The majority of the voters are obviously against gay marriage, as it keeps failing in referendums. People may say one thing to friends and family on the issue, or even to pollsters, since there is such fear of the backlash and “bigot” label. Yet, when they get in the voting booth, Americans keep showing that they haven’t really changed their opinions on the issue very much, and they are the ones that Cruz needs to appeal to, not the media.

Actually, that's not true.

We've lost the last four public votes in a row. And the ones we won before that we won by slimmer margins than just a few years earlier.

It's easy (and comforting) to dismiss polls, but some are uncannily accurate. We ignore them at our peril. And looking at the trends, one can't seriously deny that we've lost the country as a whole. We have to admit that before we can ever hope to change it.

It’s really about sodomy, not love, not procreation, but sodomy.
