We need to support and vote Yes on Prop 8 which states that "only marriage between a man and a woman is legal and recognized in California."  If it does not pass, homosexual marriage will be legal in this state to the detriment of our children.

1) Children in public schools will have to be taught that homosexual marriage in just as good as traditional marriage.  The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (S51890)  Therefore, unless Prop 8 passes, children will be taught that marriage can be man-man, woman-woman, or man-woman.  There will be clashes between the secular school system and the rights of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.

2) Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to place orphan children not in homes with a mother and a father.  Catholic Charities in Boston already closed its doors to providing adoption services in Massachusetts because the courts legalized homosexual marriage there.

3) Textbooks will be changed.  California is a large textbook market and thus textbooks modified for California will become the norm for all of the USA.

4) Religions that sponsor private schools with married student housing may be required to provide housing for homosexual couples, even if counter to church doctrine, or risk lawsuits over tax exemptions and related benefits.

Additionally, think of all the unintended consequences that we cannot even foresee at this time.  Where will it end?
