State Seal of California

Proposition 8 stands. The California Supreme Court has generously allowed the voters to protect marriage’s definition in the state. That makes two weeks in a row of good news for marriage.

The court insists, though, that the state’s 18,000 new homosexual “marriages” since last spring also stand.

Marriage activists were expecting this decision, Peter Wolfgang of the Family Institute of... READ MORE

Some very positive news on the marriage front: California’s Supreme Court appears poised to uphold Proposition 8, the state ballot measure that defined marriage as a one-man, one-woman institution.

That’s the assessment of this article in the San Jose Mercury News. It reported that the justices hearing the case appear highly disinclined to accept the arguments of the lawyers representing... READ MORE

Here’s another battlefield report from the marriage “wars.”

According to an analysis undertaken by NPR, public school teachers, aides and counselors supported California’s Proposition 8 by a 2-1 margin, in terms of total donations.

In other words, teachers — the folks who every day dedicate their professional lives to improving the welfare of children, whose interests are so often... READ MORE

An online petition has been posted here where individuals can express solidarity and thanks to the Mormon Church for strongly supporting California’s Proposition 8.

The ballot initiative was approved by California voters Nov. 4, thereby amending the state constitution to define marriage as a one-man, one-woman institution.

Since the initiative was passed this month, homosexual activists have... READ MORE

This video was brought to the Daily Blog’s attention by Envoy publisher Patrick Madrid, who posted it today on his personal blog.

It demonstrates yet again the propensity for violence and rage being displayed by homosexual activists in the wake of passage of California’s Proposition 8, which amended the state constitution to define marriage as a one-man, one-woman institution.

It’s not exactly news that homosexual activists aren’t great believers in direct democracy.

Since they have had notably little success in persuading American legislatures to grant legal recognition to same-sex “marriage,” the limited gains the homosexual lobby has made have come exclusively by way of sympathetic judges.

So it comes as no surprise that the losing side in California’s... READ MORE

(AFP)

Evangelical pastor Rick Warren has declared his support for California’s Proposition 8.

Proposition 8 seeks to amend California’s state constitution to define marriage as between only one man and one woman, invalidating last spring’s Supreme Court of California decision that legalized same-sex “marriages.”

Warren, the pastor of California’s Saddleback mega-church and author of the... READ MORE
