The bad news in this election...
Congratulations, California. Slightly more than half of you are disgusting, hateful bigots who should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
Likewise for all the voters everywhere who, this election or in any other, voted to ban gay marriage or adoption by gay couples, or who agree with such bans in other states. You disgust me.

Although, I tend to agree to a degree with your second statement, you're assuming that everyone in this group (A) thought about it; or (B) knew about it. As hard as it is to believe for you or I, there are people who are generally uninformed about contemporary politics, and many of them don't have any plans or desire to remedy that. I have a sister like that. The other voted for the first time this year, and I am quite proud of that. Therefore, I'm still not convinced that one can say that everyone who didn't vote on the proposition were even apathetic, because to be apathetic, you have to know what the issue is, at least in general.
Not everyone cares as much as you do about a given issue. I've had to accept this on a whole slew of issues that I am passionate about. Hell, I even had to accept it when I decided who to vote for this year.

P.S. The only proposition I voted on this year was the annual Fairfax County funding for more parks. I voted "yes." Anything to keep what's left of the county from being a parking lot.
