If there is any consolation to be had, it is that the closeness of the vote might mean that we are just one election cycle away from a popular vote somewhere in the country coming in pro-gay. It is easily within reach.
I suspect that an analysis of the Maine vote will show that older Mainers voted anti-gay and younger ones voted pro-gay. Older voters tend to die off. At most, we are one generation away from being rid of the oppression of god-fearing homophobes.

Basically once folks start resorting to elections and ballot initiatives to 'protect' something, that means that the change is inevitable. In a decade this will all be moot and we'll find something else to fight about
But for the moment, it sucks.
Brian makes three astute points.
