Michigan passed it’s amendment by 59% in 2004. A 9% loss in 10 years for a popular vote about ‘gay marriage’ in say 2014 is not out of the realm of possibility. Now Michigan isn’t CA, but CA lost 9% in the 8 years between prop. 22 (61% in 2000) and prop. 8 (52% in 2008). If a new referendum happens it would be a lot closer than in 2004, in my opinion.

I don’t think any of them have been repealed yet by a popular vote, though.

“I don’t think any of them have been repealed yet by a popular vote, though.”

Pretty sure you’re correct, although that’s just a matter of time. California would have repealed Prop 8 had the courts not made that moot, and Virginia will have a repeal on its ballot next year.

Closest I can think of is Minnesota, where the voters declined to strengthen their ban. Not exactly the same thing, but a troubling step in the wrong direction.
