Although gays comprise a small percentage of the population, gays make more money per capita, hold influential jobs (Hollywood, Silicon valley) and strongly vote Dem. But more importantly, doctrinaire Leftists consider ‘gay rights’ tantamount to the civil rights movement of the 60s, and they are willing to take a ‘principled’ stand on this issue. The Latinos and Black groups are firmly planted on the Dem plantation and will follow directives by their elite, gay-sympathizing betters. Becoming a Republican for CA Latinos and Blacks is a fate worse than death.
They ran right off the plantation to vote against gay marriage.
I disagree that this is about Latino or Black politicians on “the plantation.” Plenty of them sincerely agree with the gay civil rights agenda. For those minority Democrats who don’t personally like that agenda, going along is a small price to pay; more than repaid by monied white liberals providing lock-step support for affirmative action, tax increases to cover high government spending, and the illegal alien welcome mat.
I wonder if any of these legislatures had a son raped by a homosexual, if they would then be so in favor of this policy?
CA is lost. I don’t know how long God will withhold His judgment from that state. I can’t believe the whackos who run it and the people who vote for them. Its too much to fathom.
