San Francisco’s Mayor was taught a lesson in humility yesterday.

After gay marriages became legal in California in June, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom — who is gay — boasted, “gay marriage is here to stay, whether you like it or not!

He might as well have said, “We’re coming for your little boys, whether you like it or not!”

Well, opponents of gay marriage didn’t like it or his attitude. So Californians said “YES” to proposition 8 and voted gay marriages out of existence yesterday. 70% of those who voted for Prop. 8 were black or Hispanic.

And this time the ban on same-sex marriages is amended to the Constitution which means it will not be repealed.

That means all those marriage licenses issued to gay couples are now null and void and California residents are asking, how do you like it now?
