It really breaks the mold when groups turn out to vote in numbers they never have before. Like socially conservative african americans - who are OK applying "separate but equal" doctrine to homosexuality with prop 8, and don't see it as a civil rights issue because gays can choose the closet.
Actualy, if you look at the exit polls you will see that it was no one "group" of people. Simply a graduated line with age. Old people have not got it yet, young people (mostly) have.

Yes, that's right. There was no one group.
That's why I said "groups".
See?

My only point is that it's silly to assume that obama voters think gay marriage is awesome.
groups of people vote differently. that's all. still think that's a myth?
