The Mormon Church and Proposition 8 is an article written about the Mormon Church support of California's Proposition 8 which banned same sex marriages in California.

There has been quite a bit of debate about Proposition 8 and the definition of marriage. Is marriage a legal or religious term? If it is religious how can it be 'licensed' by the government? What if they were to change it to a legal union, would that be acceptable? There are many questions, many protests, many ardent supporters of the ban and others who feel it is unconstitutional.

This article looks specifically at the Mormon Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and their support of Proposition 8 through funds and lobbying. The author claims that "Mormons donated 40-80% of the funds in support of Proposition 8, many from out-of-state." The article also discusses the Mormon view on interracial marriage and polygamy.
