Just something to think about: what percentage of the population of California is gay? what percentage of the population voted against Prop 8? I think the support by non-gays for gays is significant.

Also, you're not really making an argument in favor of the tyranny of the majority, are you? Many of us think we have a duty to protect the rights of the minority.
