Issues of the Day  1. Proposition 8 – Gay Marriage There was an
article in the Wall Street journal about a “black list” of
businesses that gay people were protesting due to their support
of Proposition 8. It seems like these are extremists and such
extremism isn’t really supported by the community. The article
told the story of a Mormon woman who although she employed quite
a few gay people in her restaurant had supported Proposition 8.
As her establishment was being protested she thought it a good
idea to offer an apology but could not renounce her belief and
thus was shouted at. It’s good to hear however, that most of the
gay population does not support this type of behavior and she is
absolutely within her right to vote according to her beliefs. I
myself voted No on Proposition 8 (Gays have the right to marry =
No vote) and it got me thinking about how we define marriage? I
am still unclear on the answer. Marriage is a traditional custom
that transcends culture and is a custom found in almost every
society
