Public Arguments Supporting Proposition 8

• In Event: What Can We Learn from the California Gay Marriage Debates?

Abstract

This presentation reviews the four major arguments in print and video made in favor of Prop 8: Marriage is correctly defined as between a man and a woman, the people should define rather than the courts, the California Supreme Court decision will lead to bad consequences, and gay couples are already protected by California’s Domestic Partnership Act.
