    Dear California, Vote NO on Proposition 8!

    Lordy! Someone stop me! Whatever happened to rants about the TSA or video game reviews? What happened to this wonderful little blog? My little, peaceful, politics-free slice of the Internet? I know, I know. But tough.

    Here are some great videos from the "I couldn't have said it better myself, so I'm not going to bother trying" file:


    Just doing my part to reach the, up to, three fans in California who actually read my personal blog. Thanks for your time.

    Yeah I am gay Ms. Guru. I don't 'love to hate you', I feel bad for you. You think you have things all figured out.

    So you want to talk statistics? I'm from Philadelphia, murder capitol. Look up how many of the 352 murders so far have been black on black crime. or even black on anyone crime.

    You are so worried about bareback sodomy. Do you have sex? Cause you can get AIDS too, it is not just sodomy, it is any type of sex.

    As much as I want to get into it with you, its a waste of time. You're an idiot and nothing is going to change your mind. As someone whose family experienced prejudice (and I say your family because no matter what anyone says, African-American's are just as equal as anyone else, it is 2008) you are just as bad as a white slave owner. You are holding yourself higher then a gay person because you are a bigot.

    You say these are your opinions, okay well you're posting them on a blog that was to support gay marriage. Take your opinion somewhere where people want to hear your hate. No one wants to hear it here.

    I don't hate gay people silly Curt! I think the future of the planet lies in the hands of gay people!!!
    I just said its going to take some time, maybe a LOT for the disgusted masses to accept AND respect gay people. Just like I'm sure it took a while for people to get over blacks being free then given some rights. Some still aren't over it!
    I can't really comfortably compare black people to gay though since I'm one of the few who feel that homosexual sex, and lifestyles, are ultimately a choice unlike blackness.

    And still I feel like if cavemen were gay we probably wouldn't be here.

    Seasons change though and if you would have read all of my rant you'd see where I tried to offer advice and console the lost AND the disgusted.

    Stop resisting the urge to read my scroll Curt! Go ahead, I'm not a hater.

    Personally I think sodomy is icky poo to the max but I don't have to engage in it or have sex with people that do.

    And yes you're right, HIV likes pussy too but sodomy is riskier. The rectum is more delicate and the membrane within it is more prone to micro-fissures. It has little to no natural lubricant, unlike coochie, so even though being penetrated back there might be a pleasurable feeling to some people the friction from the thrusting affects the "walls" differently and since there are barely any pain receptors in the rectum and colorectal area beyond the sphincter (the tight muscle part or "booty hole") all kind of damage and rippage can happen, without the one "taking it" even knowing they are being injured internally, introducing blood (ugh!) to the sex act far more than in a vaginal penetration. Vaginas let us know when to much is going on. I also have a theory on why some women survive a infected partner without getting infected-small penises. I bet Magic Johnson and Easy-E both have tiny peters. Either that or the wives have deep vaginal canals.

    I think I'm addicted to this form of dialogue. Sorry for taking advantage of your sight Kevin. I owe you 1. or 2 or 3. but I'm sure you don't want anything to do with me, just like my buddy Curt here! =)

    No, EVERYONE believes that the sex and lifestyle is a choice. Yet we didn't choose to be attracted to men. Just how you didn't choose to be attracted to men. It IS a choice to say hey I'm going to have gay sex...it is a choice to say hey I'm actually going to comb my hair and take a look at my outfit in the mirror. There you go, you're right about sex and life style.

    It is not a choice to be attracted to men. I would never have sex with a woman, I am not sexually attracted to them. Just not my thing, but its not a choice I make, physically, women do not turn me on.

    Did you choose to be straight? Did one day you sat down and said "well I could spend the rest of my life licking some girls pussy, but I'd really prefer to have a penis rammed into me?"

    People cannot control who they are attracted to. And yes,

    And no, I don't know if cavemen were having gay sex. Next time I see a geico commercial I'll be sure to call up and find out.

    Ancient Greece is known for having homosexual relations.

    lol! You win Curt. You cool with me man.

    Do you like black men? Oooh have you seen this Chris Brown video for the song "Take you down"!!! It just went off. Wowsie!

    When I was visiting in SF last week I saw a lot of no on prop 8 ads on TV. That made me really happy. Everyone should be treated equal. I'm still upset that in Nevada same sex marriages aren't legal. I was VERY upset that when Nevada voted on it I was only 15 so I couldn't vote yet. I remember seeing what the numbers were for the vote on TV and it made me feel awful. Everyone deserves the right to be happy and if someone wants to get married because it will make them happy than let them do it! Equality for everyone. Gender, race, sexual preference shouldn't ever be an issue.

    Great post Kevin. The ads are great.

    I am voting yes on Prop 8 simply because I fervently believe that no union between two members of the same sex constitutes marriage . I believe homosexual couples should have the same rights as married couples, but to define gay unions as marriages is to defile a divine and sacred institution that has, since its existence, involved husband and wife.

    October 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterNathan

    There is a reason ancient Greece is ancient. The moral degradation of there society caused the whole nation to collapse.
    I support prop 8 for religions reasons, but don't disbelieve that many people are biologically attracted to the same sex. The church I attend expects the same standard from them that it expects from heterosexuals that don't marry--don't have sex.

    October 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAlan

    Kevin-
    Unsure if you know this: Although you've got a blog entry that appears to have your support on NO ON PROP 8, there's a huge ad to the right that is supporting YES ON PROP 8. You may want to correct that.

    @Curt. You should probably get to know your constitution. There is nowhere in the constitution that says, "separation of church and state." Besides, by making marriage controlled by the State they have already crossed that boundary. Couples even sign the marriage license (a government document!) during religious weddings. I personally think marriage should be a total religious event, while homosexuals, atheists, and other non-religious people should just get government mandated civil unions. Married people can get these civil unions as well, so that they have both a religious and government title for their union. Couples would all get the same benefits, but I doubt anyone will ever listen to my solution.

    i agree. you rock. you seem to have some stalkers but its ok. iloveyou,

    I support yes on 8. Leave sexuality out of the classroom. If you buy that lousy add that the superintendent of schools did, I'm sorry. Look on his website and you'll see 96% of schools are required to teach about marriage. Domestic partnership provides the same rights as marriage (except it's not taught in schools). Look it up.

    MY BEST FRIEND’S GAY.

    To all the straight dudes like me out there:

    It’s the day before the election.

    By the end of tomorrow, my best friend will know whether or not he can be legally married in the state of California. And as the polls stand right now, it looks like he won’t be able to do that. And that bums me out, brother.

    If you told me when I was growing up that my best friend would be gay I’d have laughed in your face, maybe even punched you in it. I grew up in a rural area of Maryland filled with mullets, acid wash jeans and the good ole boys that wore them both. Hell, I was one of ‘em… part of me still is. I went to Catholic school, a private university and didn’t know an openly gay person until I moved to Los Angeles.

    I played “smear the queer”, called my friends “faggots” and if someone did something silly or stupid, I’d call him “gay”. I simply had no frame of reference. Perhaps if you are reading this, you don’t either and I can appeal to you in these final hours…

    I know every single one of you (whether you are man enough to admit it or not) hopes to find your perfect partner… dare I say soulmate? Personally, I have visions of finding “love at first sight”, going through the first stages of love where I can’t get enough of this beautiful woman, falling madly in love with her, marrying and living happily ever after where we both die peacefully in our sleep holding hands.

    Guess what? We aren’t the only ones that have those feelings. Gay men and women have the exact same dreams that we do, because that is what PEOPLE do… dream. We dream of what we want to be when we grow up, the kind of house we want to live in, where we are going to vacation and what our perfect relationship looks like. And just like all of us straight guys where we prefer blondes over brunettes over redheads, there are some people that prefer others of the same sex. That’s really all there is to it. Believe it or not, they aren’t doing it to spite you.

    I know that some of you who oppose same sex marriage want to make this into a huge deal where the door will be open for people to marry rabbits and aliens and anything else you can imagine, but the simple fact of the matter is, that argument doesn’t work.

    My gay best friend doesn’t want to marry a rabbit any more than I do. Or an alien for that matter. (Although I would have sex with that hot alien chick on the new Battlestar Gallactica.)

    I am in the entertainment industry and since moving to L.A., I have met hundreds of gay guys and I have to tell you all a secret… “Shhhh… they are people EXACTLY like you and me except they happen to like other dudes.” I know that seems weird to you. It did to me too when I first moved out here, but since then I have observed them and taken notes and this is what I have found:

    OBSERVATION OF THE GAYS:

    1) They have feelings just like you and me. They experience love, hate, jealousy, disappointment and elation.
    2) Some of them actually have more successful relationships than we do. Imagine that. Two people in a relationship that actually works. What would you give for that? I’ve looked up to the sky and offered God ANYTHING for a successful relationship. I’m still waiting and I envy ANYONE that can make that work.
    3) Gays are PEOPLE. They are entitled to the same things all other people are: the right to vote, the right to free speech and should be afforded the right to marry one another. It’s simply a matter of equality.
    4) Gays are generally clean. This has nothing to do with anything, but I wanted to share ALL of the data with you.

    My best friend is an amazing singer and one late night, we were hanging out with a few friends and he sang, “Loch Lomond” (look it up). When he was finished, without even thinking about it, I said, “One day, I want you to sing that at my wedding.” He was honored.

    And then I started thinking about what honor I could bestow upon him to reciprocate. And it hit me that I may never be able to do something like that for him if Prop 8 passes tomorrow.

    I’ve seen him these last two weeks in the throws of a budding relationship and it has been a real education for me. I’m not used to being this tight with a buddy who also happens to be gay and I have to say there are still things that open my eyes.

    He’s in that beautiful, romantic phase of a new relationship where they want to spend every moment together. I’ve never seen him so happy. So inspired. And that makes me happy. Although it is still hard for me to understand how he can be physically attracted to another guy (we’re loud, sweaty and not that smart), what I do understand and appreciate are the feelings. And it is absolutely amazing to witness.

    I hope he falls madly in love with this guy, they move in together and if they so choose, are allowed to marry one another in the eyes of the law and all of their “fabulous” party guests. If that happens, I’m sure I’ll cry. (I’m a sucker for weddings).

    And in the meantime, I’m going to remain positive and think about what I can do for him at his wedding. It’s only fair. As it looks between the two of them now, I better start taking guitar lessons tonight.

    So from one bro to another, I’d like to ask this favor: Please vote No on Prop 8.

    Even if you don’t want to do it for the gay guys because you don’t know them, do it for me… a straight dude.

    Because I really can’t stand having to owe anyone anything!

    Thank you for reading this.

    NO ON 8!

    This whole definition of marriage thing is interesting. On one hand you have a civil rights issue and on the other hand you have an issue of freedom of religion and protection of that freedom. All these props and bills and campaigning cloud what part of the issue they're trying to attack or defend.

    Marriage is essentially, by definition, a religious institution. So I find it ironic any homosexual couple would want to align themselves with teachings that generally portray their lifestyle as invalid or sin. And it's on those terms I get that the sad, paranoid and scared religious people don't want to see "marriage" infringed on. Even if the reality is that their church wouldn't perform the ceremony in the first place. But that's ultimately where I feel the buck should stop in terms of ever prohibiting it.

    Fortunately the government, in the effort to separate church and state offers the term/act of "Civil Union". Which, obviously, is for the non-religious who want to enjoy the benefits of people getting a religious union.

    As for religious gays... well your beef is with your Church first, IMO.

    But, the harsh reality is, people voting Yes are homophobes and therefore no matter how they try to phrase it, I will always defend all humans of sound mind the right to marry whomever they please.

    For anyone voting "Yes" due to issues with sex and relationships being taught in school, understand this... Sex is natural as are partnerships... if you want to live in a society, there has to be a lowest common denominator... and one without sex education is NOT acceptable. Children are stupid. It's the whole point of them going to school in the first place, to learn. I get the argument that some people want to teach it at home but I certainly don't expect someone who's afraid of it being taught in school to properly teach their children themselves. Enough with the fear people. Grow up. To anyone who feels it's a deviant lifestyle, understand your support of that repression is what makes it deviant. If there wasn't a societal stigma, there would be less examples of the extreme.

    What is it with the USA and Sex Education anyhow? You guys are more confused than a 14 year old boy listening to Shirley Bassey records. I love how in some states, because of liquor laws, a 14 year old can walk into a strip club and see full nudity because you can't serve liquor if the bottoms come off. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT? But if you serve liquor, you have to be 21 and all you get to see are boobs.

    Repressed states! Come to Canada. (Toronto or Montreal) and see what a real strip club is like. (Frankly I still find them boring and only end up at them during a stag or business meeting, but at least when I'm there I still get my cover charge's worth.)

    @WiredRacing The majority of Californians, Floridians, and Arizonans must be homophobes then. Not to mention the states that didn't even have a similar ballot proposal in the works. Never in the history of the world has it been okay for homosexuals to get married. Even when homosexuality was socially acceptable in societies like ancient Rome or Greece, the social acceptability always stopped short of marriage.
    Your argument about homosexuality as being "natural" is laughable. Men do not have natural lubrication in their ass, so unnatural lube is almost always necessary. Women also do not have a natural member, and I'm just going to leave it at that.
    The reality is we all have the same rights. I have a right to marry a woman, and get all of the benefits that are attached to that. Just like homosexual males have the right to marry a woman, and get all of the benefits. Just because homosexuals choose not to marry a woman doesn't mean they should all of the sudden get more rights.

    I as a follower of Christ, am not really seeing the big deal. This is gonna happen it is the popular way to go people who are gay are more than likely gonna get hitched in the U.S. someday. The big problem I see with the situation is the bashing of Christian ideas. We are not only subjected to reject homosexual ideas but any ideas of what scripture lays out as sexual immorality. Including pre-marital sex, incest, beating off, and many other acts. But the bible also says the drunkards, murderers, theives, liars as well as sexually immoral will all have their place in the lake of fire.

    But even if you yourself reject the idea of Christ it is good to know what it says before you comment. There are many people who claim to be followers of Christ but do many of the above sins....are they any different than gay people to Christians? No. Disagreeing isn't hate. We are taught to love everyone including the homosexual. I love my cousins. I love my next door neighbor who is like an uncle to my sons....and he is flaming!!!! My co-workers, students, and many others in my life are gay. Telling them what I believe is in my opinion showing them love and.......they get it.

    But me personally......even before I was a believer.....I felt it was a choice. Dude it's sex. If you've ever worked at a jail you'd know many cats who go in straight make the "Gay choice".........just sayin'.....
