RE: Prop. 8 passed by 52% in 2008.
Notice that a mere 8 years earlier, Proposition 22 passed by 61% ( in 2000 ).
The trend in California is not the friend of supporters of traditional marriage.
Something seems to be happening to the population of California in the past decade....
Not only that, but NC tied prop. 22 last year with 61% of the vote and was hailed as a great victory by many. We can reasonably can project that NC is around 12 years behind CA on the issue, in my opinion. I can see an acceleration of the trend if enough states accept ‘gay marriage’ fast enough. But there are some states that passed their amendments in the 80% ranges, those will last a while. The ones that only passed theirs in the 50% ranges might be repealable by popular vote today.
I recall a time on FR when many thought a popular vote on the issue would never fail.
