Thesis Statement/Position

In Richard Kim's article, "Marital Discord: Why Prop 8 Won", Kim highlights bad campaigning and a non tactical approach to preventing Proposition 8 from passing, as the main focus of failure amongst of why Prop 8 passed. Although i agree that any great marketing or campaigning scheme can claim you victorious, I feel that Kim fails to support the obvious that the gay community is still simply discriminated. He also fails to recognize that the youth of America is still strongly outvoted at the polls by the elderly who more often times than not, are not for same sex marriage. These religious or moral elements are the same if not a bigger factor to why proposition 8 was passed.
