Speaking of irony, today Rush Limpdick (I listened in the car strictly for schadenfreude, swear to god) rose the interesting point that the day's great civil rights victory (election of the first black president) ironically also contributed to a great civil rights defeat (passage of several major ballot measures hostile to gays), because according to exit polling, minorities (whose hugely increased turnout was a big factor in Obama's victory) had a far more anti-gay voting tendency on other parts of the ballot than whites did. I found that a little amusing.

California's black and Latino voters, who turned out in droves for Barack Obama, provided key support for a state ban on same-sex marriage. ...

Exit poll data showed seven in 10 black voters and more than half of Latino voters backed the ballot initiative, while whites and Asians were split.

Though blacks and Latinos combined make up less than one-third of California's electorate, their opposition to same-sex marriage appeared to tip the balance. Both groups decisively backed Obama regardless of their position on the initiative.

Darius,

You clearly are not superior because you call people pederasts and promote the use of meth.

[Darius871]

When have I ever promoted meth?



(Though it does make you feel superior, nay be superior...)

I find it amusing. Serves you right for forging an unholy alliance with social conservatives to push your economic and political agenda.

It is possible for gay men to force themselves to marry women and have children.

These men end up with massive mental problems and are genuinely unhappy. Look at all of the republican closet cases that've been coming out...

Who cares about their happiness? They're gay enough, ffs.

That doesn't even make sense in the context of this issue... ?

That Rush's take on the whole thing was limited to something like that is what's amusing. The fact itself is merely a sad irony.

[Boris Godunov]

Proposition 8 won because of a variety of factors, and blaming minorities for it won't really help.

A few months ago, polls showed it losing by a wide margin--17 points or so. Opponents got complacent and donations to fighting it dried up as the presidential election sucked all the air out of the room.

Then the LDS dropped massive money into the pro-8 campaign, funding an incredibly sleazy ad campaign that specifically targeted minority areas with misinformation, including the claim that not passing 8 would allow homosexuals to teach school children about gay sex and that Obama was actually in favor of 8, which he was not.

It wasn't until polling was conducted relatively recently showing Prop 8 winning that opponents woke up and by then it was just too damn late.

If there's a silver lining, it's that this decision likely won't last long. You can guarantee that if legal challenges don't kill it, the whole mess will be back on the ballot in the next election.

This dose not matter. Within 15 years the pro-gay people will have an unstoppable edge in voters. They will then use the Federal Goverment to get what they want.

Winning by out-voting the other side does not show if you are right or wrong. The pro-gay side will say that winning shows they are right-- this is not true.

How could legal challenges possibly strike down an amendment referendum? Only the USSC could supersede a state constitution, unless there's some obscure technicality I'm not aware of.
