California Bans Gay Marriage
The Presidential election was not the only clear political signal on Tuesday. California has passed the controversial Proposition 8 denying same-sex couples the right to marry. Perhaps it was not so controversial after all.
Florida and Arizona also got in on the movement and defined marriage as between a man and a woman. It appears that same-sex couples that wed after a recent judges ruling will have their unions annulled.
Measures on the ballot designed to limit abortions were uniformly defeated. the Colorado initiative was crushed. Arkansas passed a ban on gay couples adopting children and the Colorado proposal to end Affirmative Action seems a dead heat the morning after while it passes handily in Nebraska. Medical marijuana will be arriving in Michigan.

Prop 8 won in California because it’s supporters lied through their teeth the whole campaign.
So, how *does* it feel to be pure evil?
As a Christian, I recognize pure evil comes from only one place. Thankfully, the Lord Jesus has removed it from me.
I wonder if their isn’t the tiniest possibility that the majority of people believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Just a thought.
I’m confused … a vote ‘for’ Prop 8 meant you supported the ban on gay marriage?
And thanks for visiting my blog!
As I understand it, Prop 8 was a constitutional amendment for California. It defined marriage between a man and a woman. So, a vote for Prop 8 was a vote against Gay marriage.
I live in NM and try to report on topics important to Christians and churches. However, I did not follow the specifics of this amendment carefully.
