They’re trying to get a proposal on the ballot here in Michigan to repeal the gay marriage ban we voted for 6 or 8 years ago.

Michigan passed it’s amendment by 59% in 2004. A 9% loss in 10 years for a popular vote about ‘gay marriage’ in say 2014 is not out of the realm of possibility. Now Michigan isn’t CA, but CA lost 9% in the 8 years between prop. 22 (61% in 2000) and prop. 8 (52% in 2008). If a new referendum happens it would be a lot closer than in 2004, in my opinion.

I don’t think any of them have been repealed yet by a popular vote, though.

The irony of this stuff is that most of the fervent supporters working on it aren't gay.
