Right-wingers have some crazy notions about us gays. We’re responsible for all sorts of social and natural ills – AIDS, Katrina, no white after Labor Day. And now we’re apparently responsible for human trafficking. That’s why, according to some social conservatives, California must pass Proposition 8, the ballot measure intended to overturn gay marriage:
Prop 8 Marriage Protection Amendment will help hinder human trafficking of children by reinforcing the social structure of the traditional, nuclear family.
…
Most hear of trafficking overseas. Now there is “reverse trafficking”. Predators come to the United States to have sex with children.Prop 8 Impact: Child prostitutes predominantly come from broken homes where girls do not have a stable two parent family. Instead they are either thrown away, run away or lured. If these children had the balance of a mother and a father the chances of them falling into the hands of the predator are drastically reduced.
Reinforcing the natural, traditional family of a mother and father by Prop 8 will help build and maintain sound families protecting children. Much more will need to be done i.e. bringing moral integrity to the culture.
Homosexual marriage sets forth an open door for confusion of what is normal. Homosexual acceptance takes away the stability of the societal standard of mother and father.
And then America will be made up entirely of whores and pimps and God will smite us and send us to hell, where Satan himself will sodomize every last citizen. Unless you vote for Prop 8, which will immediately end all evil in the world and propel our nation to celestial heights.
Hoorah for mass delusions!

“Homosexual marriage sets forth an open door for confusion of what is normal.”
Why yes, it certainly does.

Christians are behind this. Christians. Don’t mistake them for ordinary Republicans. They are CHRISTIANS. The hatred that Christians have for America is oozing out of their pores.
THEY HATE AMERICA. They require hatred and that hatred causes them to LIE. That’s because their entire religion is huge lie.

Mark is funny.
I don’t understand why, if child prostitution as the result of SINGLE parent households, they don’t encourage gay marriage (that is, 2 potential parents) OR why they don’t just ban divorce. Stupid c&ntboogers…

Desperate + lame.
gay as life
Of COURSE they would say this. These scumbags always try to conflate homosexuality with pedophilia and sexual harm to children, even though there is no connection there.

Not only is there no connection, but the repressive and monarchical nature of their version of the traditional family unit (not mine, or that of anyone with an actual brain) is what actually exposes children to abuse. Where the male rules and holds all the economic power, abuse is the logical outcome. Whether this abuse happens within the family, or whether it flows out of it, unmitigated male power is the reason it happens.
I actually AM an enemy of the traditional family, which is a site of abuse. The defence of the great, holy, traditional family is nothing more than a futile attempt on behalf of heterosexual males to shore up their dissipating power in the world, maintaining such perks as the abuse of children and women. Pointing the finger at the gay community is a damned good to deflect attention from the truth, as always. If the traditional family is dying it’s because the truth about its nature has seeped out and a lot of people (like me, a het woman) won’t participate in it any more.

There is a lot of truth in what you say, Jennifer.
I have have observed families,(even straight ones!) where the familial energy was very loving.
It seemed to emanate from the the parents, who were always two people who genuinely enjoyed each other’s company, and loved being together with and without the kids around.
Mind you, I’ve only seen this a few times, but I think it’s a worthy goal for people considering marriage.
