His wife has given $50,000 to oppose it and they have lawn signs opposing it. Family does not believe in discrimination..."therefore our family will vote against Prop. 8". Young is a prominent Mormon.

Wife of former 49er Young voting No on Prop. 8

Friday, October 31, 2008

(10-31) 22:53 PDT San Francisco, CA (AP) --

Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and his wife Barbara have posted yard signs in front of their Palo Alto home urging voters to vote no on Proposition 8, the state ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage.

Barbara Young has also donated about $50,000 to defeat the measure, and says in a statement that the family does not believe in discrimination and "therefore our family will vote against Prop. 8."

...

The Mormon Church has donated much money to the "Yes on 8" campaign.

(the knucklehead and now LA Dodger, Jeff Kent supports Prop. 8, in case you need another reason to oppose 8, there you go) :rofl:
