I have been discouraged lately about the negativity with all of the campaigning and especially as we fight to pass Prop 8. Those who oppose Prop 8 seem so vicious in their attacks and I am so tired of the civil rights argument. Same sex couples who engage in domestic partnershp have all the same "civil rights" as those who couples who are married under the CA state family code.
Then why do we care so much. We are seeking to protect the divine institution of marriage. We believe that marriage is sacred and is ordained of God even before we came here to earth. We believe in plan of happiness that allows us to return to live with our Heavenly Father. The family is central to this plan. And children are entitled to be born into a home with a father and a mother who honor these sacred vows. Gender is essential and divine.
Same sex attraction is acted on as a behavior. We feel those brothers and sisters who fight these impulses but it is a behavior not a condition. And why do those who choose an alternative lifetstyle define their identity in such a limited way.
Anyway I have been impressed that throughout this fight and yes it is a fight we can still reach out to others in respect and love. Not tolerance by condoning lifestyles or teachings that we believe go against the sacred plan of our Eternal Father but in love and understanding while remaining firm in our faith and resolve to defend the sacred institution of marriage and this is why I am blogging so much about Prop 8. Protect marriage and our children!
