Prop 8

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_8_(2008)

Now, In California, except the presidential vote, the most important proposition is the Proposition 8, titled “Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry”. And the text added to the constitution was: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
This topic is so controversial, and always people who have their own opinions will insist in their opinions whatever other people try how hard to convince them.
In my mind, first I think it has no influence on me, and I do not care if they can marry to each other illegally. But now, I have changed my mind, I think the Same-Sex Couples can live together, but they should not require marrying to each other illegally. It is such a challenge to the original opinion of culture. Many things in our lives will be changed. Same-Sex Couples Marriage also cannot be accepted by many religions. And, I think this is the most main reason that people oppose Same-Sex Couples Marriage. Anyway, it is not a beautiful picture for me to see two gays or two lesbians kissing each other or doing some even exaggerating motion in front of me.
Now, it is not the quite right time to allow the Same-Sex Couples to get married legally. Any significant change in the society needs time for people to accept it. Now, people do not understand the marriage of Same-Sex Couples, but maybe 20 years later, people can easily agree with such thing. For now, this kind of thing overturns many people’s religion and the old culture in the US.
Now, to allow Same-Sex Couples to marry has too many blockages on the way ahead, so just keep the Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry, and raise it 10 years later, and maybe it will get a better result.
