Blacks and Latinos seem unimpressed and not so willing to return the favor of their homo allies.
A bit of the ironic facts of life about Cal's Prop 8, which banned gay marriage by constitutional amendment.
Proposition 8 would have failed in the Golden State if it were up to white voters, who opposed it by a 51-49 ratio. What carried it over the top was enormous support from black voters, with about 70 percent of them backing it. Hispanics also supported the ban by significant, though smaller, margins...In other words, Obama had some major un-progressive coattails. The tidal wave of black and Hispanic voters who came out to support Obama voted in enormous numbers against what most white liberals consider to be the foremost civil rights issue of the day.
So next time PC gays and lesbians want to hate the Mormon bigots who stole their rights, remind them that it was people of color, Latinos for sure, but especially blacks, that they should hate.
Then listen to the sound of the crickets chirping for a minute before all the excuses start.
Gay marriage has gone down in flames by the electorate in 30 (!) states and in some of them same-sex unions of any kind are now banned.
Does the gay leadership not wonder if they need to change their strategy?
A change in gay leadership would be too much to hope for.
