Mormons and Gay Marriage

For decades the Mormon church has been fighting against gay marriage. The Mormons continuously say that they are for protecting the sanctity of marriage and they believe that marriage should be defined as only between a man and a woman. Mormons have been fighting for the passing of Proposition 8 in California and it has been reported that 75 percent of the funding for Proposition 8 has come from the Church of Latter- Day Saints. Those against the Church's decision have argued that the Mormons should be understanding of gay marriage because of their polygamist past and I too believe this. I am a really big advocate for same- sex marriage. I feel like Proposition 8 is taking away rights and basically not treating everyone equally. For the Mormon church to do this seems very wrong to me. A great video about gay marriage and Proposition 8 is called "8- The Mormon Proposition", a link for the trailer can be found on youtube.

I am hoping that one day gay marriage in California will be up for vote again and I am hoping that when that time comes the Mormon church will stay out of the way. Honestly, I think that Proposition 8 is a violation to human rights.
