Prop 8 is a prime example of how anti-lgbt laws can get passed through appealing to "not" homophobic people. The strong appeal towards "preserving" traditional marriage and the "think about the children" message resignated with a lot of people that were on the fence or didn't think about the issue, enough for it to pass and take away marriage equality. People on the fence that voted yes thought about their personal discomforts and it influencd their votes. It's amazing how quickly people forget about how much struggling and cultural battles the lgbt community faced because people "felt grossed out" by them |
Did the suffragettes have it easy to win voting rights for women because men didn't find their sexual activities gross? Dude, challenging social dogmas has nothing to do with likes and dislikes.
