You will be very unsurprised to learn that I would vote against Prop 8 (and thus in support of gay marriage) if I lived in California. But as for not being more confrontational with Bill May, the Yes on 8 spokesman, in our video, I just didn't feel (and don't as a general principle) that if I'm in the field talking to people that the point is to interpose my views. You (viewers of the video) didn't hear my questions. I actually asked the representatives of both sides some challenging questions, because, well, that's what you do. You want to see if they've thought through the most difficult dilemmas of their position.
In fact May was a very nice man who certainly did not seem like a bigot to me. He's just devoutly Catholic, and he is following the teachings of his church as he interprets them, and you can't scorn a person for that (a hierarchy, sure, but not a lay individual). I just happen to disagree with him. And as I say, it wasn't the right context for me to interject my views and was more edifying for you folks that I just let them talk.
The video was actually filmed and edited by Hildegunn Soldal, my excellent and long-suffering camera-person who has been tasked with following me around the country and was undoubtedly greatly relieved to be able to shoot something besides my mug, so kudos to her.
