Despite the enormous pain of the passage of proposition 8, the good news is that despite a badly botched no-on-8 campaign, support for marriage equality in California has shifted from about 40% to about 50% in just 8 years.  The "tipping point" years that we're in right now are particularly painful, because it's right when you're just under 50% support that your opposition throws the most money, the most resources, the most of everything at you.  They know that it's endgame now -- they have to pull out all the stops now to preserve hetero privilege before public opinion shifts permanently in favor of LGBT equality on yet another front.
