Proposition 8 - What WIll Be Next?
By blackgirlthinking, Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 3 commentsMy personal belief is that homosexuality is wrong. Neither do I believe in same sex marriages.
However, my personal beliefs do not give me the right to say how the next person should or should not live their life. I do not allow my personal beliefs to lead me into ridicule or judgment of homosexuals or anyone else who does not have the same belief system that I have.
I have no say so and wouldn’t like to have any say so in who can marry whom and how they should go about their lives. That isn’t and should not be up to me, or anyone else to decide.
My personal and my religious beliefs are against, I shouldn’t say against because that makes it seem as if I take a stand on homosexuality being wrong and I don’t. But my personal beliefs and religious beliefs are that homosexuality is wrong, however not everyone believes as I do.
If laws are passed that prohibit same sex marriages, for me that would do nothing, being that I am not a homosexual and do not agree with it anyway I would in no way be affected by that decision.
However, if decisions like that can be made and set in stone, what will be the next decision? Will interracial marriages be on the chopping block next? How about marrying someone from another country, or marrying someone much older than you? What will be next?
How is it that anyone gets to decide that for the next person? No one should have a say so in who you love and choose to marry? What rights do you have, if you cannot even love and marry who you choose.
Even with my beliefs as they are, decisions like Proposition 8 are an sketchy subject for me because I fear that deicisons like this will lead to more and more demonstration of government power and less protection of human rights. If this deicision can move forward, what will be next and what will be the limit on taking away people’s rights? Will it be limitless?

Sexual orientation refers to
Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of or disposition to experience sexual, affectional, or romantic attractions primarily to men, to women,JN0-201or to both sexes. It also refers to an individual’s sense of personal and social identity based on those attractions, behaviors expressing them, and membership in a community of others who share them. Although sexual orientation ranges along a continuum from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual, it is usually discussed in terms of three categories: heterosexual (having sexual and romantic attraction primarily or exclusively to members of the other sex),MB2-631 homosexual (having sexual and romantic attraction primarily or exclusively to members of one’s own sex), and bisexual (having a significant degree of sexual and romantic attraction to both men and women). Sexual orientation is distinct from other components of sex and sexuality,000-076 including biological sex (the anatomical, physiological, and genetic characteristics associated with being male or female), gender identity (the psychological sense of being male or female), and social gender role (adherence to cultural norms defining feminine and masculine behavior).
