The Cato Institute is not “libertarian-leaning” it is explicitly libertarian.

The League of One-Horned Horses claims that Marriage Equality won because of the Unicorn vote even though less than 30% of Unicorns actually voted for it.

A Cato Institute painting a minority of Republicans (28%?) supporting same sex marriage as proof that it only passed because of Republicans? Yeah, nothing biased about the Cato Institute. I mean, the Cato Institute has to be pretty desperate to paint one whole Republican town voting for same sex marriage as some sort of victory for the GOP.

Let them marry, so long as we can keep hoarding fortunes at the expense of many of those who are not wealthy (gay male households actually fare worse economically than straight male ones).You have to wonder if marriage equality, despite being the right thing to do, came at any financial expense, whether they’d still support it.

It’s all about keeping their record low taxes.

As far as I know almost every member of my extended family voted against the marriage amendment. Not because they necessarily because they believe in gay marriage (most of them don’t) – its because they believe in live and let live.

As Sam said – most of them were ticked off that the GOP lost the legislature. But considering how terrible the GOP did running it for two years – that shouldn’t come as no surprise to anyone that happened.

This reminds me of my best friend from college who lives in Minnesota. He’s a conservative in many ways but he also supports marriage equality. I saw him for dinner after the election and he made the comment (and I’m paraphrasing) that other than voting No on the marriage amendment, every candidate and every other issue that he voted for, lost.

Needless to say, he was happy to join me in a toast to the defeat of the marriage amendment but disappointed that Democrats gained control of the legislature and the voter ID lost.
