Simply becuase support is on-going here at RR doesn't make it so "in the real world" nor at the ballot box. Support here doesn't translate to support outside of RR.
It is somewhat reflective of it though. Prop 8 did not win in a landslide - it was about 50/50. Support is obviously higher than that
among those posting, though there may be just as many RR members who disagree and have not posted. That is in "real life" too. You don't hear a lot of people proudly proclaiming that they voted "Yes" on 8 now that they've won. They are the ones who want to forget about it.
I would like to believe it is because they know what they've done is indefensible (that's my fantasy and I'm sticking to it).
