There is something to be said for the double standard here.
Pro Prop8 isn't necessary homophobic. The question is about marriage and there are a whole bunch of legitimate reason someone who likes gays might not wish them permission to marry (not that it should be their choice in the first place).
I've never understood how people can be ok with denying liberty to some class of folks. Don't folks realize that there could come a time when they themselves will be in the minority on something? And that they could have their liberty restricted?
We're not talking about forcing the catholic church to marry gay couples. They have the right of free association as far as I understand it and freedom of religion. We are talking about legal marriages. Yes, the "M" word.
Liberty is a basic right.
