I think you're absolutely right about the prop 8 supporters, although not being part of their target audience I often miss that POV. I definitely agree if attention was drawn to the apathetic population it would cause alot more unity, and the more I think about it the more I imagine that the honest emotions (or lack thereof) expressed in a bar among peers would probably disappear if you thought someone watching was likely to use it against you.

All of the things you listed as reasons for the straight-acting thing make sense even if some of them sadden me.

Beyond being adorable and charming Cheeks has also been quite enlightening this evening, as have you, thanks for chatting with me about this.

Cheeks definitely out-adorables and out-charmings me (and everyone else on the planet pretty much *g*) but I am easier to pin down for chatting :D

Obviously I am only speaking from my own experience, but I did do a ton of work on the No on 8 campaign before the election, and I was working in the San Francisco office, so I heard lots and lots of stories about this kind of thing on top of what I witness myself. And it is kind of sad. There is far too much self hatred, and often the people exhibiting it don't even know that's what it is. :(
