"We're not anti-gay, we're pro-family"

I've noticed a trend in the last two years - nothing I vote for passes and everything I vote against becomes law. I call it the Brav Corollary - nothing I want will ever become law. Strong evidence supporting the Brav Corollary was given in California's most recent election in which I voted against the three major propositions that all passed and the two underdog presidential candidates were thoroughly trounced (I voted for one of them).
