A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

alphabassettgrrl · 10-27-2008, 06:20 PM

I wasn't able to get a "no on 8" yard sign because too many people already wanted them and they ran out. They hope to get some in soon.

I talked to our bus driver on the trip home (just a few minutes) and his question was about churches- that they'd have to change. No, churches (as far as I've seen) still get to choose who they marry. I didn't ask which way he was voting (if I take the bus again, maybe I will) but at least he's voting.

Minor. I know. I gave all the corner "yes" supporters the thumbs down over the weekend. I doubt they saw it but I can't pass and do nothing.

I like to give two specific examples: the Catholic church (most will not allow you to marry in the church unless you are Catholic) and the LDS church. According to the latter, one is not "truly" married unless you are married in THE Temple in SLC (I don't know the official name). And, unless you are an LDS, you aren't even allowed to ATTEND (to witness) a marriage in that Temple.

Yeah. That.

When you can specifics, it always makes the argument stronger.

Well, almost always...
