Prop 8

Alright let me tell you a little bit about what I think on this. First of all people saying that temples will close if Prop 8 doesn't pass is completely false.
In this country we have a little thing called RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. Temples and LDS owned land in California may lose some tax benefits at the very most, but no religion is required to recognize same-sex marriage as moral and will NEVER be required to marry them as long as our U.S. Constitution remains intact.
Next lie, children will be required to learn about same-sex marriage and will be told that it is equal to traditional marriage.
No child is ever required to learn things regarding health or family life in California. If it is going to be taught parents have the right to pull their child from that class. It may be taught, but only going as far as to say the financial consequences and responsibilities of being married.
I for one would vote NO on Prop 8, even though The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints supports it. I feel that marriage should be available to everyone. If we take individual freedoms away just because of someone's sexual orientation, what will be taken away next?
