October 6, 2008 by James Hipps · 1 Comment
It has been reported by CBS News Correspondent John Blackstone, that those campaigning in California for Proposition 8, which would again make gay marriage illegal, believe they’ll get a lot of unintentional help from Barack Obama on Election Day.
“We thank Barack Obama, even though he’s not supporting it, for helping us,” says Sonja Eddings Brown, of an anti-gay-marriage group called Protect Marriage. “We think it’s going to push us over the top.”
The belief is Obama will bring African-American voters out in record numbers. It is also believed the African-American voters are typically against same-sex marriage, as well as other GLBT issues.
