Interesting Election Result

Proposition 8, the Californian Constitutional Amendment that would dis-allow gay marriage in California, and effectively annul 18,000 marriages was narrowly approved on Tuesday.
One very interesting point of the exit polls showed that a majority of white voters opposed it.
However, over 70% of black voters voted for the ban. That overwhelming percentage, combined with the huge numbers of black voters voting this time around spelled success for the ban and spelled doom for the thousands of gay and lesbian married couples.

So, if, like some, you believe gay and lesbian issues to be civil rights issues, then what they had in California was the culmination of a civil rights dream, an African American in the White House, that directly resulted in the destruction of another civil rights dream.

Just one of those things that make you go "hmmmmmm"
