>> Proposition 8 passed. A majority of people were in favor of it.
This is debatable; there was a lot of propaganda from the prop8 supporters that confused people. One co-worker thought prop8 meant schools would actively teach her child about homosexuality. Any sexuality(hetero or homo) teaching in school should be first decided by the parent, ihmo. At least when I was growing up, parents had to sign a waiver/consent paper before the high-school kids were sent to the birds-and-bees classes.
>> The Yes on 8 campaign targeted parents in its TV ads. "Mom! Guess what I learned in school today!" were the cheery-frightening first words of the supporters' most-broadcast ad. They emerged from the mouth of a young girl who had supposedly just learned that she could marry a female when she grew up.
