If Same sex marriage is such and important issue to the voting publlic?

Um. Have you actually read the news in the past 2 years, Gay marriage rights are being granted monthly.

Do you focus on California because they took one step back after 1000 steps forward and somehow that makes you feel optimistic?

I will explain it for you.

Why did Prop 8 pass? A massive disinformation campaign financed in large part by the Mormon Church.

Would Prop 8 pass today? Not a chance. The most recent polls indicate that almost 2/3 of Californians support same-sex marriage.

I'm not sure that this is the pivotal issue for most voters, but times do change. It's doubtful that a state measure like Proposition 8 would pass today.

Maybe its a moral one to some.

That was then. Now gays are on prime time shows. The world has changed. No one carries a pager any more. Your 8 track player is obsolete.

The rights of the minority should never be subject to the votes of the majority

the majority is anti-American, anti-Land of the Free and pro fascism
