Did you read my posts? I said gay rights groups in California are incompetent. They allowed the other side to define the issue as teaching gay sex to kindergarteners, and not about how it affects regular Californians and their rights. "Vote no because... it's bad!"
They did seem to handle it poorly, but on the other hand, it's an effective attack that is hard to parry. It would be nice if our opponents didn't go there, but all's fair in love and war, and appealing to fear that we're going to make their kids gay is an effective way to keep us from having the protections of the law that they take for granted.
