Black people are only 6% of the population of California. Not all 6% are even eligible to vote, nor registered, or did actually vote. Even if ALL 6% did show up and vote YES, how are they responsible for the overwhelming 94% of the rest of California’s Yes vote? Last time I checked the math, 6% is way less than 94%.

Yet and still, 30% of those voters voted NO. So that even reduces your faulty numbers to 4% of the ACTUAL votes. There is a difference between ACTUAL number of votes that counted and looking at PERCENTAGES of eligible voters within a specific population – who is less than 6% of the total population.

We know homophobia exists in the Black community and it is inextricably intertwined with religion. Yes, homophobia in the Black community should be challenged. Nevertheless, homophobia in the Black community did not tip the YES vote in any major way as you would like to believe, no more than the Black vote could’ve pushed Obama into office (less than 13% of the US population).

The truth is White people are still the majority, albeit shrinking, but still the majority. Their vote determines most of the outcomes. However, there is a much larger culprit behind Prop 8 and that is religious institutions who push hatred to everyone – and you racist who revel in this are simply racist. You will fade away just like the rest of the bigots.

America will CHANGE.

Not all democrats are for gun control. I am a democrat but I believe as long as someone is able, physically, mentally, AND has no criminal record that would bar them from possessing a gun, they SHOULD be allowed to have one if they so wish.

Also, fair criticism here, but what is the source for 27 percent of gay voters were for McCain? As far as I am concerned, the only LGBT people who were for McCain are “Log Cabin” Republicans. They make up about 2 percent of the LGBT people involved or interested in politics. That’s what I heard, but I could be wrong, please give me the source.

Also, yes you are right, there are many communities within the gay community just like there are many communities among straight people. But when mentioning “the gay community” we mean gays as a whole.

I do agree with you on one thing however, there should be no blame against other minorities for the passage of proposition 8. Simply because, it is no one’s fault, the only entity that should take the blame if misinformation and misunderstanding. The homophobic/anti-gay/homosexual-opposing people are victims of it and they have a lot of healing to do.
