California Proposition 8 Sparks Gay-Black Divide?
Wanda Sykes Comes Out at The Gay & Lesbian Center of Southern Nevada’s Stand OUT for EQUALITY rally Nov. 15, 2008
ABC News exit polls found that blacks voted in support of Prop 8 and to ban gay marriage by heavier margins than other ethnic groups. The exit polls indicated that 70 percent of black voters supported Prop 8, while 49 percent of whites and Asian Americans voted for it and 53 percent of Latinos supported the ban.
Some charged that socially conservative blacks were responsible for the demise of gay marriage. Others said that largely white gay advocacy groups didn’t do enough to persuade them.
And many blacks say that gay groups — in six legal challenges — have unjustly labeled their cause a civil rights issue.
The debate will rage on……

If gay is the new black then baby rape is the new Latino after all is a sexual pervert gay is born that way then so are the perverts that rape kids.
NO! Blacks are born black. Gay is a choice just like all sin is a choice, just like all sexual perversion is a choice. When a white man can enter prison & change his skin color to be black just as straight men enter prison & change their sex perversion to have sex with men then this article will make since. until then it’s just a bunch of sex addicts trying to pretend that they are normal.
