"The reality is that to a very large part of the country, and even in the bluest parts of the bluest states, homosexuality is not seen as normal and gay relationships are not seen as healthy and contributing to a society's well-being. Whether that's because of religion or because of the 'ick' factor or some combination of the two, it doesn't much matter. It's there and it's only grudgingly and slowly giving up ground. No on 8 leaders were trying to dislodge in five months what people have been taught for a lifetime about homosexuals and marriage.  Given the size of the task, it's amazing we nearly succeeded."
