I stumbled across this editorial from a news weekly in Portland called Willamette Week:

The election of a black man as president has proven one thing: If you believe in something that seems impossible, it can and will happen.
That’s a timely lesson in the wake of several defeats last week, when three states passed anti-gay measures. Among them: supposedly liberal California, where 52 percent of voters approved Proposition 8, which limits marriage to a man and woman.
So, taking a page from Barack Obama’s persistence in the face of America’s resistance to electing a black president, I’m here to tell everybody who voted against the rights of gays that we’re not going away.
