There is a consensus among legal experts that radically redefining the most fundamental unit of society will inevitably generate a flood of litigation for years to come as the courts work out the innumerable legal and social consequences that flow from such a redefinition.

• Deborah Bulkeley, “Shurtleff backs delay on same-sex ruling,” Deseret News (May 31, 2008)
• Maggie Gallagher, “Banned in Boston: The coming conflict between same-sex marriage and religious liberty,” The Weekly Standard (May 15, 2006)

The collective costs of this litigation will be enormous. Businesses that are the targets of these lawsuits will inevitably pass those litigation costs on to consumers like you.

Vote Yes on Proposition 8 to prevent the exorbitant economic costs that would flow from excessive litigation over the legal and social implications of same-sex marriage.
