I'm going to vote tomorrow - against proposition 2. Not because I feel strongly that I want to stand up for the gay community, though that will be a nice after thought. No, I am voting NO for my country's constitution, the constitution that promises that we are created equal and as such we are entitled to certain inalienable rights and, implied is the right not to be discriminated against. We cannot claim to love America and then say that there are some people who are not entitled to being treated as humans.

Do I believe that God did created a union between a man and a women as something unique and special, and consecrated by Him. You know, I do. But I also know this, God loves us - even those who will deny Him in this world. And I don't think it is a very inviting or fragrant invitation to His love to inform other people that they don't count; that who they love doesn't matter, that their hurt, pain, anxiety or fear is an abomination. Gay people love beyond sexuality. They love in the day in day out care of another person. To tell them they cannot be present with their partner in extremis, that they don't count is unconscionable. And this is just the most obvious of violation of their humanity that I am called, as a Christian, and as someone who loves others who are gay, to recoil. Proposition 2 is the wrong answer. Proposition 2 violates our national constitution. Proposition 2 violates us as Christians.
