Gay Marriage Cannot Win in America

If we cannot win in Maine, one of the least religious of US States, there is no state where we can win a popular vote. And given the state of the law in the United States of America that means that we won't get to marry in most places in my lifetime. It's done. It's over. This is an issue that cannot win because we're simply too small an minority and religious people are more passionate about denying us marriage than our straight allies are about giving it to us.

I'm not going to donate to the cause again unless polling shows a more than solid majority in favor of it. People lie on polls and this is why they consistently show a higher number in favor of gay marriage than will actually vote for it in the privacy of a voting booth. So unless we've got 60%+ support among likely voters we will not have a simple majority on election day.
