Proposition 8: Not Just About Marriage

by Molly on October 25, 2008

Meridian Magazine has a video they link to about what is at stake in the issue of same-sex marriage. This isn’t just about giving them the right to be married. There is alot more at stake than just the right to be married. We are losing our freedom to teach our children what we believe. They counter and say that its Tolerance, yet, they are intolerant about others beliefs. Please watch this video, it only takes a few minutes, and it will help you to realize exactly what is at stake here.

Also, this morning I found an author who is upset at the money that is being donated by church members, and links to a site where you can donate for the other side. This author also states:

“This is about consolidating the Mormon church into the wider Christianist movement. If the Mormons can prove their anti-gay mettle, they will be less subject to suspicion from evanglicals.”

As Mormons or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I don’t believe it’s our intention at all to blend in or consolidate ourselves into the Christian movement. I believe we are simply saying, don’t take away a fundamental right from us…don’t teach our children ungodly truths…we can still love each other and not have to have our children taught that someone else’s choices or behavior is correct.
