This fundie begs to differ.
So the NC ballot bans marriage and civil unions?

Nate Silver wrote a very detailed post about how there is a real difference between ballot initiatives to ban gay marraige vs. civil unions. Bassically, a bill that ONLY bans gay marriage is far more likely to pass. A bill that bans civil unions is less likely to pass.

Unfortunately, his predictions say that NC will probably vote to ban gay marraige/civil unions:

Well, since it also bans civil unions, there's a hope of defeating it. That happened in Arizona before the bigots settled for just banning gay marriage.

I wonder if there'll be a Proposition to legalize gay marriage on the next Proposition election here in California, which is November 2012.

You mean a repeal Propotition 8 thing? Probably not. But the vocal minority who are against it might just push it to the ballot, but it will fail because every time an election that includes a proposition/question/ammendment/whatever against homosexual marriage, the bigots win those who believe in the traditional family win. Not everyone who opposes gay marriage and civil unions hates those individuals. We love them and want to come to Jesus and leave that life behind.
