Introduction

My main purpose for this blog is to educate those that are undecided on Prop 8. I support Prop 8 and will present my case for the proposition, but I will also post counter arguments along with my response to those arguments. In fact, I would encourage everyone to visit websites against Prop 8 as long as you also visit sites for Prop 8 to get the whole picture.

I want to make it clear that I do not hate or discriminate anyone. Those that know me will realize this. We can love and tolerate PEOPLE without tolerating what they DO. I will be posting both my secular and religious views on this topic. I will post my religious views separately because I realize that for many, they will not provide a solid impact on their view of Prop 8. I will still share these views for readers to take as they will because they have brought such real, lasting joy to my life.

I encourage anyone who reads what I write over the next few weeks to invite others to read these blogs and to write comments. If you do so, please be respectful and aware that those that support as well as those that oppose Prop 8 will be reading this blog. If you post a comment to counter a previous comment, do so to give other readers your perspective. You are probably not going to change the mind of the person you are writing a counter argument against.

Ultimately, I believe that many of our desires are very similar. We desire love and respect for others, and we want what'ss best for society, we just have different opinions as to how this is to be done. We can debate and disagree with maturity and respect. I hope that we will ALL vote no matter what our position is. Let us celebrate our freedom to MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD without fear of punishment. I used to "not want to be involved" in politics until I realized that I'm involved no matter what! If I don't vote, I fell I'm doing a great disservice to those who gave their lives for US to have that right. I vote to show my gratitude to those people. I vote because I CAN!
