Question:
I am a resident of California who strongly supports diversity and equality of all individuals despite race, religion, gender, age, etc. No one should be treated differently for their inherited traits. However, one thing to note with Prop. 8 is that same-sex couples within state of California have access to the same rights and benefits under CA Family Code as any "opposite-sex" married individuals.
Proposition 8 is solely an issue about the definition of marriage; it is not about rights. Same-sex couples can choose to join together in union, but marriage is and has always been a legal agreement between a man and a woman, not "Party A" and "Party B."
