Same-Sex Marriage, Civil Unions, and Domestic Partnerships

The 2008 election brought a new twist in the saga of same-sex marriage with the passage of measures banning marriage for gay couples in Florida, Arizona and in California, where the right had been granted less than six months earlier.

On Oct 26 Sunday, our church went to join the parade for supporting traditional marriage, which was held by a Chinese church organization. The parade started with 3 pastors giving a speech and people were ordered to walk from Memorial park to Stevens Creek, Cupertino.
I could not tell how many people were there exactly, but all the people were wearing a red t-shirt made by the host, and the crowd formed a "red sea".
Until now, I still remember the sense of union of christians in bay area gathering together, praying for the truth and the moral of the world. As I know, this parade was held in two other places, including San Francisco.
I'm glad that Prop 8 was passed finally....
This incident reminds me that christians should also care about the society...
