Homosexuals riots in CA?

Let me say first off that I voted NO on Prop 102, which passed and banned Gay Marriage in the state of AZ on Tuesday. With that out of the way, I have a couple of questions about the riots in California. I have nothing against Gay Marriage, and I have no problem with them sharing a title with the Straight majority. However, how do you feel about these riots? I think they should respect the fact that Californians spoke (as Arizonans) and rejected Gay Marriage. What do you think? I also think they should be grateful they live in a country that doesn't persecute you if you live that kind of life style.

    While I can certainly sympathize and understand where they're coming from, I don't think rioting is going to get our voices heard. People generally don't respond well to riots and uncontrolled anger.

    People respond to people better when they're mature and rational and voice their frustrations in an adult manner.

  • Those who voted for Proposition 8 should realize that when you push people around, some people will push back.

    Whether the seats in the front of the bus are for some people while the seats in the back are for others, one water fountain is for some people while another water fountain is for others, or a marriage license is for some people while a "Civil Union" or "Domestic Partnership" is for others, all employ the same discriminatory reasoning of Separate but Equal.

    The time has come to fight.

    Sure and if the Californians and Arizonans wanted to implement segregation again we should let them go for it!!! Come on be real, homosexuals are just asking for equal rights...A great civilization is determined on how well they treat their minorities..America has a long way to go still....

    The Constitution tells us that if the people are dissatisfied with their government then they must overthrow it.

    Well I think what is happening is the Gays have pushed religious moral values into a corner and they have simply had enough, and society is telling them that their simply not going to stand for this gay and lesbian crap any more that's how I see it anyway.
