Thinking Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Not being a lawyer, I don't know all the legal jargon that relates to the supreme court ruling about Prop 8. As I understand it, there are certain things that the majority can't decide because the minority might be oppressed.One of the controversial aspects of temple marriage is the exclusion of those not holding a temple recommend from witnessing the ceremony. There have been many debates about this policy, but it remains unchanged.Would it be fair if such a policy was put to a public vote?
