From my understanding, the People of California voted to ban gay marriage in the state. The California Supreme Court some time after that rejected the people and ruled gay marriage is legal.
With that in mind, this is our opportunity to remind the California Supreme Court that the constitution still begins with “We The People…..”
"Marriage is sacred, ordained of God from before the foundation of the world."
"Only a man and a woman together have the natural biological capacity to conceive children. This power of procreation – to create life and bring God’s spirit children into the world – is sacred and precious. Misuse of this power undermines the institution of the family and thereby weakens the social fabric. The United Nations stated in 1948, "Strong families serve as the fundamental institution for transmitting to future generations the moral strengths, traditions, and values that sustain civilization. As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms, “The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society.”
If the proposition fails, children in public schools will be taught that same sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage. The California Education code (51890) already requires that children be taught about marriage.
Churches may be sued over their tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings open to the public.
Church Leaders or Ministers who preach against same-sex marriage may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines.
These are not far fetched possibilities. We need to stand together and help to protect same-sex marriage. It is the right thing to do.
