[0] 3 [The Reality] The dictionary defines "hate" as extreme aversion or hostility. This does not describe most who voted against us. The 687,000 voters who moved towards the ban on same-sex marriage in the final six weeks of the campaign are very similar demographically to many who voted with us. Also, it doesn't make sense to assume that a voter is hateful of gay people just because they voted against us when, for half of the final month of the campaign, they were exposed to a virulent anti-gay argument without hearing the counterargument from us. The bottom line: whatever motivated the Yes on 8 consultants and donors, and perhaps it was hate, the much larger group who voted against us is much more varied. Yes, they likely share some degree of anti-gay prejudice, and it is difficult to change their minds on marriage. But the post-Prop-8 canvassing experience shows that almost none consider themselves hateful of gay people and, most importantly, they are not all the same. See Finding 1 for a more detailed explanation. [The Common Conception] 
Those who voted against us hate us.
