Realistically, there is going to be a lot of sturm und drang on the issue, but it is pretty obvious how the movie ends. Prop 8 will eventually fail in California and homosexuals and heterosexuals in California will have equal rights.

i don't doubt any of that at all.
i just find the prop 8 issue humorous. people don't want to accept that people have voted on something and voted no. everyone loves a democracy until they don't agree with the outcome.
and the arguments are interesting. one side can argue that homosexuality is unnatural. the other side likes to argue that gays are born homosexual. however, making that argument means ignoring the fact that someone can obviously choose to be gay and choose to have gay sex (regardless of biology and genetics) as is common in this industry for example. so being gay can be the result of a variety of issues. that has to be denied because then it opens the door to the other arguments.
its pretty fascinating.
