If the PEOPLE (meaning everyone) didn't want gay marriage then more than 21% of them would have gotten off their duffs to express that view. I'm sorry, but I can't see how the takeaway is that THE PEOPLE everywhere overwhelmingly don't want gay marriage. The takeaway is that most people don't give a happy monkey screw who's marrying who. You're going to seriously just wave off the fact that the turnout was that low? Just completely ignore the significance of that? I think the apathetic non-voters probably count more towards the "I don't care, go ahead and let them" camp instead of the "let's get our hate on against the gays" group.
And when 21% of the registered voters can take away the rights of an entire group of people who live in the state.... If that's government BY THE PEOPLE, then that's a crappy government.
And yes, they're still bigots.

Actually, we can't stand people imposing their religious based views on everyone else through the lawmaking process. If you want to pray to God, Buddha, Allah, the invisible sky wizard or whatever, go ahead. But keep it to yourself and out of my legal system.
Oh, and if you guys want to keep splitting hairs and arguing over one poll at a certain point in time, you may be interested in seeing
a whole lot of polls over a long time....Gallup, Pew, Quinnipiac, Fox, CNN, ABC, AP, USA Today:
Like I said - inexorable march of progress. It's only a matter of time that this debate becomes as antiquated as the one about interracial marriage.
