Is "Fck H8" relevant to this page, or no? --TheLateGatsby (talk) 21:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Racial component

There was apparently a racial component to this campaign. Many black Californians supported the proposition, which was significant (though this guy points out: "it passed by more votes than there were Black voters"). It may be relegated to almost a historical curiosity at this point, since in the acceding years many in the black community would reconsider their positions on gay rights. I believe there was also an incident where Dan Savage said something racist or other in response to the result, which may be in-character.

Oh yeah, also the Church of Scientology apparently supported the amendment. I think California is their home base or something, so that could have been significant. Chillpilled (talk) 14:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
