For any California readers (and any others interested), I began a new blog in defense of traditional marriage in the lead up to the November ballot. As a citizen of California I want to help persuade people to vote for the constitutional amendment to defend traditional marriage.

God Bless Tony Snow & His Family
Gay couples are capable of raising a non conventional family. Gay couples can also love their non conventional families. The government isn’t and shouldn’t help them or encourage them to do so. If they want to start a family and have the means to do so, that’s great. The government isn’t going to and should never encourage it with marriage benefits.
The benefits derived from marriage are supposed to help a man and a woman naturally raise and love a family. The government should encourage natural marriage with benefits. The government should discourage gay marriage cause it isn’t natural. Not saying gays can’t marry or spend a lifetime together. They just shouldn’t get the same benefits as a natural relationship.
The next institution that movement will target are religious ones. It will be an effort to force clergy to perform their “marriage” ceremonies in the name of God. Certainly they will get the courts involved, and there seem to be plenty of judges willing and ready to restructure society whether it’s against the will of the majority or not.
This is a big issue for my Church (LDS). We cannot and will not ever support same sex marriage. It goes against the doctrine of our Church and they are not going to change it. This also eliminates any same-sex married couples from becoming members of our Church or going to our Temples. You can be homosexual in our Church, but you cannot be active in your homosexuality. The Bible is very clear on homosexuality.
The homosexual activists are already attacking religions world wide. Many have fallen to their pressure. They will not give up until all do.
I don’t know what our Church will do if the courts ORDER them to accept same sex married couples. I dred the day that this happens because it will destroy our Church.
As a quick followup since I forgot to add it to the post I submitted..
Here is what our Church believes about Family.
This proclamation was sent out on Sept 23, 1995 and it is called “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”
