We Won! You Lost! Get Over It!

Civil rights groups moved quickly today to challenge Proposition 8, asking the California Supreme Court to strike down the latest attempt to ban same-sex marriage across the state.
While refusing to concede that the ballot measure has passed, gay marriage supporters nevertheless filed a petition with the state's high court in the event the current vote holds and Proposition 8 amends the California constitution to once again outlaw marriage for gay and lesbian couples.
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera also filed an identical legal challenge in the state Supreme Court, joined by Santa Clara County and the Los Angeles city attorney. San Francisco city officials, who pushed to overturn California's gay marriage laws in the previous court fight, argue that Proposition 8 violates the equal protection rights of gay and lesbian couples.

From Ron Prentice, Chairman of ProtectMarriage.com – Yes on 8

The Yes on Proposition 8 campaign has been the single largest, most powerful grassroots movement in the history of American ballot initiative campaigns. We raised approximately $40 million from over 70,000 individual contributors. We recruited the active support of over 100,000 volunteers who gave tirelessly of their time and energies to our cause. We could not have won without them! These dedicated volunteers have visited millions of homes, made millions of phone calls, distributed over one million yard signs and displayed one million bumper strips. The silent majority is alive and well in California.
Proposition 8 has always been about restoring the traditional definition of marriage. It doesn’t discriminate or take rights away from anyone. Gay and lesbian domestic partnerships will continue to enjoy the same legal rights as married spouses. Our coalition has no plans to seek any changes in that law.
While it will take a few weeks to finish counting all the votes, Proposition 8 takes effect at midnight tonight. Just as it was before the Supreme Court’s ruling, only marriage between a man and a woman will be valid or recognized in California, regardless of when or where performed.
This has been a hard-fought campaign on both sides. Now that the people of California have decided this issue, we hope there can be a healing among all and a continued respect for the diverse views that have been expressed during this campaign.
California’s vote in favor of traditional marriage should give the silent majority comfort that they do have a voice and can and should stand up for this precious institution in legislatures throughout the world.
Marriage is between a man and a woman.

AMEN!

GO VIRAL with "YES on Prop 8!"

In a human chain 450 strong that stretched from the 79 exit almost to Pechanga Parkway, we stood waving "Yes on Prop 8" signs. We were making a stand in support of Traditional Marriage! It was a truly amazing experience! People driving past honked and waved in support. The children danced and shouted, "Vote Yes!" as the cars drove by.
Motorists called out for more information and we threw 'Yes' stickers through their open windows as they stopped at a red light.
Neighbours were climbing over their wall to join us with their homemade "Yes on 8" signs!

Members from each ward gathered at arterial routes close to their own church building. There must have been thousands of us out yesterday!

PLEASE READ THIS no matter what state you live in. Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt children. If gay marriage remains legal, public schools will put it on equal footing with traditional marriage. Children will likely receive “age appropriate” information about sexual relations within heterosexual and homosexual marriages. Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt ALL churches. The court’s decision will inevitably lead to conflicts with religious liberty and free speech rights. Society will become more and more hostile to traditional beliefs about marriage and family. Over time, greater acceptance of non-traditional marriage will be demanded of all people. This could impact the ability of any religion to teach and practice its beliefs. Including adoption agencies. These things ARE happening where gay marriage is legal.











Google Sides With Gomorrah

I just read that Google has made an official stand in opposition to Proposition 8. I am so disgusted! I'm ready to quit Blogger and go to Yahoo. California law already grants domestic partners all the rights that a state can grant to a married couple. Gays have a right to their private lives, but not to change the definition of marriage.
Voting 'YES' on Proposition 8 does three simple things:
* Restores the definition of marriage to what the vast majority of California voters already approved and what Californians agree should be supported, not undermined.
* Overturns the outrageous decision of four activist Supreme Court judges who ignored the will of the people.
* Protects our children from being taught in public schools that "same-sex marriage" is the same as traditional marriage.
