I too am disappointed...but I am more than that. I am angry that our state, our state that leads so often, fell victim to lies. That our state would let bigotry thrive...And so many people just don't care. They don't see the discrimination. They do not even think about it.
Had the public voted, 60+ years ago, to allow a marriage between a Latina American and an African American instead of the courts ruling; the majority would have likely voted against the marriage. Why? Because they didn't see it as the discrimination it was...Just as today, many do not see that taking away a basic right such a marriage between two people is discriminatory...
Rewriting the constitution to take away peoples rights instead of insuring that those rights are protected.

It is frustrating.
Grrrr.
