The answer to how we solve the second half of that headline lies in the first.

Prop 8. Still a Toss-Up Five Days Before Election

The gay marriage ban is trailing 49-44 in a new Field Poll out today with a 3.3 margin of error. Among Protestants, 60% in favor, 33% opposed. Among Catholics, 44% in favor, 48% opposed.

Why We’re Going to Lose Prop. 8.

I hope I’m proven wrong, but a little more than two weeks away from the election, my growing sense is that Proposition 8, which will outlaw gay marriage in California, will pass.
