Another Disappointment Brought To You By The State Of California...

While I can agree with you that from a strategic perspective a state-by-state progression could work better. However, it fully complicates things from a contractual law point of view. States honor contracts made in a different state, otherwise interstate commerce could not happen for example. So you'd have a legally wed couple in one state suddenly not wed if they move.

There is also the issue that folks simply don't get to vote on the rights of other people. That is what "Tyranny of the Majority" is all about. Talk about breaking long-standing American Traditions.

I do agree 100% that the Anti-8 groups did an amazingly bad job of doing anything more than preach to the choir, blame blacks and Latin@s, and get (understandably) angry with Mormons.
