Grass Roots Opportunities - California Proposition 8
David October 15th, 2008
It is amazing to see how technology has changed how we communicate beyond our immediate friends and family in just the last few years. Now whole movements can be launched and efforts coordinated between people who haven’t ever met in person. The Gay Marriage proposition in California (Prop 8) has really sparked a lot of emotion both by those for and those against it, to the point where the millions of us outside the state of California are learning more about the issue and how it might affect us locally. (Yes, don’t think that because you live outside of California that it can’t affect you!)
Even if you don’t agree with the proposition or understand the issue, here are a few good sites that will help you learn more about what is at stake and what you can do about it:
Opposing freedom is intolerant.
@Mariel
Like so many who are against Prop 8, you suggest that those who support it oppose freedom and are intolerant. This view is so one sided when it suits your purposes. The freedoms and desires of the majority were trampled by four independent judges when the current law was overturned. This view is being enforced by the entire judicial system to the point where religious freedoms have been lost by many who were willing to stand by their convictions. Where is the tolerance for religious freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution?
I agree with David.
Why do should society be forced to lower standards to accommodated
those who want to engage in immoral behaviours.
