WHAT ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR ANYWAY....IF THIS IS TRUE:

A little info I found in the San Diego news......thought it was quite insightful. It was in response to a news post on prop 8....but was submitted anonymously---Darn, I'd like to thank him/her for their thoughts and insight......I'd really like to know if what is said is 100% true.......it makes no sense to me, if the follow info below is correct, that they are upset about prop 8 being passed.

"Here's a little tidbit for all of you who are against proposition 8. In the state of California, homosexuals already HAVE the same rights as heterosexual couples except that it is called a domestic partnership. They can have ceremonies, exchange vows, get gifts and have all the rights and responsibilities that come with a man/woman marriage. What they DON'T get is the federal tax exemption for a married couple (although in the past that has been considered a penalty because it was lower than if you filed separately). Here's the catch; Even IF same sex partners were allowed to call their unions "marriage," they would STILL not get that joint filing status with the federal government! Thanks to the Marriage Protection Act of 1996, the federal government only recognizes heterosexual marriages. So, why, you may ask, do they insist on having it called "marriage" instead of a domestic partnership or a civil union? Well, in Massachusetts and Canada, same sex couples are going churches and insisting that they be married there or allowed to adopt children through them. If they refuse, the ministers or churches lose the right to perform ceremonies or adoption agencies are shut down. They are tearing down people's rights to religion which is a protected right under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution! Marriage is NOT a right but a privilege and therefore should not fall under the "equal rights" that homosexuals keep screaming about. The only thing they want to do is mess with our religious beliefs! PERIOD!"
