Now What?

Prop 8 passed, but it's hardly a time to celebrate. Yes, for the time being marriage is only between a man and a woman, but here's California stands:

- The state is divided nearly 50/50 about this issue. Yes on 8 won by a slim margin (by about only 4%).

- What does California do with all the couples who were legally married? Does California recognize those marriages or take them away?

- In 2000, CA voters voted that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. In 2008, CA judges overruled that vote and instituted that same was legal...so there is a precedent which could overturn prop 8.

This is a really tough situation on both sides. As a proponent of prop 8, first and foremost, I have uphold my principles and beliefs. I can't compromise that. However I don't want to make it look like I hate homosexuals...Although I disagree with their lifestyle, I do realize that there are heterosexual people out there who do a lot worse things.

My argument in favor of prop 8 is that it is perverts God's design for man and woman in regards to marriage. However, there are probably more cases where heterosexuals have perverted God's plan through rape, sexual abuse, incest, and fornication.

My guess now is that prop 8 will at some point in time be reversed. More and more people are starting to sway their position. But if you look at how society has declined over time, this should really come as no surprise.

If 8 is taken away, at least we can say that the majority of California wants to honor marriage as 1 man and 1 woman. If that is taken away, it's the government who will look bad.
