Back on topic, the bible belt has almost nothing to do with this. Oregon (which is about as far removed from the bible belt as it gets...remember we're the state where euthanasia and medical marijuana are legal) also voted to outlaw gay marriage. Gay marriage, while very widely accepted by the Internet population, is not well received by the general population of America. While some people see it as obvious discrimination, there is still a large portion of the US that feels that people are choosing to live an alternate lifestyle, one outside of the mainstream and then demanding that they get the same benefits and recognition that those who choose to live within the bounds of society get.
