I was just surfing around on You Tube and discovered several spots for "Yes on 8", all of which used adorable children in the ads.  How despicable to use innocent little children to promote hate!  What an irony it would be if one of those children grew up to be lesbian.  (All I saw were girls; I suppose they connote "innocence" the best.)  My idea of loving children is to love each one the way he or she is.  Homosexuality is said to be predictable as early as pre-school through observing a child.  I can only imagine how it would feel to be part of a church community that is a vital part of your life, only to have them turn on you, and/or promote self-hatred in you, just for discovering, in the tender, insecure moments of pre-adolescence, that you are attracted to the the "wrong" gender.  How is that wholesome?  How is that loving?  Why is this kind of hate so prevalent?
