Does any one else feel like all the anti-gay propositions passing came out of left field?

I am in a state of shock. California, Arizona and Florida all passed constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, and Arkansas actually passed an initiative banning unmarried gay couples (which are all gay couples, as they aren’t allowed to get married) the right to adopt children.

I’m amazed, but maybe it’s just me. Perhaps this didn’t come as such a shock to other people? It makes me feel not as safe as I thought I was.
