True, and I noticed that in statistical break downs the only age bracket that wasn't 50/50 or more against prop 8 was the oldest one. Although, I'm very proud to say that both of my grandparents voted No, and fully support gay marriage. My grandfather didn't fully support it a few years ago, because he thought that in practice, gay marriage might cause some confusion/interruption in society and that people wouldn't accept it. And then it actually started happening, and it only really affected the couples themselves. Everyone else pretty much forgot that there was anything new happening, and life carried on. So my grandpa was pretty much like "okay cool, I guess it worked after all", and that was that. Ahh, rationality.
There's a good chance that the marriages that happened since the summer will remain valid since it was technically legal during that period (as opposed to a few years back when the San Fran courts started issuing licenses when it was still technically illegal, which pretty much made those marriages invalid automatically). That could still go sour, but they're gonna have to work harder if they want to get those marriages nullified. And by that time the Supreme Court may have determined Prop 8 to be unconstitutional. And then it starts over again. Hmmm.
