Traditional marriage wins, again, in a blue state like California.
In California, the gays and lesbian have essentially the same as marriage, it's called a civil union/domestic partnership. The Proposition 8 battle was over the word and usage of the word "marriage". The gay/lesbian rights activist are demanding the right to use the word "marriage", to get government issued marriage licenses, and to have the State recognize their wedding/civil union/domestic partnership as a marriage.
But gay/lesbian rights activists have not used the political process to attain this goal, they have used the courts. If the gay rights activist would use the legislative/initiative process to pass a law or make a constitutional amendment via the popular vote, it would mean that society as a whole believes they are being discriminated against. The gay rights activists chose not do this, because they KNOW will lose every time. The constitutional right to be married was not won through the legislative/political, but through the judicial fiat. This forces the gay/lesbian rights activist demands on a majority of society without any input of society.
Do the gay/lesbian rights activists really think society will accept them with open arms because a court forces them? Do you think this might cause more animosity and hate, since THEIR minority view was forced on the majority?
Win your point of view through the legislative process, convince the majority your point of view is correct, then society will accept them.
The crazy part, which just show how weak the gay right activist arguments are, you cannot get a gay marriage law passed in California or any Blue state. One has to ask yourself..............
Why?
If such a massively supported civil right is being denied, why will no legislature pass that law? Why won't a majority in California or any legislature pass a law and make such a bold statement about "equal rights?" What the gay rights activist fail to understand, they are not asking for equal rights or civil rights, they are demanding special rights, ones that they are forcing on the rest of society against the collective will of the people. That is not democracy, that is a dictatorship.
Since no legislative body will do it, I think that says it all.

Beyond the religious, it comes to money. Why do I have to pay in my insurance cost for both domestic partnership and marriage. Choose one and write the law accordingly/ That would get my vote.
