California Proposition 8, 2008

I support Proposition 8. I know there are a great many good, intelligent people who disagree with me, but I also know that I am far from alone in wanting to protect marriage from redefinition.

I recently read a comment someone wrote on a Yes on 8 YouTube video. The comment said,
"I think marriage means being officially committed .Because they should be
treated equally as everyone else, so they should get the right to
marry!"


But that is exactly the issue at stake here! I believe marriage to be so much more than that.

If Prop 8 fails, then the meaning of a sacred word will become vulgar, and the covenants associated with it will be considered as merely "being officially committed" to another person. This video illustrates the problem with misusing a general definition for a specific idea.

I am afraid that I am going to delete yet another comment. While I accept that some have a different belief and welcome it, the link that was added is really against the Mormon church which really has nothing to do with the issue. As stated before, this blog is not meant to be used to attack any religions. Making false claims against a church is, again, inappropriate for this blog.
