The View Discuss Prosition 8 and Gay Marriage

On The View Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd both agreed that Christian rights prevailed in the vote banning gay marriage. Barbara Walters tried to twist what happened by saying the Supreme Court in California voted to allow gay marriage. What really happened was the PEOPLE of California voted to ban gay marriage, then the Supreme Court in California overturned that law saying it was Unconstitutional, so the PEOPLE put Proposition 8 on the November 4 ballot. Proposition 8 proposed an ammendment to the California state Constitution that would ban gay marriage, making it Constitutional. Proposition 8 passed with an overwhelming majority of the PEOPLE of California voting for the Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. The PEOPLE spoke, but those who disagree refuse to accept reality.

Gay groups are now protesting the ban, but that isn’t going to change the Constitution. Gays are approaching this the wrong way. They keep trying to fight heterosexual Christians, but that hasn’t worked. The PEOPLE voted twice, and gays lost both times, so now what. I would suggest, as I have before, that gays try to get law makers to draft a new law that identifies a type of gay marriage that is called something other than marriage, or an expanded civil union law. The gay community have a lot of smart and creative people, so why is it so hard to come up with ideas other than attacking heterosexual Christian rights?
