If the public overwhelmingly supports gay marriage as gay advocates claim, why has EVERY SINGLE gay marriage bill that has come up for a vote been smacked down by the voters?

+8I'm not sure I've ever seen a poll that says the public overwhelmingly supports gay marriage.
Or are you talking about a referendum type thing? When was the last one?
1) Anti-Gay fanatics, such as the Mormon lobby, pump advertising dollars into the elections and sway the votes of the weak-minded.
2) The Black vote, that helped elect Barack Obama, doesn't help the equal rights for LGBT bills because for some reason Black Pastors tend to be homophobic.
Ironic story...
I'm white, and grew up in a Church with a Gospel Shouter.
It takes time and effort to build your own self-esteem enough to tell the Bible Thumpers to keep their opinions to themselves.
Today, I'm proud to say I can tell anybody to buzz off. But when I was a kid, I was scared to go against what the Preacher said.
The breaking point was when two girls I'd never seen before came into Church on a Sunday morning in 1979, and sat down.
They giggled a little, but they weren't bothering anybody. They were nicely dressed, even if their skirts only came to their knees. They were probably from Chicago, visiting family in town.
The Preacher came to the back of the Sanctuary and started shouting at them.
They were ashamed and terrified, and ran out crying.
Why, you ask?
They were Black.
And being from the big city, had had the temerity to dye their hair.
On white girls, you could guess, but you couldn't be sure.

But the Preacher wasn't going to allow any Black girls that had dyed hair in his Church.
It was right after that that the Black family right down the road from the church converted to Islam... hmm.
So you see, skin color has nothing to do with being a self-righteous, judgmental S.O.B.
Anybody can be prejudiced for any reason. All it takes is the inability to think for yourself, and the willingness to hate.
And we're talking about POLLS. People are often embarrassed to speak the truth on a poll because they are pressured 24/7 by the media that they shouldn't feel the way they do. The only thing that matters is what they decide when they pull that lever.
...unless some radical Federal judge overturns the decision of We the People. Then your vote doesn't matter AT ALL.

"A Rasmussen poll indicated..."
People ask you a politically correct and sensitive question.
You don't tell them what you really think, but what you know they want to hear.
A voting booth is private and anonymous, you can be the angry, hate filled, bigot you know in your heart that you are without repercussions. God Bless America.
