It's going to take time to get people comfortable with the idea. The reason Proposition 8 existed is because the proponents of same-sex marriage in California rushed their agenda. Instead of being patient and waiting until they had the majority behind them, they tried to force same-sex marriage on the majority, which lead to a predictable backlash - a constitutional amendment.
It's not that same-sex marriage is wrong - I firmly believe it is not. It's just that the TIMING was wrong in sanctioning the marriages.
