We just got word yesterday in church that they are looking for volunteers to call families in California to remind them to vote and to vote in favor of this proposition. I thought it was so interesting that they would seek outside help, but don't worry. I put my name on the list of callers. Solidarity folks. <BR/><BR/>Another thing, I learned yesterday that in Mass., where this has already passed, schools are teaching same-sex marriage as part of the curriculum without parent consent. They just teach it, just like they do algebra, or life science. Scary! No one knows the ramifications of this bill if it fails. Yikes.<BR/><BR/>We've got to protect the sanctity of marriage. It seems that so many in the world have left marriage by the wayside, and look at the effects on children. Protect marriage!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603597517131769123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651110500363613502.post-9743740505424828452008-10-13T07:32:00.000-07:002008-10-13T07:32:00.000-07:00ohhhh Rachel.

I live in a busy area. I already have peopling telling us that it is awful for us to be supporting it and that in their opinion Jesus loves everybody. I did not want to get into an argument over it, but i feel bad that they see it that way.

It's difficult for me also because I have friends who are gay. It's easy to quietly live my faith and religion, but when Prophets and Apostles ask you to get out there and actually DO something, well, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Bravo my friend and sister. I also prefer sticking to funner, lighter things...but this is a meatier issue that just needs to be addressed. You did well.

I have been feeling a little guilty because I am on facebook and a lot of my friends (not close friends, but people I used to work with) are gay and have created groups to vote "no" on prop 8, and I have not made any comments to them on my opinion (even though I can't vote on it). I completely agree with you that you worry about offending people that you love. I thought your post was very well put.
