Seventh Day Adventists against Proposition 8




Adventists Against Prop 8″ is an initiative started by a group of Adventist pastors, teachers and students in California who decided, out of their commitment to the historic Adventist principle of the separation of church and state, to voice their concerns about (1) the Seventh-day Adventist Church State Councils public support of California Proposition 8, the proposition that would amend the state constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry, and (2) the imposition of a fundamentally religious definition of marriage that this Proposition represents. Hundreds of Adventists from a broad range of backgrounds have joined this cause and signed a public petition asking the Church State Council to rescind its support of the proposition.

Good for them. Its nice to see a Christian group advocating the rights of individuals to live how they see fit.

I am glad this isn't an issue over here.

I didn't know people could legally enter same sex marriage in the UK! I thought it just did "civil partnerships" or somesuch!

prop 8 passed, sadly.

good for you guys!

It is civil partnerships over here but its only a step down from full same sex marriages. At least its something recognisable and accepted.
