The latter example is Attorney General Jerry Brown's decision to change Prop 8's original ballot title from "Amends the California Constitution to provide that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." to "Changes California Constitution to eliminate right of same-sex couples to marry. Provides that only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Fiscal Impact: Over the next few years, potential revenue loss, mainly sales taxes, totaling in the several tens of millions of dollars, to state and local governments. In the long run, likely little fiscal impact to state and local governments."
Talk about bias and blatant efforts to mislead voters.
For one there is no right to homosexual marriage. Marriage is rooted in the created order, in our nature. As the founder's said in the Declaration of Independence, our Creator endows us with rights not the judiciary or legislature.
And the assertion that the fiscal impact of not allowing homosexual marriage means losing tens of millions of dollars is totally unsubstantiated. The opposite is more likely true if people are less likely to visit California, because they sanction homosexual marriage, or people and businesses start leaving the state because of the presence of homosexual marriage.
If the Prop 8 title description isn't reversed then pro-marriage amendment advocates will just have to redouble their efforts. Much more is at stake than simply allowing a few homosexual couples to say they are married. The moral and social welfare of California is at stake.

Militant, anti gay agenda will stop at nothing to continue their unconstitutional, hate, slander and criminal ways to attack anyone that wants to committ to love and marriage, in any form that does not exactly fit to their box and label.
My Neighbor just came home from spinal injury because of a gay hate crime.
They quoted from their bible, as he was beaten. A 55 year old man, who has been with the same partner for 25 years. Their daughter in college, and getting married to a very nice man next month, and her father might not be able to walk her down the ails because of discrimination, abuse, all in the name of Jesus.
I will pray for your souls. For I know the real God, and the real light, for ones actions, and behavior is what will be judged, not a white man's rule of what they think things should be.
The moral bankrupt is creating right here.
faith base politics which is directly against the constitution, with the extreme religious right is what will stop at nothing.
signed, a real conservative. One that will allow for others to do what they want as long as I am not oppressed to do the same!
Now it all makes sense - Christians are worried about gay marriage and non-marriage because it is having a direct effect on their numbers. Fewer marriage = lower church attendance = lower revenues.
This was never about preserving MARRIAGE, it was about preserving their very churches.
