I think this is becoming one of those issues, like the death penalty and abortion that is going beyond political lines. Just my opinion.

I think you're right about this. Californians voted on a gay marriage proposition in 2000. Over 60% of CA voters voted to keep marriage between one man and one woman. Gay marriage was rejected. The state legislature recently sidestepped the will of the people, as they often do here in CA, and enacted recognition of gay unions this past September. Our ousted governor signed the bill. As it stands now, gay unions will be recognized in 2005, but the issue will more than likely be defeated again when presented to the voters. CA is by no means a conservative state, but historically, it has rejected the idea of gay marriage. Personally I am not opposed to the idea of gay unions, but I do believe the issue should be left to the people, not to the courts.
