Same here. I don't care one way or the other about the issue (it doesn't affect me personally) but asking state supreme courts to interpret state constitutions (written by people who would have been violently opposed to homosexuality) to say that they allow gay marriage was a losing tactic. Sure, there is an aberant court over in Massachusetts that did just this, but it clearly created a backlash, the results of which are still spreading across the country.
What I'm glad about is that the tactic of using state supreme courts to do an end run around the will of the people is dying. The gays should have tried to simply go for civil unions, but by trying to bite too much of the apple, they get almost nothing.

Me too. I was hoping they'd make the right decision, but wasn't confident.
