Liberals always talk about respecting the will of the people but not when it comes to gay rights. No we must overturn all laws (especially Prop 8 which was voted on by the PEOPLE) dealing with homosexuality. More double standards.
Civil Rights should not be up for a popular vote.

Are you making fun of black people? You know more than half of black people are opposed to homosexuality? Guess which group was instrumental in striking down gay marriage in California? Prop 8 would never have passed if it didn't have the support of the black and latino community, most especially the black one. Most people oppose the homosexual agenda, especially us "stupid uneducated minorities who should just shut up and vote Democrat".

Smash255 didn't say a word about black people. Nice try, though.

His point is that civil rights are for everybody. No group in America gets to "own" civil rights.

Most blacks are against homosexual marriages, even after being subjected to pro homosexual propaganda by their liberal over loards for over a decade now. Hawaii isn't full of white liberals, so I doubt they will allow homosexuals to bully them into accepting their right to marriage or civil unions.

Hawaii will have same sex marriage in within a year. Lingle is term limited, former Congressman Neal Abercrombie is in favor of same sex marriage and he is a shoe in for next Governor of Hawaii.

boy you don't know Hawaii do you.
Hawaii has been the progressive state in the Union. Seeing that were more open to interracial marriage than most of the US.

Same Sex unions is just around the corner. Lingle will be out and Abercrombie will start legislation that will repeal the Hawaii Constitution definition of marriage (that was marred by right wing haters) and will get passed a Same Sex marriage or Union bill

If they allow it they will be boycotted and demonized, costing them billions in revenue. Money is going to be more important to them then gay marriages.

Insane. Even Republican studies show that same-sex marriage increases revenue for a state.

Same Sex Marriage (http://www.foxandhoundsdaily.com/blog/matt-klink/same-sex-marriage-%E2%80%93-an-economic-windfall-california - broken link)

He said civil rights should not be up for popular vote - and they aren't, and they shouldn't be. That's the whole point of having them in the first place...

Whatever other problems you have, a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the equal protection clause is among them.
