Barbara Young, wife of legendary football player Steve Young, donated $50,000 to fight proposition 8. What's most interesting is the fact that both Steve and his wife are Mormons.
The Mormon Church has made it clear that they are against gay marriage, however the Youngs have a different view on it:
"We believe all families matter, and we do not believe in discrimination, therefore, our family will vote against Prop.8…I am very passionate about this issue and Steve is completely
supportive of me and my work for equality. We both love our Church and
are grateful that our Church encourages us to vote our conscience.
Steve prefers not to get involved politically on any issue no matter
what the cause and therefore makes no endorsement."
See not all Mormons are against gay marriage. I didn't even know who Barbara was until now and I like her. We need more people like her. Go Barbara and Steve!

P.S. Don't forget to vote tomorrow!
