Gays came back in some polls, but they couldn't pull out a win. Part of the reason is that Obama inspired unprecedented numbers of African Americans to vote. Polls show that black voters are more likely to attend church than whites and less likely to be comfortable with equality for gay people. According to CNN, African Americans voted against marriage equality by a wide margin, 69% to 31%. High turnout of African Americans in Florida probably help explain that state's lopsided vote to ban same-sex weddings.
With all the talk about how the coming liberal administration is going to be the downfall of America, maybe you can see a little more light down that tunnel with the defeat of the homosexual marriage legislation. For those who think African Americans are racist, I guess you can add homophobic to your list as well.
