I love John Marcotte's moxy!

Miami Herald reports:

John Marcotte, the web designer voted against Proposition 8, the California Marriage Protection Act that outlawed gay marriage.

"If you want to protect traditional marriage, don't stop gay people from getting married," he said. "Stop straight people from getting divorced."
