The image below is a direct quote from the Question 6 ballot language. Many people that have not read the ballot language are unaware that Question 6 protects both gay couples and religious institutions.

We have familiarized ourselves with the ballot language, and we will be voting FOR Question 6.
This photograph shows the changing nature of marriage over history. At one point in history, interracial marriage was not allowed. Gay couples are now facing the same struggle that interracial couples once faced.

On November 6th we cannot focus on past definitions or beliefs about marriage because they do not apply in the modern day.
We need to vote FOR Question 6 to change the history of marriage once again by extending this right to gay couples.
