Well, in one of the whitest states in the union, voters rejected gay marriage (minorities are far less favorable to these sorts of things). But don't worry, gay-lovers, while the battle is ours, the war is inevitably yours. Young people are the wave of the future, and studies confirm that traditional families are in decline while homosexuals are having the most children.
And BTW, Owens is actually pro-choice. But he's against gay marriage and against the public option. Congrats on your victory!
Owens endorsed the House version of the public option [a limited, closed exchange version] in the only televised debate.
