If you thought that Americans could vote people's civil rights away, you are about 60 years late to the party.

We do. and we have.
But we also have a checks and balances that pretty much protects little Suzie next door should we all vote to hump her every Friday.

Looks like we're going down a path similar to Loving v. Virginia, as was long predicted. A state cannot pass a law that treats one class of people differently without some compelling reason, and that reason cannot be religious belief. And marriage is a basic right. We've had gay couples marrying in the US for 8 years now, and longer in other countries, and the predicted calamities have not come to pass.

Sorry haters.

exactly! even the rightish US Supreme Court will not be able to defend prop 8 and also find it unconstitutional.
