The effort to characterize a Yes vote on California's Proposition No. 8 as chilling discrimination against a group of people, fails to consider the even more chilling discrimination a Yes vote offers against another group of people -- the children. Their need to grow up in a father/mother, two-parent home, and the overwhelming evidence that children need this nurturing stability, is being set aside in the interest of the wants and desires of the adults.
Children are not in the position to vote, nor do they have the life maturity to speak for their own best interests. But the statistics speak on their behalf.
We cannot afford to play social games with future generations of children by redefining family according to the desires of our present generation of adults. This decision to redefine family does not just affect the adults.
Present efforts in California to characterize the Marriage Vote as hating homosexuals is unfair and untrue. The Yes Vote on Marriage is an effort to protect this and future generations of children.
