You can be sure he lost many Christian black votes with this
It’s obvious he’s been making a cold calculation that this helps him more than it hurts him. I am not a pro at prognosticating, but I think he’s miscalculated. But then, we don’t know the truth about how much his “base” of fruits and nuts has eroded. If, as other posters suggest, he’s having trouble with the Hollyweird gays, then this was a necessary step.
Wrong. He did not lose a single one. The church ladies who might themselves vote against gay marriage also vote for left-wing lunatic black politicians who rabidly support it--and abortion and child molesting and God knows what else. It makes absolutely no difference to them.
