Kathy Griffin's Mom: Gimme a Prop 8 on the Rocks

31. On March 20, 1924 the Virginia Legislature passed an eugenics laws entitled "The Racial Integrity Act". The Racial Integrity Act required that a racial description of every person be recorded at birth, and made marriage between white persons and non-white persons a felony.

In North America, laws against interracial marriage and interracial sex existed and were enforced in the Thirteen Colonies from the late seventeenth century onwards, and subsequently in several US states and US territories until 1967.

However, Loving v. Virginia, (1967), was a landmark civil rights case in which the United States Supreme Court declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute, the "Racial Integrity Act of 1924", unconstitutional, thereby overturning Pace v. Alabama (1883) and ending all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.

It took until 1967 for America to allow blacks and whites to have sex and get married..

Fast Forward to 2009 yet it still feels like we're living in the 60's since people can't marry who they love.

32. What are all you bible-thumpers doing here? The 700 Club has a website, use it! Better, go to the Mormon websites since you fell for thier $$$$propaganda$$$$$$. I can't imagine being so ignorant as to be terrified of anything I don't relate to. Keep preaching your hate, it accurately reflects your true heart and soul and helps the rest of us identify you for the EVIL that you really represent.

Love, Peace and UNDERSTANDING.

37. Ya know the minute that they as in GAYS can get each other pregnant naturally...I will be all for GAY marriage. Until then i'm sick to death of hearing everyone say it's all about equality and love has no boundries. Love should have boundries cause next thing you know...will have older men/women protesting wanting to marry under age little girls/boys. Do what you wanna with your same sex partner. But stop trying to force it on me and my children. It is wrong to force this subject onto anyone who doesn't believe in it. I would never hurt another person or living thing...but it's my right to believe marriage was created for man and woman. This does not make me racist! I'm just an American that believes some thing's should be left alone!

38. Nobody is born gay stop with that stupid lie

You turn gay

So we are the only animals on earth that became so smart that our brain evolved into to start liking the same sex
That’s a pure lie


The anus is an opening at the opposite end of an animal's digestive tract from the mouth. Its function is to expel feces, unwanted semi-solid matter produced during digestion, which, depending on the type of animal, may be one or more of: matter which the animal cannot digest, such as bones;[1] food material after all the nutrients have been extracted, for example cellulose or lignin; ingested matter which would be toxic if it remained in the digestive tract; and dead or excess gut bacteria and other endosymbionts.

Where does it say insert penis?



Immorality we are living in the end times and most of you blind liberals are to blind to see it

But the time will come when you will all see

Ps. I’m not a republican I don’t believe in politics

39. Why do people even believe in God?

If you do - ask yourself/answer me this:

I've heard that stories that God created Jesus...

So who created God?

And if there is someone who created God, who created the creator of God...

And so on... and so on... and so on.

YOU CAN'T CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING...

It's just like this argument about gay marriage - all the bible pushers out there need to stop creating a big stink out of something so little as people being allowed to get married.

I'm telling ya... if Christian's were allowed to rule the world, they would probably ban everything from abortion to being able to access TMZ. What a bunch of nut-jobs.

41. To #30 lostinlalaland- This site is for anyone to make a comment. If YOU don't like other peoples opinions, then maybe YOU should go to someone elses site. People forget that there is freedom of speech in this country. You may not agree with what you read, but you can't stop it. As for gay people getting married, that is fine, but that doesn't mean people are born gay. A lot of people, women especially, have gone gay because they were hurt by someone of the opposite sex, or decided to experiment and decided to stick with it soley because the sex was good.. Do you really think because Lindsay Lohan slept with a woman that makes her gay? I have friends who are gay and they are some of the greatest people I know.
Until Prop.8 is passed, this problem will always be here. Pass it already, there are more important things in the world to worry about.

42. The thing is, have some respect for the OTHER people that live around you. If you don't believe in democracy, then move. I for one would be scared if the government (supereme court)interfered in this one - we all should be because it would set a precedent for government to dictate many many more issues that we, the people, should determine. Gays ALREADY have the same rights as everyone else - what they want to steal, in order for them to feel more "normal" and good about themselbes, is to steal a term that is already taken...GET IT: THE TERM MARRIAGE IS ALREADY TAKEN!!!!!!! Find your own term (perhaps Garriage"?)

43. This has nothing to do with who one should or shouldnt be able to marry its about upholding what he people in the Democracy of California voted whether we agree with it or not. We DONT want the CA Supreme Court to be able to over rule the peoples vote. This would be very scary. What if they decided to repeal Obama as President? Would people be ok with that? If we allow the CA Supreme or any other court to repeal the peoples vote we are no longer a Democracy.

44. #30 why are people who dont believe in gay marriage evil, hate mongers? Arent you asking them to agree with your views? This doesnt apply to you as well? We need to agree to disagree and leave it at that. Calling people Bible Thumpers (not everyone who opposes gay marriage is Mormon or a Blible thumper) just makes us look like idiots and turns people off to gay marriage. YOU ARE NOT DOING THE GAY POPULATION ANY FAVORS. You are just making it worse.
