Guess they'll just keep putting it up elestion after election until they get their way.

Of course they will. 2000's Proposition 22 was adopted by a vote of 61.4% to 38%. Eight years later with Proposition 8, the vote was 52.47% in favor and 47.53% opposed. The gay mafia pushes on because the numbers tell them they will eventually win.

Well, until things get to the bleeding-point. Then the stupid will die off as it’s “survival of the fittest”.

...the numbers tell them they will eventually win.

Then again, their militant activism may push the numbers back into the sixty percent range, especially if they propose it sooner rather than later.

Possibly, but I believe there exists a "pendulum effect," otherwise you would never have seen a Republican comeback after a Democratic takeover in government. But think about the Prop 8 numbers being so marginal. At the time of the election, the Gaystapo had possession of the ball - they had managed to have homo-"marriage" in place, creating the effect of "taking away rights" if the proposition won; they had numerous celebrities crowing about this issue in their favor; had the CA attorney general, who was SUPPOSED to be defending Prop 8 but was in their corner; had the wording of the proposition changed to a derogative connotation; and had 18,000 "marriages" already in place, giving them a wedge to push the issue. By all accounts, this thing should have been a blowout for the homo-nazis, so I think the win for us was impressive.

IMO, their proposed ballot amendment to dump Prop 8 will probably result in a reversion to the 61% support for traditional marriage, if not higher.
