The Church appears to be making a PR and tactical mistake. Whether Prop 8 passes, I have no idea.
And culturally to shame some into obliging may not be wise, but my guess is it will blow over within a few months after passage or rejection. We seem to make mountains out of molehills here.
Of course, I'm sitting in a neighboring state with no investment either way.
