From a party in north Phoenix of about six gay guys: They think that if Proposition 102 passes, the definition of marriage will be closed in the state and the gay community will focus on civil unions. Regardless, there's massive excitement in the room over Obama's projected win.
"With Obama being elected, this country is about to change in a major direction," Mike Rahm, a Phoenix resident, says. Rahm believes that even if Prop. 102 passes there's a larger sea change happening in this country; "Years from now, gay marriage will be common." If the antigay amendments pass (in Arizona, California, Florida, and Arkansas), it's seen as more of a temporary setback than a permanent denial of gay and lesbian rights. (The Advocate)
