All we lost is the media war (Not that we even had a chance) the states that put gay marriage up for a vote lost. The ones were it is legal accomplished it by legislation and not ballot.

That used to be true, but it's not anymore. You're forgetting 2012, in which gay marriage swept all four states where it was on the ballot. The people voted for it there, and will likely continue to do so in other states.

The "will of the people" defense is no longer bulletproof. We've lost that battle too often already.

I didn’t realize four passed it, but the one question still remains is if such a large majority support it why get the supreme court involved? Just pass it in all the states.
