kitanziThis is what I would like to say about CA's Proposition 8, said the best that I have seen it said.
You know, in your heart, what marriage is.
It may be based on what your parents taught you, and on how they acted when they thought you weren't watching. It's based on your friends' parents. It's based on television. It's based on religion. It might be based on a marriage you're in now. It might be based on a marriage you were in before, or more than one.
It might mean love, but it might mean hate. It might mean faith, but it might mean reason. It might mean honesty, but it might mean betrayal.
You know, in your heart, what marriage is. I know, in my heart, what marriage is. Every other person knows, in their heart, what marriage is.
But you don't know what, in my heart, marriage is. And I don't know, in your heart, what marriage is. And no other person knows, in any other heart, what marriage is.
So we look for common ground.
