In favor or against - know the facts on Prop. 8

Lately most of the discussion on the propositions up for vote in the November ballot in California has centered on Prop 8 - a yes would amend the California constitution to redefine marriage as a union between a man and a woman only, a no would leave things the way they are.

Supporters and opposition are out there giving us all arguments why we should or should not support this proposition. Very few people are doing their homework.

Morris Thurston, of the Mormon church, wrote a very enlightening document rebutting what supporters of 8 see as the six consequences of prop 8 failing. I'm not Mormon, I'm Catholic - practicing and believing. And Morris Thurston, while he offers a rebuttal, doesn't offer or neglect support of the proposition. 

His point and mine - in this blog - is: whether you support it or not, understand the facts, research the issue, and make a decision based on that and your own beliefs/moral code. Don't just follow the herd in blind acceptance of "consequences" that do not apply to the issue. To understand what I mean, please read this document. Very well written, by the way.
