Although neither of the presidential candidates' positions on same-sex marriage are fantastic from a gospel standpoint, or even from a standpoint of reason ( http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/issues.samesexmarriage.html ), McCain's position is MUCH better than Obama's. McCain
supports the California Marriage Protection Act which Californians will have an opportunity to adopt into our Constitution on election day in November.

Key quote: "I support the efforts of the people of California to recognize marriage as a unique institution between a man and a woman, just as we did in my home state of Arizona," McCain said in a message widely distributed via PRNewswire. "I do not believe judges should be making these decisions."
Moreover, McCain is more likely than Obama to appoint judges and Supreme Court Justices who will uphold traditional marriage and reject the notion that the Constitution requires provision for same-sex marriage.
