Nearly half the states are 16 (some 17), much of the world is as well. When I was a kid, in Hawaii, it was 14. If you enter the military, it's 16. Sure, I'd rather it all be 18, but why should we be specifically concerned with Arkansas consent laws when this is about California and also about a different matter?
Why ask Arkansas? I looked up the state constitution itself. Prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional. It is right there in the constitution. No need to change anything or worry about another state.
If we keep lying to our kids and let them know, they can do whatever they want, they will be on the streets. Children deserve to be told the truth. When they are adults, they can make their decision about certain things in life and live the life that they want, but when they are children and they are still young adults, we should not lie to them. We are feeling our children with trash in their minds instead of just letting them be children and maybe later on in life decide what they want, but this has gotten to be too much way too much
Gay marriage has been legal in California since 2013. This new prop that has passed now removed the language of who can marry who. Now I bet in years to come, someone will be allowed to marry an animal.
Voting Yes means. Same sex marriage will be officially legalized, same sex marriage is legal but can be overturned by a court in the future or anytime. So voting yes will protect lbgtq rights even from future court laws that would want to make same sex marriage illegal.
Voting Yes. It's time for California to protect gay couple's right to marry. The arguments against prop 3 are the same same old scare tactics that opponents have used going back to at least prop 22. They are empty and without merit. Gay marriage has been legal in California for 10+ years now without any of the consequences opponents of same sex marriage warned of. The only thing that happened is gay couples were allowed to marry and move on with their lives. Listening to opponents is like chicken little claiming the sky will fall.
No, it can't be overturned by a court. Prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional. Voting yes doesn't protect anyone. Every consenting adult is already protected since the ruling.

Most people don't have biblical marriages. If you want to have a religious marriage between a man and a woman you still have that freedom. Hope this clears up your confusion.
Yes on 3! It's time to protect same sex couples marriages. Gay marriage has been legal in california for over 10 years. It's time to get rid of the useless law that is prop 8.
@@KayKay_Monaie I disagree. Same-sex couples should not be treated unequally and locked out of the benefits that marriages provide simply because of the religious beliefs of others. You can have this opinion and not be against this right.
Yes marriage is only man and woman. No matter what a woman needs a man to produce and even without a man she needs his sperm to produce. God word and law marriage is between a man and woman.
After what they did with Roe, I'll vote to take that shit out of the constitution.

They just need to make a straight bill to add same sex marriage in the constitution nobody would be against that. So this is not the bill.
A "zombie law" is what you would call a law that is on the books but is unenforceable. In this case California still has a 2008 ban on same-sex marriage in its constitution which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2015 in the case Obergefell v. Hodges. This new ballot measures seeks to remove that 2008 ban language from the constitution.
marriage is a religious practice and it should only be between a man and a woman. create a new practice for this modern day and call it something other than marriage giving them the same rights as marriage. Stop trying to force religious people to change what they have been believing for centuries but create something new for these new age people😂
Religion isn't homophobic USA has separation of church and state Prop3 also protects ppl of different races married. The cuckfederacy lost. I voted YES💙
Marriage is far older than any religion you're likely to see practiced today. But maybe you're more used to parents assigning a spouse to their children for business purposes.
I agree with the sentiment of any adult freely marrying, but the way this prop is written up leaves open unintended consequences. Rewrite the prop to clearly define adult consent and other unintended side effects and then I will sign.
This explained NOTHING!!! Your closing statement of the video explained ZERO!!! Please use Laymans English to tell us what voting YES, and voting NO on Prop 3 would actually BE!!! we don’t need your official, technical or red tape jargon! Is prop 3 FOR or AGAINST same-sex marriage??? Please answer plainly and directly or redo this video!!! I won’t trust anyone else’s response, other than the organization that posted it.

Voting no means courts will have the right to overturn same sex marriage in the future, the California constitution says “marriage is between a men and a woman. Even tho same sex marriage is legal. Voting no means you believe marriage is only between a man and a woman.
@@jackslap2276 Voting 'Yes' on Proposition 3 would be for same-sex marriage. Voting 'no' would be against. The proposition seeks to remove a gay marriage ban from the state constitution. It's already unenforceable due to court rulings but could come back into effect in the future if they were ever overturned. This is a real concern as the Supreme Court has suggested overturning Obergefell. The proposition is preemptive and if it passes it will not effect how marriage are performed, therefore not costing the state any money. In fact, it could actually benefit the economy in the long run, as more weddings brings more money.
What's different (besides the side morally grandstanding) between this and Prop 8? If Prop 8 that defined marriage as a man and a woman, a decision supported by the majority of Californians, was overturned by an activist judge, couldn't an activist court just decide to ignore the will of the people again and overturn Prop 3 if it passes?
Prop3 will make it a law for people of different races and gay marriage to be protected.. Trump judges won't be able to overturn it like they did with roe.
I do believe that we as a people deserve the freedom to marry the person you love but (I know I will incur internet hatred for this but here i go) I do think it is a very slippery slope to loosing freedoms as a whole people if we allow any changes to any kind of wording on the constitution. There is a big part of me that feels I'm too paranoid about the dangers of government taking our freedoms away but there is a small part of me that truly believes this is them testing to see how much they can revise the only document that truly protects us from them to a likeness that will eventually just protect them from us. I mean we are not voting on how they change the language exactly we are just giving them the permission to change the "dated" language, who's to say they won't one day say our amendments were written in a "dated and "racist" way that should be corrected to reflect modern views? In this context you'd probably think I'm overreacting but this really is how governments slowly take away freedoms. Not here to argue just stating my inner thoughts. I respect your opinion more importantly your vote.
California legislature proposed it. Gay and interracial couples will benefit from it as well as the state economy more broadly as more weddings brings more money. It's important because the right to marry is fundamental for many people's lives and provides many benefits you can't get otherwise. It's also important because the Supreme Court has hinted it wants to reverse the case that legalized gay marriages nationwide, so changing this language will help keep it legal in California.
I agree that children are raised best by a mother and a father but these women are divorcing at an alarming rate so why not have two loving fathers raise the children ?
There have actually been studies that show gay couples raise kids just as well and even in some ways better than straight parents! I would vote yes personally. There is no harm.
Divorce rates have actually gone down in recent years. But that's besides the point. Two parents tend to be more successful than one regardless of gender or sex. It's pretty obvious that two responsible adults working together to raise a child would be more likely to do well. All the panic about "kids need a father and mother" were proven wrong.
There isn't. I haven't seen anything. I have seen alt righties spread propaganda. This proposition doesn't change the age of consent. Why won't the alt right ask why Arkansas age of consent is 16!
@@marcduchamp5512 There really isn't. It would change nothing about how marriages are conducted in California, all it would do is remove the old unenforceable gay marriage ban from the constitution, which could snap back into effect in the future if Obergefell were ever overturned (something a justice on the Supreme Court has suggested should happen). By preemptively doing this it ensures marriage equality remains legal in California no matter what. It will cost the state no money and will actually bring in more as the economy benefits from more weddings.
I feel like this too. I would like the language changed, but what are they going to change it to? Leaving the language vague could be problematic later on.
Just look at the California constitution. Prop 8 was already ruled unconstitutional. There is no need for an unclear change. The words 'fundamental right' is not clear enough or specific enough. As our constitution stands. Same sex couple's, who are consenting adults, are already protected.
@@JoseHernandez-dd3mjthis is a classic propoganda point used by gay marriage opponents since the 2000s when they sought to ban it. They made claims about "if gay marriage is legalized or codified it will lead to dog marriages" which has not happened, and will not happen.
There's a lot more to proposition 3 then that. If that was just the case, it would be fine. But in proportion 3 now you can marry kids. You can also have polygamy which in my opinion is not an issue. The part with the kids is. It takes rights away from parents. So if some rich guy wants to marry your 14 daughter he can now and there's nothing you can do about it. He's now the guardian of your child. They always slip some extra stuff in these propositions. All they need to do is make it simple same sex marriage proposal.
@@Bailey-cx7zzthis is not true, and is classic strawmanning and propoganda spread by opponents of gay marriage. They said the exact same things when they sought to ban it in the 2000s and since becoming legal it has never happened.

The campaign was specifically about same sex marriage, why do you think the law only mentions man and woman, proposition 3 wants to overrule that, sorry but that argument is so disingenuous, child marriage is happening in California yet that zombie law is still in the book, either you know you’re lying or you’ve been lied to and didn’t do any research.

@@BIGDAWG91331 Not at all. All it does is remove the provisions that banned marriage between two people of the same sex, there has been no mention of family members or kids and to say that that's even in the conversation is blatant fear mongering and strawmanning. This was actually quite a common scare tactic during anti-gay marriage campaigns in the 2000s, but now that gay marriage has been legal for more than a decade these fears have not manifested. If you're really worried about child marriages, maybe bring that up with the countless red states where it is actually legal, and Republicans legislatures refuse to outlaw it.

How is this a "Slippery slope" thing? Gay marriage has been legal in California for more than 10 years, this would change nothing but codify it in the constitution.
Ask Arkansas that Proposition 3 is just about opposite and same sex. It doesn't change the age of consent. Did you know the Confederate states like the age of consent low. Arkansas only recently raised it to 16! Proposition 3 doesn't change the age of consent. CA age of consent is 18. Arkansas 16.

Oh, we can make a law a "zombie law"? Ok, good to know.
That's not what they are saying. It's an unenforceable law or overridden by something else. No one needed to make it a zombie.
@@Vamanos46 They said it's a zombie law.
A "zombie law" is what you would call a law that is on the books but is unenforceable. In this case California still has a 2008 ban on same-sex marriage in its constitution which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2015 in the case Obergefell v. Hodges. This new ballot measures seeks to remove that 2008 ban language from the constitution.
No
That means the court can overturn the law in the future, it’s not protected and it’s not officially written in the California constitution.
Nah
Yeah! 🏳️🌈
marriage is a religious practice and it should only be between a man and a woman. create a new practice for this modern day and call it something other than marriage giving them the same rights as marriage. Stop trying to force religious people to change what they have been believing for centuries but create something new for these new age people😂
Religion isn't homophobic
USA has separation of church and state
Prop3 also protects ppl of different races married.
The cuckfederacy lost.
I voted YES💙
Marriage is far older than any religion you're likely to see practiced today. But maybe you're more used to parents assigning a spouse to their children for business purposes.
I agree with the sentiment of any adult freely marrying, but the way this prop is written up leaves open unintended consequences. Rewrite the prop to clearly define adult consent and other unintended side effects and then I will sign.
This explained NOTHING!!! Your closing statement of the video explained ZERO!!! Please use Laymans English to tell us what voting YES, and voting NO on Prop 3 would actually BE!!! we don’t need your official, technical or red tape jargon! Is prop 3 FOR or AGAINST same-sex marriage??? Please answer plainly and directly or redo this video!!! I won’t trust anyone else’s response, other than the organization that posted it. I should not have to post a comment like this on a government channel in order to get a straight answer!!! Terrible of you.
Voting Yes means. Same sex marriage will be officially legalized, same sex marriage is legal but can be overturned by a court in the future or anytime. So voting yes will protect lbgtq rights even from future court laws that would want to make same sex marriage illegal.
Voting no means courts will have the right to overturn same sex marriage in the future, the California constitution says “marriage is between a men and a woman. Even tho same sex marriage is legal. Voting no means you believe marriage is only between a man and a woman.
@@jackslap2276 Voting 'Yes' on Proposition 3 would be for same-sex marriage. Voting 'no' would be against. The proposition seeks to remove a gay marriage ban from the state constitution. It's already unenforceable due to court rulings but could come back into effect in the future if they were ever overturned. This is a real concern as the Supreme Court has suggested overturning Obergefell. The proposition is preemptive and if it passes it will not effect how marriage are performed, therefore not costing the state any money. In fact, it could actually benefit the economy in the long run, as more weddings brings more money.
Voting yes💙
Vote Kamala💙
What's different (besides the side morally grandstanding) between this and Prop 8? If Prop 8 that defined marriage as a man and a woman, a decision supported by the majority of Californians, was overturned by an activist judge, couldn't an activist court just decide to ignore the will of the people again and overturn Prop 3 if it passes?
Prop3 will make it a law for people of different races and gay marriage to be protected..
Trump judges won't be able to overturn it like they did with roe.
@@Gizm0_9
The confederates are against prop3.
I already voted yes.
I do believe that we as a people deserve the freedom to marry the person you love but (I know I will incur internet hatred for this but here i go) I do think it is a very slippery slope to loosing freedoms as a whole people if we allow any changes to any kind of wording on the constitution. There is a big part of me that feels I'm too paranoid about the dangers of government taking our freedoms away but there is a small part of me that truly believes this is them testing to see how much they can revise the only document that truly protects us from them to a likeness that will eventually just protect them from us. I mean we are not voting on how they change the language exactly we are just giving them the permission to change the "dated" language, who's to say they won't one day say our amendments were written in a "dated and "racist" way that should be corrected to reflect modern views? In this context you'd probably think I'm overreacting but this really is how governments slowly take away freedoms. Not here to argue just stating my inner thoughts. I respect your opinion more importantly your vote.
Ask yourself - WHO is behind the Prop 3?
WHO will benefit from this change and WHY this is so crucially important for these people?
California legislature proposed it. Gay and interracial couples will benefit from it as well as the state economy more broadly as more weddings brings more money. It's important because the right to marry is fundamental for many people's lives and provides many benefits you can't get otherwise. It's also important because the Supreme Court has hinted it wants to reverse the case that legalized gay marriages nationwide, so changing this language will help keep it legal in California.

I agree that children are raised best by a mother and a father but these women are divorcing at an alarming rate so why not have two loving fathers raise the children ?
There have actually been studies that show gay couples raise kids just as well and even in some ways better than straight parents! I would vote yes personally. There is no harm.
This is incorrect my dad was abusive and assaulted my mom multiple times, they live like cats and dogs. It was traumatizing.
Two fathers, 2 mothers, a father and mother.
Those 3 should remain legal.
Divorce rates have actually gone down in recent years. But that's besides the point. Two parents tend to be more successful than one regardless of gender or sex. It's pretty obvious that two responsible adults working together to raise a child would be more likely to do well. All the panic about "kids need a father and mother" were proven wrong.

@@marcduchamp5512 There really isn't. It would change nothing about how marriages are conducted in California, all it would do is remove the old unenforceable gay marriage ban from the constitution, which could snap back into effect in the future if Obergefell were ever overturned (something a justice on the Supreme Court has suggested should happen). By preemptively doing this it ensures marriage equality remains legal in California no matter what. It will cost the state no money and will actually bring in more as the economy benefits from more weddings.
I feel like this too. I would like the language changed, but what are they going to change it to? Leaving the language vague could be problematic later on.
Just look at the California constitution. Prop 8 was already ruled unconstitutional. There is no need for an unclear change. The words 'fundamental right' is not clear enough or specific enough. As our constitution stands. Same sex couple's, who are consenting adults, are already protected.

Thanks for the explanation. That's a no-brainer - yes on 3, get rid of outdated zombie law.
There's a lot more to proposition 3 then that. If that was just the case, it would be fine. But in proportion 3 now you can marry kids. You can also have polygamy which in my opinion is not an issue. The part with the kids is. It takes rights away from parents. So if some rich guy wants to marry your 14 daughter he can now and there's nothing you can do about it. He's now the guardian of your child.
They always slip some extra stuff in these propositions. All they need to do is make it simple same sex marriage proposal.

@@Bailey-cx7zzthis is not true, and is classic strawmanning and propoganda spread by opponents of gay marriage. They said the exact same things when they sought to ban it in the 2000s and since becoming legal it has never happened.
Not even true, You know that law was a ballot measure that was approved in 2008 right?

Incorrect.
Proposition 3 isn't about the age of consent.
People need to stop spreading propaganda
But, Ask why Arkansas has their age of consent at 16..
@@BIGDAWG91331 Not at all. All it does is remove the provisions that banned marriage between two people of the same sex, there has been no mention of family members or kids and to say that that's even in the conversation is blatant fear mongering and strawmanning. This was actually quite a common scare tactic during anti-gay marriage campaigns in the 2000s, but now that gay marriage has been legal for more than a decade these fears have not manifested. If you're really worried about child marriages, maybe bring that up with the countless red states where it is actually legal, and Republicans legislatures refuse to outlaw it.
