Proposition 8

http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/the-divine-institution-of-marriage

Since Proposition 8 has been an extremely heated subject amongst many lately, I feel (after much thought and contemplation) that it is my duty to share this article with all of you. Please know that this is in no way an attempt to undermine anybody and/or their beliefs, or to offend, it is simply what the LDS church states about this proposition and same-sex marriage in general, and so is what I believe to be true. I found this article because I wanted to get a clearer view on exactly what the church says about this subject. I sought to educate myself, and found this article to be extremely insightful and upfront. It is pretty long, but so worth reading because of the knowledge it brings on how the church stands and why. If there was ever any doubt in your mind on how the church feels about this, or if you're like me and just want a little more knowledge on the subject, or if you keep asking yourself why the LDS church cares so much, you need to read this!

Wow Melissa, thank you!!! As I read this article you referred to, I was educated, and my beliefs were supported by clear and proven facts. How much clearer could the case for traditional family be? This was an amazing article and I was stunned several times when I read some of the consequences if this proposition would have failed.
Thank you for your research that brought you to this article. My beliefs were not only upheld, but truly strengthened! I wish all would read it.
