| Show Gay marriage nixed in California f 0 1 i j Amelia Corey Campus Reporter On May 2009 the California Supreme Supreme Supreme Su Su- preme Court once again ruled the question of Gay Marriages being legal in California to be up to the people letting the vote on Proposition 8 go through the legal system While many people have roared in protest and reacted to the point of violence and vandalism against one particular church dont don't pretend you dont don't know that I am talking about the religion we are left asking are their cries for justice on their right to marriage legitimate I feel that I am a fairly accepting person of all races religions sexes and sexual orientations I Iam Iam Iam am however part of a religion that has taken a stand on something of a apolitical apolitical apolitical political nature On Oct 16 h 2008 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Latter Day Saints issued a call to arms or a call to phones so to speak to protect the sanctity of marriage The religion has always been a huge sup sup- porter of making and keeping families sacred and special like the way the world and our culture portrays and accepts the ideal image of families But thanks to the increasing increasing increasing ing downfall of morals in inthe inthe inthe the world marriage has been slowly but surely ripped and twisted to the point of perversion Since when was binding yourself to someone for forthe forthe forthe the rest of your life okay to do on the internet What's next If we start legalizing gay marriage a man in Texas might complain about his right to marry his horse Isn't that called bestiality Another concern of mine is that as of May 2009 in Sacramento CA the school district of Alameda Unified is adopting a new curriculum curriculum curriculum lum on Sex Education This curriculum specifically specifically specifically elevates respect for gay lesbian and bi bisexual bisexual bisexual bi- bi sexual students and their families over respect for diverse racial and religious backgrounds Children as young as five years old will now be taught that there is no o. o t to difference between heterosexual heterosexual heterosexual het het- marriage and gay marriage Anyone who remembers their seventh grade sex education education education edu edu- cation class remembers the anatomy of males and females Males cannot cannot cannot can can- not reproduce with each other and females cannot cannot cannot can can- not reproduce with each other This is misleading misleading misleading mislead mislead- ing to the children The worst part is that parents have no say in the mat mat- ter In times past parents could opt out of their children learning about homosexual education Now these parents and children are not getting a choice on how or if they want the children to learn about these subjects And now that gay lesbian bi bisexual bisexual bisexual bi- bi sexual and identities are placed on a higher pedestal pedestal pedestal ped ped- estal than racial and re religious religious religious re- re backgrounds are we going to start having complaints from different different different differ differ- ent races and religions We need to stop somewhere somewhere somewhere some some- where before the political chaos that has corrupted a beautiful and sacred tradition is marred to the point of disillusionment |
