i heard that the percentage of supporters was actuallly WAY less then the last time this was voted on? from 75% support to 53% ? If so, (even though it still sucks that it passed), it would mean people are changing their perspective. I still vote even though Ca is almost always Democrat because my vote counts toward the popular vote, plus it counts toward the overall voter turnout. I think a HUGE population of Russian/Ukranian immigrants are the main group now that contributed to Prop 8 passing. Their voice is huge in Sacramento these days and they have been known to stage protests at public schools and other that are anti-gay....and it's mostly young people organizing. Very disturbing.

I didn't come out for the vote (Oregon always votes Democratic) but I would have if Prop 8 had been on MY ballot.
