And rightfully so, as we've just democratized the right of personal freedom in this nation. And if you were remotely committed to the concept of small government as you pretend to be, you would be, too.

It appears that this did better than the 52.24% that Prop. 8 got. I guess California is the most enlightened of the states that have voted on gay marriage.

True, when interracial marriage was legalized, it was far less popular than gay marriage is today.

It is one issue in which I really don't care about.  If it was legalized across the country, I wouldn't care one bit.

PPP pretty much nailed it.  More props to IVR polling (Chuck Todd, the idiot, be damned).

I may have more substantive commentary on this later.

I'm not angry. Just sad. Sad that apparently yet another state has voted to say I don't deserve equal rights that you take for granted.

What if I said they could ban slavery and I wouldn't care one bit Tongue  [huge extrapolation]

it means a lot to those involved

It's a state's right to define marriage.

Reading posts around here and this type of logic starts to make a bit of sense.

No, it isn't. That's the point you dumbass New Rightists have never understood. It is the right of the institution which performs marriage to define it. If some sect wanted to perform a gay wedding, the State has no authority whatsoever to countermand that, because it is a private institution.

Good job Maine!

And it's funny to see the left wanting to do to the right what they think the right is doing to them. Idiotic hypocrites like JFraud and Kucinishisdabest. Roll Eyes

btw I fully expect to be ragged for my optimistic prediction of a large No win.  I think the Yes campaign was better run than I saw on the surface and really got the Catholic and rural voters to turn out better than the No's thought they were doing with younger voters.

At least Washington barely didn't take away more rights from the gays.
