Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi explained today why Proposition 8 passed in California, overturning gay marriage. She thinks they didn't understand what they were voting for:
In a wide-ranging interview with The Chronicle, Pelosi said she believes some voters might not have fully understood the initiative, which overturned a state Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. The measure was approved 52 to 48 percent.
"Unfortunately, I think people thought they were making a statement about what their view of same-sex marriage was," the San Francisco Democrat said. "I don't know if it was clear that this meant that we are amending the Constitution to diminish freedom in our state."
Yeah, makes sense. It's not as if there were any advertisements being run on the subjetc.
