Alabama, Where Same-Sex Marriage Remains Deeply Unpopular

If that was true, then why did droves of black voters take a stance contrary to the preaching of the Democrat liberal theology and vote for establishing marriage in California as between a man and a woman (later overruled by California Supreme Court and the Ninth Circus Court).

I have heard/read this canard expressed before about the black slice of the U.S. population pie being opposed to homosexual marriage. The opposition supposedly comes from the black churches. That may have held water 7 years ago, but there has been a major earthquake since the election of BHO. If the black churches were so influential, why haven't they put a dent into the black illegitimate birth rate which currently stands at 72% nationally? It was around 33% in 1960.

We are being inundated with local liberal news coverage in Birmingham of homosexual couples, many black, going to the Jefferson County courthouse to apply for marriage licenses. The JeffCo probate judge's office is issuing the licenses. Birmingham is 72% black and the city government reflects that. The eastern bedroom communities to BHM are predominately white, prosperous and GOP. BHM is a socialist hell hole. The only outcry from the black churches we ever hear in BHM is about white privilege/racism. Yes, many blacks >55 years of age, like whites, are opposed to homosexual marriage, but the younger generations don't see it that way and there are more of them than there are senior citizens.
