I Support Proposition 8

My sister recently posted a link to a really great article about Proposition 8 (Thanks, AngelFish!). "Disagree But Don't Be Unkind" is written by Orson Scott Card and he is able to express a lot of my views so eloquently. I especially like what he says about tolerance - that it isn't an absence of disagreement - that is uniformity. Tolerance is disagreeing politely and still treating each other with respect and love.

I believe that "marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan..." (see "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"). My Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has issued a statement in support of Proposition 8, which I fully support.
