Was Prop 8 a diversion?
Was Prop 8 which surprisingly passed a diversion from similar measures in Arizona and Florida?

How so? Theirs failed also, and so did the measure in Arkansas to allow gay couples to adopt.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/res...llot.measures/ The measure in Florida banning gay marriage passed resoundedly, and it passed in Arizona. Was Prop 8 deemed a sacrifice so that the national funds wouldn't be available to fight the other ones?

I think you are reading them wrong. They didn't vote to allow gay marriage, they voted to ban it.
Arizona: Should the state ban gay marriage? Majority: YES California: Should the state ban gay marriage? Majority: YES Florida: Should the state ban gay marriage? Majority: YES |

What bothers me the most is the self-aggrandizement nature of those who consider themselves the wheat amidst the tares when they were able to get behind an issue they would have gotten behind regardless.

For one, the church has more members in California and therefore a greater chance to affect the election.
For another, California is the bigger fish. "As California goes, so goes the nation."
