Not all of us are gay-bashers, and to paint all of us that way is a bit unfair.

Even in BLUE Michigan, land of the liberals, they voted to ban gay marriage, by a huge margin. I think most of society in general is anti-homosexual. I know more states had this on the ballet in '06 but I didn't end up seeing what those results were in those states.
I think referendums such as gay marriage and banning affirmative action are fascinating studies in human behavior. In the exit polls regarding our ban on affirmative action, the results were FAR different than the actual voting results. More people voted to ban it than admitted it in exit polling. People do something different in a secret ballot than they do when they are responding to someone in person. Nobody apparently wanted to be perceived as being racist/sexist when asked in person. With regards to specific candidates, the exit polls were quite accurate.
That's a bit of a hijack, but it made me think about that phenomenon. Also, you don't have to be a public gay basher to be "anti-homosexual".
