Some good news for Christians coming out of the election, from the AP:
"In an election otherwise full of liberal triumphs, the gay rights movement suffered a stunning defeat as California voters approved a ban on same-sex marriages that overrides a recent court decision legalizing them.
The constitutional amendment—widely seen as the most momentous of the nation's 153 ballot measures—will limit marriage to heterosexual couples, the first time such a vote has taken place in a state where gay unions are legal.
Gay-rights activists had a rough election elsewhere as well. Ban-gay-marriage amendments were approved in Arizona and Florida, and Arkansas voters approved a measure banning unmarried couples from serving as adoptive or foster parents."
Notice, students of rhetoric, how the AP calls them "ban gay marriage amendments"--an underhanded, negative portrayal--rather than "defense of marriage" amendments.
Oh well, either way, it's a victory.
