Neither Utah or NM voted for homosexual “marriage”. It was forced on the people by activist legislatures. 17 states so far and only two were approved by a vote of the people, Maryland and Washington State. Washington State same-sex “marriage” was financed by filty rich liberals in the Seattle area, the biggest supporter being Microsoft, and out of state money. Activist out-spend supporters of REAL marriage 9-1 and still only got 53% of the vote. California liberals have ruined Washington State. The area east of the Cascades should have broken away years ago.

Are you sure about that? From what I read both state supreme courts ruled to grant under “equal” protections. That’s worse given judicial fiat is now deciding most of the changes.

Utah passed it’s amendment by 66% in 2004. New Mexico never voted for an amendment, but if it had I would think it would have only passed it in the low 50% ranges.

“It was forced on the people by activist legislatures.”

I thought both were judicial decisions?

If you look at the voting trends of the popular votes held on ‘gay marriage’ they are not positive, in my opinion. Last year NC voted their amendment in by 61%, and was considered a great victory by many. But really 61% just ties the CA prop. 22 ballot of 2000. So NC is around 12 years behind CA on ‘gay marriage’—which probably would have been called crazy if someone predicted that in 2000.
