Gay Brain Drain
Good. Wisconsinites should be ashamed of themselves. You can't amend your state constitution to endorse hate and limit civil rights and expect smart people to stick around. There are social and economic costs for bigotry. From the link:
(Madison, Wisconsin) Gay and lesbian faculty and staff at the University of Wisconsin-Madison say they might quit their jobs because of the state's passage of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions.

"I think that a lot of people are looking elsewhere," said Concha Gomez, an academic staff member in the mathematics department. Meeting Wednesday with about 100 concerned students, faculty and staff, UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley said the amendment makes it unlikely that Wisconsin's legislature will add health insurance benefits for domestic partners.

UW-Madison is the only school in the Big 10 that doesn't offer health insurance coverage for domestic partners - which puts the university at a competitive disadvantage in recruiting and retaining employees, he said.

Gomez said she started looking for jobs in other states the day after the amendment passed. She said she and her partner entered into a civil union in Vermont in 2000, but now they fear they have no legal rights in Wisconsin.
I hope that the citizens of states with laws and amendments limiting civil rights take heed over the next few years as resources and talented people abandon them. Somehow I know they won't.
What would this country look like today if all civil rights were left to the whims of the populace? Oh wait, we've had that, it was called the Jim Crow era.
