The Mormon church is the organization that funded the majority of the drive to vote in Prop 8 to ban gay marriage. What they do not realize or refuse to admit is that marriage is a binding legal contract approved by the State and County! To be married in the US, a County MUST issue a marriage license (or you are not legally married).
With the separation of church and state, and with anti-discrimintation laws in place, this ballot measure should not have passed as it is illegal to discriminate based on race OR gender! If black and white people can marry one another, then a gay couple should be allowed to marry. The law is clear: do NOT discriminate! Therefore, this yes on Prop 8 MUST be overturned.
Please, please, repost your thoughts on your blogs and social networking sites… remind people about the separation of church and state, about the legalities of marriage contracts, about the anti-discrimination laws and about how nobody should even try to remove civil rights from any other citizen!!! It should be a crime to do so!
Article that I just read that invoked my rage at the Yes on 8 people!
