A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

It is supposed to be a response to the lies of the Yes on 8 campaign, these statements aren't coming out of the blue. When someone says that Obama supports prop 8 when Obama does not, that is a lie. When someone says that gay marriage is talked about in the bible, when it is not, that is a lie.

I've read blogs and chatted with many people who don't believe in gay marriage but are voting no on 8 because they don't believe that their view of marriage should control everyone's, or that something discriminatory should be written into the CA Constitution, or that gay people getting married (even though they don't see it as a religious/"real" marriage) doesn't affect their own religious/"real" marriage. Saying you don't believe in gay marriage and a "yes" vote are not inextricably linked. Obama, Clinton, Biden, Schwartzenegger (who vetoed a bill which would legalize gay marriage, the bastard), etc. can believe that a "no" vote is the proper vote.

So nobody's being "tricked" here.
