The churches official news press release about Proposition 8 and it's continued support to protect marriage as being between 1 man and 1 woman.

Voters in California, once again, are being overturned by a judge. An appeal is sure to follow. Neither on ANY side will be happy no matter HOW it settles but will it EVER settle?

As latter-day Saints, I would continue to admonish you to treat this subject with respect and support whatever side of the issue that you choose to; but that you DO so with respect one towards another. This was the message approved by the quorum of the 12 Apostles.

The debate is far from over. But the media isn't slanted ... oh no. Instead of saying, "Same Sex Couples are trying to under-mine the voters of California, they say "Same Sex Ban is overturned." And who is being dishonest here? Proposition 8 at no moment says this but it endeavors to 'define marriage as being between one man and one woman.' As if it needed to be defined in the first place. Our founding fathers couldn't have imagined up, in their wildest dreams, that this would ever be an issue. There was not a zealous group of gays back in the day waiting several decades to finally be heard. The adversary is raging and causing the hearts of men to rage in these final days. And oh how WELL Satan is carrying out this work! (See article below)
