Our work is to make the case for more tolerance in California not entrench folks that have those views and lose the state in a GE. That's like 50 steps backwards, the whole agenda of prop 8 was not gay marriage it's about the GOP returning to power that's all in the end they care about. When we attack California we are playing right into their hands and they love it. It's a wonderful state california it's not like there aren't views we disagree with in other states too. So let's be cool. Sure we might gain other states but it's not wisest move to lose the big trophy. Especially if the aim is to see more rights for the LGBT community however big or small. You have to see the end objective and keep all allies close even if we have certain disagreements with those faithful allies.
