civil Partnerships

USA Today published an article yesterday in which Sir Elton John spoke about his position on Proposition 8. John clarified his position on Prop 8 while attending the annual benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. He was accompanied by his longtime partner David Furnish, whom he joined in a civil union in 2005. John was quoted as saying, "We're not married. Let's get that right. We have a civil partnership. What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage."

John went on to emphasize that civil unions grant same-sex couples the same rights afforded to married heterosexual couples. He stated, "I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership…the word marriage, I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."

As far as I'm concerned, my friends: partner up civilly to your heart's content!
