Lies, damned lies, and...
Reading about California's Proposition 8 (and Arizona's Proposition 102 and Florida's Proposition 2) to define "One Man + One Woman = One & Only Marriage," I came across this tidbit, posted before the election:
The Field Poll released on October 31 indicated that, in the following categories, more people were opposed to Proposition 8 than in support of it: precinct voters, registered Democrats, nonpartisan voters, people who preferred Obama as a presidential choice, coastal inhabitants, people who identified as moderate or liberal, men, women, people under 65, Whites, Latinos, Asians, people who had some post-secondary education, college graduates, Catholics, non-Christians, people not affiliated with a religion, and those personally familiar with gays and lesbians. 73% of pollees who chose Barack Obama as their preferred President were against Proposition 8. Overall, 49% of the pollees were against the proposition, 44% were for it, and 7% were undecided.
Proposition 8 passed because of a hitherto unnoticed powerful voting block of... hermaphrodites?

The race is a marathon. We're making progress in the right direction. We didn't get there this time. WE WILL GET THERE, SOMEDAY.

Yeah, maybe, eh? Very icky. Sometimes I really don't like people as a species.

Someday. Two steps forward, one bit of a leap back. ::sigh::
