Clearly the fault of those damn Christianists and redneck GOPers. I say this in jest but the Times seems to offer that as an explanation:
The bill was defeated by a decisive margin of 38 to 24. The Democrats, who have a bare, one-seat majority, did not have enough votes to pass the bill without some Republican support, but not a single Republican senator voted for the measure. Still, several key Democrats who were considered swing votes also opposed the bill.
......
The state’s Roman Catholic bishops, who had actively lobbied against the bill, said they were pleased by the vote.
Much like it's the Republicans fault that the Dems have to bribe each other to pass health care, it's the Repukes fault that gay marriage failed.
