This looks like a case of "silencing Christians" to me.

"One of the roles of the prophets: Sometimes you offend. You afflict the comfortable but comfort the afflicted,"

If Christians can't "offend" and "afflict the comfortable", we cease to be Christians.

Pro-Family Group Says Effort to Ban Calif. Gay 'Marriage' Looks 'Strong'

The amendment language published on the voteyesmarriag.com web site states:

"SEC. 1.1. Only marriage between one man and one woman is valid or recognized in California, whether contracted in this state or elsewhere. A man is an adult male human being who possesses at least one inherited Y chromosome, and a woman is an adult female human being who does not possess an inherited Y chromosome. Neither the Legislature nor any court, government institution, government agency, initiative statute, local government, or government official shall abolish the civil institution of marriage between one man and one woman, or decrease statutory rights, incidents, or employee benefits of marriage shared by one man and one woman, or require private entities to offer or provide rights, incidents, or benefits of marriage to unmarried individuals, or bestow statutory rights, incidents, or employee benefits of marriage on unmarried individuals. Any public act, record, or judicial proceeding, from within this state or another jurisdiction, that violates this section is void and unenforceable."

This wording is problematic in its chromosomal definition of man and woman. See:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001669.htm

By this definition, an XY chromosomal but "clearly femail" person would be prevented from marrying a man, and if enacted, this person would have no legal recourse. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment right to petition the government. Man should not apply such crude tests to the infinite complexity of God's creation. This amendment should be rejected outright by the voters. Efforts to trick voters into supporting the amendment mask the awesome power of God and replace His Word with the hollow shell of the hypocrite false prophet.
