The proponents of Prop. 8 were good in their marketing and good at hiding their religious objections to gay marriage to the general public.
They didn't rail against the gays, they argued that teaching 1st graders about homosexuality would be wrong. Because we all know that when we talk about marriage we have to describe all the sexual acts that might be performed. That's why I don't want my grandkids to know about my marriage, especially the 4 year old. /sarcasm off
It's a BS argument, but it worked for many and the No on 8 people ran a pretty defensive campaign, not a proactive one.
I already know a few people that are now embarassed they voted Yes on 8. It sucks. In a couple of years, you may be hard pressed to find a majority of people that admit to ever having supported Prop. 8.
