Will the Prop 8/gay marriage in CA vote breakdown affect relations between blacks and gays? (thought, polls)

[Shelby61]

Exits polls found that 70% of black people voted against gay marriage.

Just the black gays. They're going to have issues with themselves.

Hispanics voted similarly (I believe they were at 60%)....Whites were the only group that voted for gay marriage.

I don't think it will, necessarily...but I do know there are movements already to overturn it. I really don't see this thing lasting, even though it was voted in...though I'm not sure what's involved in overturning something like this. (Not my area of expertise...)

But I doubt it will affect relations between the two. I don't think it's necessarily being thought of in that way. There are plenty of whites too who voted Yes on 8.

It will end up in the courts and found unconstitutional.

True but many gay people voted for Obama in part to help end discrimination against black people. It seems there are a few gay Californians feeling betrayed.
