Hey, it was bound to come up in this blog right? Hahahaha!
So Proposition 8, in a nutshell is, quite frankly, one of those perfect examples why I think “religion” has no place in government policy. Lets be honest here, is there anything else that would make this sort of non-issue an issue? That shit is rooted in religious views no matter how you slice it. But again, I don’t say that religion should mind its own business because of it being “wrong” or “right” – but more of because religion is bound to give rise to conflict in any pluralistic society.
Proposition 8, taken from an article:
…aims to end same-sex marriage in California by amending the constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
While there certainly are nuances with regards to my stand on this, I’m interpreting “marriage” in this article in a “legal” context. If you can’t find the time to delineate the two, then that’s really not my problem. All the same, I’m going into “legal-union” (i.e. not sacrament) mode as far as this post goes.
