Voting Yes on Proposition 8

My sister Bethany has been really involved with all of the Proposition 8 business going on in CA. She's posted a lot of information about it on her blog, and I think there a lot of things she's linked to that are worth reading or watching. I'm going to give a brief list here:

This website is a good way to become familiar with the proposition and it's effects on the entire nation if it doesn't pass. You can also make a donation to help the fight in favor of Prop 8. (just fyi, because sometimes it's confusing, those in favor of marriage being defined as a union between man and woman will be voting Yes on Proposition 8)

Here is an article about things that have happened in Massachusetts since they legalized homosexual marriage.

An interesting thought...

A family's fight against gay marriage propaganda in their children's schools.

A 1st grade field trip to meet their teacher after she married her partner. Here's an article, and here's a video.

Because a lot of words have been flying back and forth between the groups for and against Prop 8, here's an article about "who's really lying."

Feel free to check out my sister's blog. She has some more videos on hers.

When I think about the damage that can be done (and has already been done in Massachusetts) it really scares me to think about this spreading through the country.

Church leaders have also spoken about how important it is for us to maintain the sacred bond of marriage and keep it between a man and woman. My friend Christine has a couple of videos with church leaders on her blog as well. You may want to look into those too.

Here's an interesting post from an Evangelical Minister on why he's voting NO on 8
