Silly me, I thought California's proposition 8, the initiative about gay marriage equality, was about gay marriage. But based on the outreach posters and materials from the No on 8 forces, the pro-gay-marriage folks, which omits the words "gay" and "marriage" altogether, I'd say the No on 8 leaders have not only de-gayed the the proposition, they've also divorced it from anything to do with marriage.

I think its smart.  "Gay" is too loaded a word, but 'equity' is something most people are in favor of.  The law does not create gay or straight, but it does create non-equity.
