The Consequences...

Update: First Grade Field Trip to a Gay Wedding
The same week that the No on 8 campaign launched an ad stating that same-sex marriage would be taught in schools, a first grade class took a school sponsored trip to a gay wedding. Eighteen first graders (ages 5 and 6) traveled to San Francisco’s City Hall for the wedding of their teacher and her lesbian partner.
The wedding was officiated by San Francisco Mayer Gavin Newsom, who arrogantly reported that “The door’s wide open now. It’s going to happen whether you like it or not.”

Six Consequences if Proposition 8 Fails

1. 
   
   Children in public schools will have to be taught, by law, that same-sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage. The California Education Code requires that health education classes teach children about marriage. Unless Prop 8 passes, children will be taught that marriage is between any two adults, regardless of gender.


2. 
   
   Pastors, priests, ministers, bishops, rabbis and other clergymen will be forced by law to perform same-sex marriages. Churches may be sued over their tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings.


3. 
   
   Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their right to only place children in homes with both a mother and father. Catholic churches in Boston, Massachusetts have already been forced to shut down their adoption agencies because of legalized same-sex marriage.


4. 
   
   Religions that sponsor private schools with married student housing may be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if counter to church doctrine.


5. 
   
   Ministers who preach against same-sex marriage may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines, this has already been seen in Canada. A recent California court stated that municipal employees may not use phrases such as "traditional marriage" or "family values" because it is a form of hate speech.


6. 
   
   It will cost us all money. The change in the definition of marriage will bring a myriad of lawsuits. Some lawsuits that have already been lost are photographers cannot refuse to photograph gay marriages and doctors cannot refuse to perform artificial insemination of gays.

Think of all the many consequences that have yet to surface...

Lets work together to fight against those consequences and fight for marriage, family, and our liberties.
