GUEST OPINION: YES ON PROPOSITION 102
Gay marriage amendment simply states a timeless truth
Published: 09.08.2008
It's been said about politicians that "the longer they talk, the further they get from the truth."
That saying rings true not only for politicians, but for propositions as well.
You can't help but notice the short length of this statement in favor of Proposition 102.
And you can't help but notice the short length of Prop. 102 itself.
Prop. 102 is 20 simple and clear words that do one thing and one thing alone: define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Yes, despite what you may have heard, Prop. 102 is that simple.
It just doesn't require piles of political rhetoric to make the case for a timeless truth in which most Arizonans already believe.
One man. One woman. That's marriage.
There's little doubt the anti-102 case will rely on lengthy and complicated claims that Prop. 102 isn't necessary or that it's about more than just marriage.
Rather than arguing over those claims, we would encourage you to simply read the 20 simple words that make up Prop. 102 for yourself:
"Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state."
When something is that simple and clear, it speaks for itself.
Vote "yes" on Prop. 102. For more information, visit our Web site at www.YESfor Marriage.com.
