Prop 8 may be the same. The church's support is totally inexcusable, a PR disaster, and will ultimately result in the failure of its stated goal (DDD is right. If Prop 8 passes, it will get challenged, and it will get struck down). But it allows the church to find out who has drank the most kool aid. Just watch, many of those who are leading the Prop 8 charge will get the most prestigious callings in the future.
