And the scary thing? Some of those who voted Yes must've also voted from Obama.
That's not surprising. If Obama had been an advocate of same-sex marriage, he wouldn't have won. It's the sad truth. It's two steps forward, one step back.
Several states had laws banning marriage between blacks and whites until the 1967 Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia. Wording related to the ban was still in the constitution of at least one state that I can think of as late as 2000. So the change is slow to come, but it will come. I do truly believe that.
