My concern is more with people being confused by the "yes/no" switcheroo. A yes vote bans gay marriage, a no vote does not ban gay marriage. Unfortunately, people polled found the question confusing, and people that support gay marriage are putting a line next to "yes", which is incorrect.
Remember: Yes = ban, No = no ban.

I'm glad the AG changed the wording of the title of this proposition to make it clear what it actually is "Proposition 8 - Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry".
This makes a yes/no vote clearer, but I just hope people will read their ballots...

My girlfriend's parents and relatives are voting "yes", and their reasoning is that gay marriage is wrong and will destroy the institution of marriage. And God forbid raising children in a gay marriage, they will most likely turn out to be horrible gay-brainwashed evil-doers like their parents.
This is most likely based on their being Catholic. But, I had to convince her mother that Barack Obama is not a Muslim, so there might be other factors to consider...
