Baking for Marriage...
For those of you that don't know... same-sex marriages are legal here in California (Massachusettes too). In 2000 Proposition 22 defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. That became redefined last May legalizing same-sex marriages in CA and now a new proposal to reinstate the former definition is up for votes called Proposition 8. It has been interesting to see how this legislation has impacted my school, community, and especially my church. This weekend we are having a bake sale to raise money for the Proposition 8 initiative. I have a lot of friends who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual and I love and respect them. I feel an obligation however to uphold something I feel so strongly about...marriage always has been and should be between a man and a woman. People want to make this issue strictly political and remove God and morals but let's be honest...society has no right or authority to define something instituted by God nor do I feel comfortable allowing "society" to define the morals that our country lives by. Vote yes for Proposition 8.

I was just talking to my sister who told me that the stake presidency wants members to go out and knock on doors to get people o go out and vote...even if it is against our beliefs...people need to stand up for what they feel so strongly about. I enjoyed reading your blog tonight...you are awesome!!!! You are amazing! And I love you.

Just a heads up: Mike Huckabee recently gave an interview in which he holds Mitt Romney responsible for implementing gay marriage in Massachusetts.

Welcome to the ProtectMarriage.com coalition.
I wish that more rank and file members of the LDS (Mormon) church would realize: the anti-gay coalition they've joined in California is one that includes folks who - given the chance - would vote their church out of existence.
Folks like Mike Huckabee and his Evangelical buddies.
Hey...why yes my brother is on facebook finally.
