Culture Wars: Winning the 'Values' Vote
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6401635/site/newsweek/
It was on 11 ballots, and won on all of them. How the
anti-gay-marriage initiatives shaped the presidential contest
By Debra Rosenberg And Karen Breslau
Newsweek
For weeks, gay-rights activists had been bracing for the worst.
Pre-election polls told them that contentious anti-gay-marriage
initiatives, on the ballot in 11 states, would likely pass in all but
Oregon. One by one on Election Day, those predictions came true. And
then some. In the end, it was a clean sweep—even libertarian-leaning
Oregon eventually voted to outlaw same-sex marriage by 56 percent,
despite a $2.8 million push by gay groups. In eight states, including
Ohio, Michigan and Utah, the measures went even further. They
curtailed rights granted under civil unions and domestic partnerships,
which could affect unmarried straight couples, too—a position to the
right of President Bush and other Republicans. Ohio's Republican
governor opposed his state's initiative. It still passed with 62
percent of the vote.
