California's Prop 8 Protesting

Okay, so I'm just as disappointed that Prop 8 passed as everyone else that was against it, but what's with the rigorous protesting?
People! This isn't going to happen over night and it's small minded of you to think that it would. All of you keep comparing this to the African American Civil Rights movement, but you forget that it took years and years before African Americans received what they, as humans, deserved. Once again I will say that it's not going to happen over night.
You also have to consider this a vast improvement from the last time a prop. like this was put up.
I can definitely see some light protesting, but you people are acting like fools; beating people up, getting yourselves beat up, getting arrested, getting other people arrested. How do you expect people to accept gay marriage when every time that they turn around, you're attacking them. Back off a little and you might see some change. And be patient for Christ's sake. So, Keep fighting for our rights as humans, but stop making fools of yourselves.
