Since my last blog, I've found out more information about the Proposition 8. I'm not sure how true it is, since I heard it from a friend, but she told me that if Prop 8 fails and gay marriages are allowed in California, that the LDS religion will basically have to disallow temple marriages for their members. They will have to do this, because it would be considered unfair to not allow non-LDS members to get married in the temple. So anyone who is LDS in California, will have to go to another state in order to get married in an LDS temple. This whole thing just angers me. In my opinion, this is no different than it already is. Currently, you have to be LDS to even get married in the temple, even if you're a straight couple. In order to have a temple marriage, a couple has to be considered worthy to do so, and that may require that they have to do certain things to become worthy if you will. This should apply to a gay couple as well. If you're not LDS, which a gay couple wouldn't be, you shouldn't be allowed to marry in an LDS temple. It's just plain common sense!
I would hope that a gay couple wouldn't want to have their marriage in an LDS temple, especially if it's just because they can, but I guess there are some people like that out there.
