are they jarred or fisted over this?

Got out the vote didn’t ya?

It passed despite Jerry Brown's underhanded tactic of renaming the proposition to make it sound less appealing to the uninformed voter.

Another bright spot in California was the victory by Duncan D. Hunter, USMC, in San Diego County.

I’ll never understand why these people are shocked when Americans tell them that they’d like to keep the same definition of marriage that has existed for millenia.

"There's something deeply wrong with putting the rights of a minority up to a majority vote," said Evan Wolfson, a gay-rights lawyer who heads a group called Freedom to Marry. "If this were being done to almost any other minority, people would see how un-American this is."

Bigamists and members of NAMBLA could make the same argument as this guy.

"If this were being done to almost any other minority, people would see how un-American this is."

Tell it to the polygamists!

Why are homosexuals categorized as a separate minority group?

Just more absurdity.

[UncleDick]

Obama had a nuanced position on the issue, saying he opposes gay marriage while also speaking out against Proposition 8.

In other words, he lied. Claiming to support marriage in order to dupe moderates while opposing laws to protect marriage. Let's hope his tax policy doesn't suffer from the same "nuance"!

I'm elated that Prop 8 passed, but the exit polling is dire, showing a generational shift that will probably usher in the approve of homosexual "marriage" within a decade.

They still have Massachusetts!

California voters put a stop to gay marriage, creating uncertainty about the legal status of 18,000 same-sex couples who tied the knot during a four-month window of opportunity opened by the state's highest court.

Uncertainty? As the power vests in the state, by definition they created certainty.

"There's something deeply wrong with putting the rights of a minority up to a majority vote," said Evan Wolfson, a gay-rights lawyer who heads a group called Freedom to Marry. "If this were being done to almost any other minority, people would see how un-American this is."

Amazing, considering the majority just voted to give themselves more benefits - at the expense of the minority.

Shall we have a discussion about who produces and pays the taxes in this country.

Newsflash: Production doesn't just mean turning a screw. Production is the end result of a creative mind. Take away the creative mind and what will the "workers" of this country have to produce.

I'm gonna step out on a limb, but I'm guessing the thinkers - the real producers of this country are a miniority.

[shhrubbery!]

In a heartbreaking defeat for the gay-rights movement

'Heartbreaking,' eh? No bias there, no siree. /s

Here’s the map of how the vote in Calinfornia broke down.

What’s surprising is that Los Angeles County voted in favor of Proposition 8.
