Banning gay marriage - it's a white thing

I made a handy-dandy table here, which I think you all might find interesting.




This table, like any presentation of data, simplifies the exit-poll information. In particular, it fails to distinguish between large and small differences. Most of these differences were quite small, with some exceptions; for instance, Latinos in Ohio were substantially less likely than anyone else to vote Yes.

However, I think the simplification here serves a useful purpose. It helps lay to rest one of my least favorite lies from the religious right: the notion that African American and Latino voters, because of a supposed "family" orientation, are more anti-gay than whites.
