Hi, I am from China, I’ve read a lot of news about Prop 8, Actually, I don’t even have the right to vote. Now I am not here to against to you or try to convince you to vote no on Prop 8, I swear to God. I just want to share some of my opinions on this, and make sure you had thought about this problem before. we are all talking about protecting the children and their future, right? So has it ever occurred to you what if one of your children is happened to be gay, I mean, seriously think about it, you’ve never know until it really happened,right? just like the gay people’s parents did. they didn’t expect things would turn out in this way, they don’t even want it to be happened and they don’t even want to believe this is really happened to them, right? Please, admit it, what makes you think why there are so many gay people in your country, in the world. What if it does happened, do you want other people treat your children in the way as they treat nowdays’gay people? How about those children (who may be become gay)’s future, isn’t that why you are fighting for so long? is that what you want for your children? You wouldn’t be feeling hurt if it is not happen to you, but you know better than me it might be happen, maybe not your children, but it could be someones’, maybe your friends’, your brothers’ or sisters’, isn’t it? Try to put yourself in their shoes, you will know what is the right things to do. This time should not be about the marriage of gay people, is about accepting the fact that what is really happening,and how to understand it, and how to make it better… I hope you can think it through.
Thanks for reading this. I am Toby
