Thoughts on the Proposition 8
If bothers me to see that its supporters are defaming our temple in Los Angeles. I was an activist, I know how ugly protests can get. The temple may not be special to them, but it is to us.
Marriage is sacred. I have my beliefs about marriage and how it should be done. But I am also pro-choice. I believe that people who do not share my religious beliefs should have the choice who to marry. We do not have the right to impose our moral standards on everyone. If I were there, I would probably have voted no and respected those who voted yes.
But the people of California have spoken, and majority said yes. They want same-sex marriage to be banned. I respect the will of the majority. That’s how things work in a democracy.
Many people seem to believe that the human right is boundless. It is not. Our rights end where the rights of another person begins. Simply put, we can swing our arms however we like, as long as we don’t hit anybody. Is it so hard to do that?
