I don't really get the "I didn't make an informed and principled decision" defense. Although for many people it is no doubt true.

If you didn't think, feel, deliberate in any meaningful fashion before acting, maybe you deserve to lose your job.

I'm much more sympathetic to someone saying, "I thought hard about this, and I decided to support Prop 8." But what we see are people who are trying to please both sides--their "gay friends" and their church leaders.
