Wisco says:

Good on them. However, several states cast votes that they'll eventually regret.

In California, Prop. 8 wins. Marriage equality is dead in California -- the same is true of measures in Arizona and Florida. In Arkansas, gays are banned from adopting or becoming foster parents.

That's a shame -- literally. These are attitudes we'll all look back at with shame.
