This link http://www.sacbee.com/breton/story/1382695.html takes you to a column by the Sacramento Bee's Marcos Breton who opposed Prop 8. In the column Breton comments about why prop 8 passed If the link doesn't work here, you can copy and paste the link into your web browser. Breton is critical of the people who ran the No on 8 campaign. I don't agree with absolutely every single iota of what Breton said. For instance I don't agree with this: "Gay marriage advocates need to understand that religious opposition to their cause is often bathed in love, not hate. Wallace, like Bishop Jaime Soto of the Diocese of Sacramento, speaks of loving gay people but condemning the act of homosexual love," because that's bigotry pure and simple! Still I say that the people who were paid to run the No on campaign ran a lousy one. I agree with Breton that the campaign managers of the No side failed to get a good message out. Also the Democratic Headquarters here in Chico wanted No on 8 signs, as people were coming in requesting them. I heard that the statewide No on 8 campaign ran out of signs a few weeks before the election. Meanwhile I saw numerous Yes on 8 signs around Chico. All of this was not because the No on 8 side didn't have money. I understand that they had funds. Unfortunately the paid campaign managers just assumed that that Prop 8 would be defeated. I know that there's a lot of bigotry out there, but I think that No on 8 should have prevailed by at least 52%-48% instead of the other way around.

Prop 8 and the initiatives that passed in other states will ultimately come before the U.S. Supreme Court, where these laws that ban Gays and Lesbians from marrying will be ruled unconstitutional, just as the Supreme Court threw out laws in states that banned inter-racial marriage.
