What Will Happen if Prop 8 Fails?

Take a look at the video. It tells the story of a family in Massachusetts who had to deal with their Kindergartner aged son being taught about same-sex marriage in the classroom. However before we get there I would like to share a quote from something my friend Kimberly authored:
Please understand that this is not an anti-gay or a minority rights issue. The issue is the need for clarification of the definition of marriage, so that practices, such as same-sex marriages and behaviors, stay out of the public school curriculum. Such a definition would not affect, change or withhold any rights or liberties granted to domestic partnerships or civil unions; nor would such a definition discourage the acceptance of how others choose to live their lives or organize their own families. Homosexual couples would still have all the same legal rights and privileges as any other heterosexual married couple. Defining marriage as only being recognized between a man and a woman simply keeps the State from requiring teachers to teach our children about it without a parent’s knowledge or permission.
Please consider the implications that come with this Proposition. Realize that I know people who are homosexual but that I do not hate them. I simply stand for Marriage and I stand for family. Vote yes on 8 so that the following will be added to the constitution of the state of California
“Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California
Thats all there is to it folks!
