Although Prop 8 passed, banning gay marriage and only recognizing marriage between a man and a woman in California, one of the most progressive states, I still have hope.

In 2000, Prop 22 which esentially banned gay marriage was overturned by “activist judges” earlier this year (which led to Prop 8 being on the ballot), the vote for banning gay marriage was 61% yes and 38% no.  This time around, with Prop 8, the vote for banning gay marriage was about 52% to 48%.

Obviously, the swing is coming our way. People are becoming a lot more tolerant and open-minded.  That’s a good thing.

I would supposed that next year, another gay couple will sue the state for Prop 8 being unconstitutional and the same judges would rule that is, thus allowing gay marriage again.  In that case, I hope that the next time it comes back up on the ballot, that 3% realize it’s not about education or fear, but about discrimination and love.
