"Proposition 8…drew its strongest support from evangelical Christians and Republicans, according to a post-election survey released today by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC). Majorities of Latinos, voters without a college degree, and those age 55 and older also backed the measure, which passed by a 4–point margin (52% yes, 48% no)… Three in four Republicans (77%) voted yes, two in three Democrats (65%) voted no, and independents were more closely divided (52% yes, 48% no)…While most voters (65%) consider the outcome of Proposition 8 to be very important, the measure’s supporters (74%) are far more likely than those who voted no (59%) to view the outcome as very important."

This is all rather irreIevant, don't you think?
I think you should be questioning a "democratic" system that can allow the rights of a minority to be put up for majority approval.
Because as things stand what is to stop the right wing and the religiously afflicted doing the same over some other issue in a year or ten year's time?
