They will not be happy until not only every single state allows gay marriage, but each citizen therein actively cheers them on as they walk down the aisle.<BR/><BR/>Second, the attack on the mormon church has resulted in previously hostile religious groups accepting them and in fact coming to their aid. What was once an ostracized church, has quickly become the darling of the social conservatives.<BR/><BR/>Third, those who oppose prop. 8 also tend to support lax border policies. The refusal to enforce border policies has resulted in a fast growing population of socially conservative voters (at a time when those who are social liberals are barely reproducing). While the hispanic population was not as supportive of prop 8 as the black community, support was well over 50%. This doesn't bode well for the gay marriage proponents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
