If there’s a marriage amendment in your state, vote in favor of protecting marriage. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California reiterated he opposes an initiative backed by conservatives to ban gay marriage in the state constitution. He said he personally defines marriage as between a man and a woman but that he does not “want to force that opinion on anyone.”
The governor is sadly mistaken. If homosexual civil unions in California continues to be legal, every citizen will be forced to support gay marriages and lifestyles. Many opponents of marriage ammendments claim that religious groups are imposing their beliefs on the public. Nothing can be further from the truth. The fact is, homosexual groups want to impose their beliefs on everyone. That means public institutions, like schools, will be required to teach homosexual lifestyles as normal. If a parent with a child in public school tells her child that homosexuality is wrong, Child Protective Services (CPS) can come take her child away because of "child abuse." Child abuse is the physical, psychological or sexual maltreatment of children. Liberal groups, like the ACLU, view intollerance for homosexuality (known in the propoganda media as homophobia) as psychological abuse. Take for instance the four San Diego fire fighters who were ordered to attend a gay rights parade – that’s not imposing and forcing a belief down someone’s throat? Anyone who is found to discriminate against homosexuals can lose their children, livelihood, job, forced imprisonment and/or receive fines.
