Google Comes Out Against California's Proposition 8

I am not either for or against same sex marriage and not a bible thumper and I do not go to church, but I still believe that when we die that is the only time we should be judged, not by someone that thinks there way is the only way. We do not have the right to judge anyone.

You people who base your entire argument on the notion of homosexuality being somehow "abnormal" or "unnatural" because it "does not exist in the animal world" are uninformed. Bruce Bagemihl, Ph.D., published the definitive reference book on homosexuality in nature in his 1999 book "Biological Exuberance". In his review of a hundred of years of notes and research projects by biologists from around the world, covering over 450 different species, he found that, not only is homosexuality and bisexuality unexceptional and common in the animal kingdom, it is the de-facto "lifestyle" standard in many of the species genetically closest to our own. So if this imaginary fact of a heterosexual animal world forms the cornerstone of your beliefs, you'd do well to find a better fact. The straightforward admission of your hatred, fear and prejudice would probably suit your arguments better as you can at least avoid looking completely foolish by misrepresenting well-known facts and observations.

I am bitterly disappointed that Google would take a stand against the time-honored, and generation proven marriage between a man and a woman-- PERIOD!!! Gays have rights like heterosexuals, but traditional marriage with husband, wife, and children is the FUNDAMENTAL unit of society. For this unit to be replaced will bring upon our nation and world calamities which have never before been seen in the world's history. Gay marriage is NOT a replacement, substitute, or in any way a mirror image of the traditional marriage. True happiness in family life can only be achieved by sustained respect, reverence, and adherence to principles found only in the traditional marriage. I'm bitterly disappointed that google has taken a stand. I've lost my respect for this search engine, and will look elsewhere for my gateway to the internet. Harriet

Okay, Maybe this is the reason why I can't find news reports on Google of the vicious personal attacks on those promoting Prop 8. Guess I'll try another search engine. Too bad you took sides, Google. Will I ever be able to trust you again?

Honestly, I've been bisexual and been in the gay scene and I still vote yes on Prop 8. Why? because I am a mom now, and although it is fine that gay people want to be accepted more, children who are innocent need not be exposed to the idea of same-sex marriage. They are so easily influenced and absorb things like a sponge, I don't think it is fair to kids to have to know about that from an early age. In the bible there was Adam and Eve not Adam and Adam. 'Course, I just started reading the bible and was never religious to begin with. There are those who decide that same-sex is the way for them. Gay, staight, we are all human, but what is natural to us as humans is our role in procreation. Animals procreate; rarely are there gay animals, and if there were, they wouldn't be flaunting it. A man and woman are supposed to make children, which is why we are here. Anything else is companionship and lust. Being gay is a choice, but it is not the most natural of choices.

There could be LOTS of celebrities who've donated to the No On 8 campaign. Maybe some of them just don't make a big deal about it by sending out a press release.

Ellen has made millions in show business but there has been NO news reported regarding a substantial donations like the contributions from Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg. What a shame she has not open her pocket book. The same goes for all the other gay celebrities. TSK TSK TSK.

Yes, Ellen would be appalled, if only to learn she is "our most dangerously worshiped leader". She might find it funny, too. Anyway, Stephen, how does one worship dangerously? And do you know she hasn't contributed any financial support? And how do you know?

Ellen actually has voiced her opinion about Pro.8. I believe she stated NO on 8 during her show. don't know if she's contributed with money but won't be surprised if she did already or will do so soon. have YOU contributed?? what only Ellen can because she's rich and famous?!??!!?

Now if Ellen, our most revered, if not dangerously worshiped leader would make some sort of effort to help No on 8. She sold her wedding photos for millions, but has yet to contribute a dime or voice of support. I'm appalled.
