I’m against Proposition 8 – let people marry who they want.  He’s for it – believes there’s something wrong with the law.  Figuring that didn’t make much sense I asked, “what do you think is wrong with the law?”  Now, I’m not much of a legal mind, but his response saying “it’s not written correctly” sounded odd to me. He’s married to a Fillipino, so I added in there, “how would you feel if they said you couldn’t stay married to your wife because she’s not the same race?”

He paused for a minute and said, “I’m still voting for Prop 8, because it’s not written right.”  Now I was getting a little frustrated – this didn’t make sense to me.  We’re not even talking about writing a law here we’re talking about repealing a law that’s already been written.  So, I asked my question again, “seems like a stupid response considering how its written isn’t the point.  Are you voting to legislate discrimination or not?”

His response: “It’s not written right – marriage is between a man and a woman.”  After that and my comment about the next change being race related we parted ways and finished our Trick or Treating with the kids separately.  How do you feel?
