Good for them in being pro-active. One of the things I admire the most about LDS is how they are rarely silent on any issue and they seem to practice what they preach. Now while I happen to not think Prop 8 is bad and I support people's desires to do as they please, I do defend other's rights to speak out on it and to assert their own beliefs. I don't think shouting people down by name calling and slandering them is the best environment for free expression and complete exchange of ideas.
I did find this Fact vs. Fiction site on Prop 8 which did eliminate a lot of things I had been wrongly told about the prop. I had been told churches would lose tax exempt statis for rejecting gays but it appears churches will not have to change. I am against anything that forces the beliefs of others on people. On the surface it looks OK to me.
I'm confused. So, you think that Prop. 8 is OK, but you don't think forcing the beliefs of some onto others is OK? Do you understand what Prop 8 is?
Prop. 8 attempts to change the legal definition of marriage to only be between one man and one woman in a specific effort to disallow same-sex marriages. In other words, it's a blatant attempt by one group to force their belief on everyone else. That is why your statements seem completely contradictory to me.
