VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 8

I'm writing this post to show my support to propostition 8.  I know you're thinking Jules you don't live in California so why are you spending your time on this issue?  Why do you care if homosexuals are given marriage status?  Why are you being so intolerent of others?  I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.  That union is essential to the very foundation of our society.  The wording of this prop 8 will not only affect California it will have a ripple effect across this nation.  Here are some bullet points.

§                                

Having tolerance without condoning.

We can love someone while still maintaining and advocating our standards and beliefs.

§                                Unless Proposition 8 passes, California society will soon undergo a profound change in its basic understanding of marriage and family life.

That will affect everyone in numerous ways. Over time, greater acceptance of nontraditional marriage will be demanded of all people. This could impact the ability of any religion to teach and practice its beliefs.

§                                Proposition 8 will not hurt gays.

In California, the law provides for marriage-related benefits to be given to civil unions and domestic partnerships. Proposition 8 does not diminish these benefits.

§                                Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt children.

If gay marriage remains legal, public schools will put it on equal footing with traditional marriage. Children will likely receive “age appropriate” information about sexual relations within heterosexual and homosexual marriages.  (This is already happening in Mass. one man was hauled away in handcuffs after not wanting pamphlets on same sex marriage handed to his kindergartener.  He was told it was against the law to protest where was his freedom of speech? Y'all want to home school?)

§                                Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt churches.

The court’s decision will inevitably lead to conflicts with religious liberty and free speech rights. Society will become more and more hostile to traditional beliefs about marriage and family.

I have a strong testimony of family, Satan is powerful and has waged an all out war on the family we must not lie down we must fight back!  Jesus Christ lives He loves us all.  The battle is waging, the exciting thing is we know who will win, now who's on the Lord's side who!  

I challenge all who read this to blog, facebook, whatever it is you do to get the word out vote yes on proposition 8 if nothing else we testify of family! http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/
