Should same sex marriage be legalized or banned?


Same sex marriage should be legalized. I believe that everyone should have equal rights and be treated equally as individuals. I think that it is wrong to try and segregate gay people as if they weren't human or something. They are normal people just like everybody else, and they deserve to be treated the same way as everyone else. They deserve to love and marry who ever they want no matter what, just like everybody else. The first amendment states the freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. Why can't gay people have the freedom to say and feel what they want? It's wrong to discriminate and try to exclude people just because they don't believe in the same things as most people do. I don't believe that it is fair for those people who want to marry the one that they love, but can't becuase they are afraid of this discriminatory world. I don't see why it is such a big issue for people that people want to get married with the same sex. It's not like their bothering them in any kind of way. My main point is that it is VERY wrong and unfair to ban same sex marriage.So when you vote, I encourage you to vote NO on prop 8.

Junior Class President Election

I think Dominique Commer would be best as Junior class president because she is loyal, trustworthy, and she sticks by her word. If she says that she will do something, she will definitely do it. I have known Dominique since the sixth grade and i know that she can be trusted and she is a great leader. She knows how to take control and she listens to the voices of the students. She doesn't only care about what she wants, but also what the students want. She is very intelligent, and always knows what she is doing.
