Proposal 8
I am not certain what my stance is on this proposal, even though i am not favorable towards the homosexual life style it still seems harsh to take the rights of those gay couples who were already married. Its almost like giving a child a candy bar that they really want, but before the child is able to finish the candy the mom snatches it out of his/her hand. They should have kept it one way and not made a sudden change of mind, either don't recognize gay marriage or recognize it. Whether right or wrong i hope that whatever the final choice is, that it just stays final because you cant be double sided in decision making, a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. I dont want one day to not be able to go to church because people changed their mind and voted against free assembly.

I can definitely appreciate your uncertainty surrounding Proposition 8, as it seems to be a common theme among many people in our country. However, I was somewhat troubled by your comparison of gay people's rights in California to a child with a candy bar. While I support your freedom to have and express your opinion and debates surround the proposition, I think that it is dangerous to compare something as serious as medical benefits and other civil rights to a child's desire for a treat. I feel that comparisons such as the ones that you made create a climate of disrespect for people and devalue their lives and lifestyle. I would urge you to be perhaps more cautious in the future when trying to make comparisons. I'm sure that you did not mean to offend anyone, but your remarks might be seen as dismissive and callous, especially to young children. Again, I respect your opinion and your right to express it, but I think there is a danger in making such comparisons, and I think it is especially important to consider when thinking of oneself as a future educator.
