Proposition 8 passed in California, defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Who backed it? People like these:

There are so many other groups in the exit polling that voted for Prop 8 overwhelmingly (as in, more than 60%):

   * The elderly (65+)
   * Republicans
   * Conservatives
   * People who decided for whom to vote in October (but not within the week before the election)
   * People who were contacted by the McCain campaign
   * Protestants
   * Catholics
   * White Protestants
   * Those who attend church weekly
   * Married people
   * People with children under 18
   * Gun owners
   * Bush voters
   * Offshore drilling supporters
   * People who are afraid of a terrorist attack
   * People who thought their family finances were better now than 4 years ago
   * Supporters of the war against Iraq
   * People who didn’t care about the age of the candidates
   * Anti-choicers
   * People who are from the "Inland/Valley" region of California
   * McCain voters

So who best to blame for delivering this seemingly rather clear message to those who support ‘same-sex’ marriage’?

Why, of course, those uppity blacks:

Although many of the state’s black political leaders spoke out against Proposition 8, an exit poll of California voters showed that black voters favored the measure by a ratio of more than 2 to 1.

Not only was the black vote weighted heavily in favor of Proposition 8, but black turnout — spurred by Barack Obama’s historic campaign for president — was unusually large, with African Americans making up roughly 10% of the state electorate.

Maybe the real problem for the same-sex marriage proponents is that out of some 22 million eligible voters in California, fewer than five million people voted No against Proposition 8?
