My identical twin brother is straight. He has always been supportive of his gay sibling and a staunch advocate for LGBT civil rights.
He's written an essay on Prop. 8 from his own perspective. I think it is worth knowing how many of our straight friends and family members argue against it.
Say NO to Prop 8
In 1850, the State of California passed a law declaring that marriages of white people to "negroes or mulattos" were illegal and void. In 1880, the California Legislature expanded that prohibition to outlaw the issuance of marriage licenses to whites who wanted to marry "Mongolians" (the term then used by the California Legislature to characterize people of Chinese descent). In 1905, the California Legislature yet again expanded the state's anti-miscegenation law, declaring "illegal and void" all marriages between whites and "Mongolians".
