re: #289 cronus

Good point. However, it’s interesting to note that even with Obama winning the Presidency last November, in two states that went for Obama, California and Florida, passed measures effectively banning gay marriage or defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. In Florida, it was a constitutional amendment needing 60% of the vote to pass and it got 62%. That one was a huge shocker, as most people were convinced they would never get 60% of the voters in FLA to support it.

Clearly, a lot of people who voted for Obama voted against gay marriage. That seems to be a socially conservative issue with a lot of support throughout the country.
