Vote Yes on Prop 8

In March 2000, California voters passed Prop 22 to specify in state law that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. In May 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled that the statute violated the equal protection clause of the California Constitution. As a result of the ruling, marriage between individuals of the same sex is currently valid or recognized in that state.
Prop 8 amends the California Constitution to specify that only marriage between a man a woman is valid or recognized in California.
Prop 8 seeks to define the institution of marriage. The outcome of this measure on the ballot will effect not only California but the entire country.

Unless Prop 8 passes, California society will soon undergo a profound change in its basic understanding of marriage and family life.
Marriage is sacred, ordained of God from before the foundation of the world. Marriage is not primarily a contract between individuals to ratify their affections and provide for mutual obligations. Rather marriage and family are vital instruments for rearing children and teaching them to become responsible adults.

"Tolerance obviously requires a non-contentious manner of relating toward one another's differences. But tolerance does not require abandoning one's standards or one's opinions on political or public choices. Tolerance is a way of reaching to diversity, not a command to insulate it from examination."
-Elder Dallin H Oaks
