After long thought and careful consideration I have decided that I can not be angry at the majority of Californians who voted "yes". They did not do it out of malice. Some voted due to outdated and unexamined personal convictions, others due to being confused and misled by the lies. They did not vote the way they did in order to strike a blow against gay rights, for they do not see it in that light. To them, it is a matter of protecting something they think is threatened. They are wrong and misinformed, but they are not malevolent. I truly believe that, if not for the lies of the "Yes on 8" organizers, many of these people would have voted differently. With enough time and education, they will come around.

No, I’ll reserve my anger, my condemnation, and yes, my hatred for the people who ran the pro-8 campaign - the ones who used their positions and influence to lie their way to victory. They are our true enemies. The good people of California were merely the pawns in their evil game. These are the people we must fight. This is where our energy must be directed.
