Signs point to Steve Young’s politics

… Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and his wife, Barbara, have posted yard signs in front of their Palo Alto home urging citizens to vote no on the ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage in California. Barbara Young also has donated nearly $50,000 to defeat the measure. …

A few Halloween-themed campaign signs were placed in front of the Youngs’ home. Steve Young declined to comment about the signs in the yard, KPIX-TV reported on its Web site.

But Barbara Young sent a statement Friday through the gay-rights group Equality California, saying: “We believe all families matter, and we do not believe in discrimination, therefore, our family will vote against Prop. 8.”

Young, a Brigham Young University graduate, is the great-great-great grandson of Brigham Young, the second president of the Mormon church. …

My Favorite Mormons: Steve & Barb Young Vote No on 8

You gotta check out the inscriptions on the gravestones that Barb planted in their yard for Halloween:

RIP inequality, Nov. 4

RIP
May discrimination
be a thing of the past,
May hate and fear
be gone at last
RIP prop 8!

Those who forget
the past
are condemned
to repeat it.

No to 8!!!
