This shall not last. While it's three years away, 2012 will be the year the initiative will appear on the ballot and gay marriage will become legal. As Generation O takes over the ballot box, you will see social norms change dramatically.

I am feeling so disheartened this morning byt he outcome. And I keep asking, why do we have to go through this? At what other time, historically, were civil rights up for a public vote?

I do believe what Nate said about a "Bradley Effect" and voter turn-out on an off-year election. However, with that said, the dye has been cast and the freedom lost.

Now what do we do to pick ourselves up and keep on fighting? Where is the next battle and how can we win?
