Why? Not all couples have kids anyway.

five out of ten are in virginia.  no surprise there, given the ubiquitous bumper stickers.  I haven't read the thread, so someone may have beaten me to the punch, but in case they haven't, you do know what the official Virginia tourism board motto says I assume.

In only 3 states was the largest county the most supportive.

Virginia has independent cities, which explains why the ind. cities are more liberal because they don't have rural areas mixed in with them to form a county.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

We'll see civil unions on a large scale by the late 2010s and gay marriage by the 2030s.

ah, yeah, that's why their election maps always have little dots of one color surrounded by counties of a different color on most election maps.  actually, I'd forgotten that.

Still, I couldn't resist:  Virginia is for Lovers.

Voting for a gay marriage ban gets rid of all of those pesky gay people and sets the agenda for good values, now doesn't it.  That's right,  no more gay people fighting for rights.  Now these states can all go back to the good old days when gay people didn't exist.  Right!!!

Gay marriage bans are an insult to the brains of those who have one, and a Godsend to those whose head is deep in the sand.

Government needs to get it's business out of people's bedrooms, and start legislating with its pants on.

Douglas County votes no by a 63/37 margin while the amendment passes 70/30

This is a map of all the states that have voted on gay marriage. Blue=ban.

Have any of the gray states had statewide referenda on any other gay rights issue. If so, does anyone have maps or results?

I think Maine has had anti-workplace discrimination in a referendum, but I forget the year.

[angus]

Now, ten years after China decriminalized homosexuality and six years after officials removed it from a state list of mental disorders, gay men and lesbians say one of their biggest obstacles is parental pressure to get married.

exerpt from today's Washington post.  I know it seems a bit off-topic, but I just found it interesting and thought you might as well, nclib.  Read the article here.

The year was 2005, and Maine voters chose to uphold the anti-discrimination law.  From the Maine SoS:

Question 1: PEOPLE’S VETO

Do you want to reject the new law that would protect people from discrimination in employment, housing, education, public accommodations and credit based on their sexual orientation?

Number of Votes in Favor  181,926 (44.9%)
Number of Votes Opposed  223,274  (55.1%)

So the pro-gay rights side won?

Do you have a link to the results?

Question 1 here.

[Alcon]

The map:



Green counties voted to repeal the anti-discrimination law; red ones kept it.

Range was 35% (Cumberland) to 60% (Aroostook).

Interestingly, French Canadians seemed to have narrowly voted yes.

Asking people whether or not they're opposed to rejection?  Even I'd probably be slightly confused by that one.

Alcon,

Have any other states had any statewide referenda on any gay rights issue other than marriage?

[J.G.H.]

In 2006, while approving a gay marriage ban 55-45, Colorado also rejected an initiative to provide for domestic parnerships, 48-52.

See http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/electionresults2006G/
and http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/leg_dir/lcsstaff/bluebook/Bluebook2006.htm

I'll be uploading some more maps related to the homosexual conspiracy this afternoon.  It's one of my favourite issues to track.

2006: Colorado narrowly rejects domestic partnerships


Data here

Gains versus Bush performance
Costilla +103.6% (67%)
Conejos +52.8% (59%)
Las Animas +40.7% (41%)
Pueblo +38.5% (38%)
Otero +23.4% (38%)

I think everyone can pretty much figure out what the second number I gave was, and why this measure failed.

On the other hand...

Losses versus Bush performance
Pitkin -21.6%
Summit -17.0%
Eagle -16.3%
Douglas -13.6%
Routt -8.9%

I doubt I need to explain that either.
