Catching Ducks

We might be fighting losing battles. My supporting conservatism in a county in which Republicans get about 30% of votes, and you supporting gay marriage in a country that consistently gets about 30% of voters in favor. California Prop. 8 was the closest I've seen, in a state where 61% voted for Obama.

But, hey, I'm not changing my position, and I don't expect you to change yours, either.
 

Best of the Web Today notes that California blacks and Hispanics carried Prop 8 to victory, not whites and Asians:

California voters approved Proposition 8, 52% to 48%, even as they were giving President-elect Obama an overwhelming 61% of the vote. But exit polls showed a striking divergence in voting patterns between racial and ethnic groups:

White Californians backed Obama, 52% to 46%. But they voted against Proposition 8, 49% to 51%.
Blacks supported Obama by 94% to 5%. They supported Proposition 8, 70% to 30%. That is what prompted the Gay KK to come out in the streets of Los Angeles.
Hispanics and Asians alike were more pro-Obama than whites, giving him 74% and 64% respectively. Meanwhile 53% of Hispanics voted for Proposition 8, while Asians' vote was the same as whites, with 51% opposed.
Overall, however, Obama voters were against Proposition 8, 32% to 68%.
 

"We might be fighting losing battles."

I disagree (with my battle, anyway). My understanding is that the numbers of people supporting gay marriage have increased in the last decade.

I believe that it will happen. The only question is when.
 

I read something fairly recently that suggested that people's tolerance for homosexuality and support for the rights of homosexuals correlated with their belief that it is biological or that people are born "that way". People who believe homosexuality is a choice were much less likely to support homosexuals having the same rights as heterosexuals.
The article also said that hispanic and black Americans were more likely to believe homosexuality was a choice. The article didn't say whether political affiliation correlates as closely.
Now, if only I could find that article...
