Absolutely not, what happened to "In God We Trust?" America no longer stands for what's right or wrong but rather stands for what will get the politician in charge the most vote's next election. Yet we wonder why America isn't being blessed by God but rather punished more and more often. Most every decision one makes in life is either right or wrong morally and we need to know the difference, God didn't change, but obviously people do. Homosexuality is just as wrong today as it was in the Biblical days and that is why America should not condone it.

I often think California (mostly Hollywood) is one of America's largest problems. So it doesn't surprise me that they would be the state to legalize gay marriages. Hey, if the entertainment world says something is acceptable it must be, right? Wrong, the state of California, in my opinion, is a modern day version of the city in the Bible that God destroyed for being so sinful and dirty.

We as Americans should be setting a better example for the next generation. Instead we are teaching them things like it is acceptable it kill unborn children that it is natural to have sexual relations with someone of the same sex, or that sex is some sort of entertainment.

Whether it is same sex or opposite sex every time they turn on the TV it is thrown in their faces. Even Nickelodeon's Nick at night, most of their shows are either talking about sex or showing sex innuendos. It is rare to see a movie with no sex or violence and we wonder why our kids are shooting and raping schoolmates at fourteen and fifteen years of age. It doesn't take a genius to see they aren't doing anything that we didn't teach them through our movies, music, and video games.

Though I don't believe children are violent or gay or sex addicts solely because they seen it on a movie or wherever I do believe when you take a someone who has some kind of issues or problems and is confused or at an impressionable age it is easy for them to relate or get the acceptance they need when Hollywood is making everything bad look appealing.
What really surprise's me are the gays themselves. I am always hearing about hard their lives are and how unfair they are treated by everyone else. If that is true why would they try to entice the younger generation and make such an effort to lead them into believing its natural or that it should be a normal way of life? For those who say homosexuals aren't trying to entice or influence the children of America, explain
