Barack Obama Helps Defeat Same Sex Marriage in California
Well, hey, connect the dots from this story.
In a crushing defeat for gay rights proponents the election yesterday supported Proposition 8; a ban on gay marriage.
Gay marriage was legal for about a year, and as many as 18,000 couples got married. But this will stop as soon as the new law takes effect.
The results were close, but in the end the measure was passed with a vote of 52% in favor. The Associated Press noted that ethnic origin had an impact on support Proposition 8, with the most support coming from the black community.
So Obama mobilized the black community to vote and they voted more decisively for Prop 8 than all those limp-wristed white people.
Pauli,
ReplyDeleteFunny how these things work, isn't it? Likewise, Florida went for Obama but voted for an amendment that reinforces that marriage is between one man and one woman, therefore ruling out gay "marriage".
Right. As groups, blacks and gays have a really uneasy relationship. You can't really blame the blacks, what with gays claiming that their "plight" is a civil rights issue. There are so many things wrong with that, it's hard to know where to begin.
