If you've read our blog recently, you've probably noticed our little widget-guy over there--------> and even if you are not a Californian right now, this issue is a big one for all of us. I won't tell you what you should think, but it's a good time for all of us to be informed. Check out these links: (They're overwhelming in their entirety but good places to get started.)
My friend Leah has an amazing blog where a lot of her posts lately have been devoted to this issue, and she has some well-thought-out opinions. You've gotta scroll through her blog to see some of her past posts, too. I was talking with Amanda, another friend of mine who lives in California, about her experiences lately with Prop 8, and she says it's been pretty crazy out there. I won't go into details, but there are a lot of similarities in CA to what has been going on in Massachusetts, where gay marriage has also been legalized.
Read the links. It's a hot issue. But be careful: a lot of the info is pretty sickening.
And here's another one worth paying attention to: it's a BYU devotional address given by Boyd K. Packer in March of 1992, entitled "The Fountain of Life." I saw it on tv the other day and was refreshed by the pure doctrine available to us. It is only available to listen to, though. (No written transcripts.)
