What's missing from most of the news reporting about the Proposition 8 backlash is equal time and space to the value of a spiritual motivation that underpins the support for the sacred institution of marriage.

It seems most reporters who are writing about the Proposition 8 backlash tend to focus on the easy story. People protest in front of a temple that provides a good photo and video. They gather some quotes, get a couple of comments from the local Mormon spokesman to "balance" the story and hit the send button to the editor.
