I support Proposition 8 and traditional definitions of marriage. For those of you who don’t know, Proposition 8 is an amendment to the California state constitution that states, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
This amendment was passed by a 52% to 47% margin in the recent election. The language on the ballot, which is considerably different from the language of the initiative itself, reads, “Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry.” While it may amount to the same thing, the difference is one of semantics and is at the crux of the protests and angry arguments that supporters and detractors are having.
Even though the amendment passed, gay rights groups are challenging it in court and there’s a good chance this battle will drag on for years to come. Proposition 8 raises some very challenging questions about the nature of marriage.
There’s a poll on the right side. Why don’t you answer and let us know what you think by commenting below?
"A marriage is a covenant before God."
Only among Christians afaik. That puts us in the minority.
