In the August 2010 issue of Details magazine, Mr. MacFarlane answered a question about the freedom to marry:

"Details: Family Guy tackled the freedom to marry in its fourth season—two years before Prop 8.

"Seth MacFarlane: The ridiculous thing about something like Prop 8 is that it will be overturned. They put something like $40 million into that campaign, and they might as well have just bet all that money on the Red Sox. It's wasted money because that civil-rights battle will be won eventually. They'll just have to sulk in a corner and accept the fact that gays will be able to marry each other. Every civil-rights conflict—black people, women—comes to an end in the right way."  [Link]
