Well, Proposal 8 passed in California... like none of us saw that one coming. So now, despite what the state supreme court ruled, the state constitution has been amended, permanently re-defining marriage as one man, one woman... ironically in the state that has the largest gay population in the nation.
Anti-gay state constitution amendments were approved by the voters in Arizona and Florida as well.

So this country is enlightened enough to let a black man be president, (and one with liberal policies at that) but still in the dark ages about homosexuality. Go figure.
Yesterday, I stumbled upon a very interesting article, about the hidden cost of forcing straight marriage upon everyone regardless of sexual orientation... written by an insider to one such marriage. While I already supported gay marriage on principle, my eyes have been opened to the cost to traditional heterosexual marriage, and the nuclear family, by pushing gays to follow everyone else's conventional lifestyle. It's counter-intuitive, but legalizing gay marriage, it turns out, is the best "defense" of straight marriage.
