re: #61 Olsonist

Yes, there’s a strong SoCon element in the black church.

There are a lot of Black churches, all quite varied.

It was probably decisive in passing Prop 8, although the opposition did a piss poor job.

Nah, not a lot of Blacks in the Mormon and Catholic denomintions…especially not compared to traditionally Black ones. Still, we’re scapegoated for it. We don’t have the numbers (less than 7% of the population) to turn an election like that.

BTW, that myth was debunked by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force as soon as it came out.

Also, here is the county map for the Prop Hate vote. Not a lot of Blacks in those 70%+ counties.
