In response to my last post on Prop 8, I am offering a few links that may be of interest to people who wish to understand the position of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with respect to same-sex marriage and the passage of Proposition 8 in California.
This link from the Church's newsroom provides and extensive commentary on why we support the protection of traditional marriage.

The next link is also from the Church newsroom and is a response to the passage of Proposition 8 in California.

This last link is also from the Church newsroom and provides some comments from other organizations regarding the backlash aimed at our church following the passage of Proposition 8.

The information from these links is quite comprehensive and conveys the message in far more eloquence and depth than I with my limited capacities could. But, I add my testimony to that of others before me, as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and as a newlywed, that marriage is ordained of God and is sacred. The marriage relationship as defined by God has the capacity to bring the greatest joy of any possible earthly relationship. We need to protect marriage as the fundamental unit of our society.
