From a recent No On Prop 8 ad:
It is “a drastic step to strip people of rights” – Los Angeles Times
Pushed by “out of state special interests have pumped in millions” – California Nurses AssociationA “major threat to basic Constitutional rights” – League of Women Voters
It is “an unnecessary initiative” – La Opinión
“No person should suffer discrimination” – League of Women Voters“California laws should treat everyone equally” – California Teachers Association
Regardless how you feel about marriage, it is wrong to treat people differently under the law.
What can you do?

There are many issues that I can see two sides of, but Prop 8 is not one of them. Simply, Prop 8 is about legislating beliefs. The idea that marriage is between a man and a woman is a widely contested ideological belief, based generally on religion and culture. Despite the fear-mongering, NOT LEGISLATING that belief (i.e., imposing your belief on everyone else), does NOT have any negative effects on society or individuals. Guess what? Prop 8 only has negative effects, and it only affects same-sex couples. Prop 8 has no positive effects. It protects no one, it helps no one. It's based on imaginary problems and fear. Vote NO. Don't legislate religious or cultural beliefs on anyone else.
I beg to disagree, underwood. The long term affects of not supporting Proposition 8 could be very great indeed. If homosexual marriage becomes legal, there will be negative ramifications for both children and adults, as well as society as a whole.
