The Mormon Church has poured $20 million into the fight for Prop 8 in California. Prop 8 would make marriage equality, already a fact in California, unconsitutional.
You may not live in California and think this doesn't affect you, but you're wrong. I have four friends who just returned from California. They were married there. You may have friends who have married in California or would like to. And other jurisdictions are watching -- the DC City Council will likely introduce a bill to enact marriage equality in the District of Columbia IF it is not voted unconstitutional in California (if Prop 8 passes).
If you know people who live in California, email or call them. If you live in California vote NO. And write Gov. Schwartzenegger (who opposes prop 8) and ask him to speak out publicly.
Go here to find out what you can do. Polls say that it is very close.
And if you want to know what the other side is saying, listen to this. You won't be surprised.

Well.... OK. As long as you're not out recruiting our kids.
There is only one way to end this dispute. Marriage must be de-legalized. Marriage is a religious freedom, not a legal right, and it must be handled solely by the church. Legal partnerships for child raising must be completely transparent, and however anyone might regret, it must be completely equal.
