It is not a good example for children. If makes them believe that this is normal, but its not. It starts thing like harassing because they have somebody or know that is gay. It causes the child to be a criminal. It’s not healthy, and it’s dangerous to themselves or people around them.

Thanks are to God.

This commercial, while a dramatization, is dead on CORRECT. The Mormon Church, and soon to be, not my Church any longer, has NO place in this debate, and shouldn’t be dictating from Utah what’s happening for California voters. Its about time someone came out with a commercial PERSONALLY identifiying the Mormon Church as the driving force behind this destructive measure. God taught us to love everyone… not love some, and treat others with hate… as well as why would a religion, that was driven out of Illinois and Missouri by those who would not tolerate us (as Mormons), participate in such a blatant way to divide people in such a way. If the Mormon Church believes, as it does, in one man and one woman marriage, then don’t worry… the temples won’t be invaded by same-sex couples. The Church has NO right to be involved… although its members, as INDIVIDUALS obviously can, as we are all INDEPENDENT or should be independent voters no matters what the Church states. The Church is not a voter, and therefore has no right, and no purpose in involving itself once again in a campaign of hate, lies, and mistruths. If only this commercial had played on mainstream network television… I couldn’t have been happier if it had… but sadly it did not, at least in my network market. This is a shameful proposition to begin with… let everyone live and love as they wish… be respectful one one another’s FREE AGENCY to do as they wish, to love as they wish. If one man loves another man, or one woman loves another woman, let them marry. How does that threaten the Church or your marriage? It doesn’t! That’s the point. I am glad for one, that the Church has finally taken such a stupid stance, that I now can leave the Mormon Church with grace and dignity and not be a associated with hate any longer. While I have never hated, my association with the Church as caused me to be lumped in with a bunch of nut cases. Not all Mormon’s (and actually a large part do not, obviously not the majority) believe in the “live, let live” thinking and that everyone should have the right to do as they please without undue influence from their religion and that religion plays NO part, or should play NO part in this debate. The “Yes on 8″ campaign is shameful and should bury their heads… stating children would be taught homosexuality in the schools? Don’t you parents know what your children are taught? I do… and they surely aren’t taught anything about relationships or sex with your WRITTEN permission in the State of California. I found the “No on 8″ campaign commercials and its people to be, in the majority, not all, to be respectful, kind, and considerate… and DEFINITELY had accurate commercials. It is unfair and it is wrong to deny those who love one another not to marry. What a sad sad day… that we divide the people of our state by adding to the STATE CONSTITUTION something that we BAN, versus a right we give. The first time in California history where we have just added to the constitution something that blocks or takes away a right from an individual based upon stupidity, ignorance, intolerance, and mostly just plain biased-based propoganda from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A Mormon no more I say. Its just disgraceful that there is no longer a separation of Church and State… and the involvement religion will go to not only support a proposition but pay a LARGE part in a proposition’s defeat to disallow what is already law. Whether you agree with the California Supreme Court or not, we did violate the equal protection clause… and now we just solidified it into the CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA that there is no longer a “equal protection clause” and that discrimination now rules the roost. How sad is that??? Well, at least there is one thing good about this… it exposed THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS for what it is: filled with hate, intolerance, ignorance… and has the ability to BUY an election… oh, that’s not ONE election but now TWO… Proposition 22 in 2000 and Proposition 8 in 2008. Hopefully someone or some organization will sue to strip the Church of its non-profit status… as it should, or file whatever necessary complaint there is to be filed with the IRS as they are the designating power. I for one will submit my videotape of a Sunday Sacrament Meeting where the “Yes on Proposition 8″ was specifically referenced (not metophorically) and members were encouraged not to vote, but to vote “Yes on Proposition 8″ and again repeatedly referenced the Proclamation on the Family the Church put out a few years ago. That’s called preaching from the pulpit on secular issues, elective issues, propositional issues, that the Church needs to have its non-profit status removed. I for one can’t wait for that chicken to come home and roost. I will revel in that day for sure.

Never in my life has the last 5 words of the Pledge of Allegiance meant more
and been closer to the truth.

This evening is an evening that will be remembered like only a few other
days in our history.

McCain’s speech tonight showed him to be the true statesman and American
hero that he is. I do feel sorry that he lost, but the time has come to show
that America really is reaching equality of opportunity.

We have seen the beginning of a new age. An election of the people achieved
in large part by the people via grassroots organization and even the
internet.
