Video: Anderson Cooper moderates discussion on gay marriage...

This is such an interesting time. There's the "second Stonewall" feeling with protesters marching the streets and making themselves seen and heard in a glorious way. Then there is looking ahead with various legal battles on several fronts and the question of what happens to the marriages of the same-sex couples who took the plunge during the five months that it was allowed in California.

Most fascinating is the post-mortem on what happened and how it happened.

Do the leaders of No on 8 take the blame for having commercials that were too soft and for not doing enough grassroots campaigning in the African-American communities? Were people just too complacent? Should African-American voters - 70 percent of those who voted in favor of Prop. 8 - be criticized for voting to take rights away from anyone? Where do we go from here?

Interesting questions worth pondering. I'm still learning about it all and don't have any answers that I feel confident giving. But I'm eager to hear what you all think went went wrong and where we can go from here.
