Prop 8

As society changes and evolves in the western world people are becoming more open to the historically taboo 'gender/s' of homosexuality and the rights of same sex couples. Most significantly the right to marry. The status of same sex marriage in California for example, is unique amongst the USA in that the state formerly granted marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but has discontinued doing so.
A hot political and social topic, the ongoing struggle to legalize homosexual marriage in CA and the USA has been higly publiced and fought by several influential figures and has been spear headed by the famous and powerful bringing it to the attention of the masses.

A recent all star cast play (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Lynch, Kevin Bacon) streamed live and free of charge on Youtube dramatizes withheld transcripts of the court case in which 'Proposition 8' was attempted to be overruled in the state of California.

Within the trial the origins of homosexuality are explored. Is this gender something that you are born with, when does it develop, can it be repressed or eradicated. Therefore is it a gender?

While highly dramatised and often comedic it does present some compelling arguments whether you are pro or anti same sex marriage.
An argument used throughout by the opposing 'proposition 8' party is how children are affected. How do you explain to a child that you can have two dads or two mums and can fall in love with and marry either a man or woman. When do you explain this? What at the implications to society and the future?

 OR!
