I came across a pretty awesome set of YouTube videos today. Mimicking the style of the famous Apple commercials featuring a "Mac" and a "PC," these videos encourage people to vote No on Prop 8 in a common sense, reasonable, and funny way. They're worth a watch.
I just want to remind everyone that recent polls have Prop 8 winning in California. Prop 8 would take away same-sex couples' right to marry and write discrimination into the California state constitution.
I know this is a tough issue for Mormons that might feel torn on the issue. Unfortunately, there is a growing sense that Prop 8 is a Mormon-funded, Mormon-backed effort. This is unfortunate. Mormons have a variety of political affiliations and beliefs. Many have gay friends or loved ones. I think there are real reasons for Mormons (or anyone, for that matter) to hesitate before pulling the lever for Prop 8 or donating to the Yes on 8 campaign. Here are a couple resources:
Mormons for Marriage
How has the Yes on 8 campaign affected Mormons?
Again, I plead with those who support same-sex marriage and believe that individuals should have the right to marry the person they love to support the No on 8 campaign. It's critical that we stick up for gay and lesbian couples that want to enjoy the benefits of marriage and who want to work through the struggles of marriage.
I think this pretty much sums it up:

I'm a CHRISTIAN and I'm voting NO on 8.
Why?
Because it seems that all the funding has come from false Christian groups like ROMAN CATHOLICS and "MORMONS" both of whom are idolaters (worshiping Men, Mary, beads, little statues of saints, etc).
IDOLATRY is a worse sin. Voting yes on 8 supports idolatry.
