(Disliking homophobia being SUPPOSEDLY decided and linked by race - which is why I posted the results shown and said "Take it for what it is" - in other words sounds like an excuse to me) but when NBC news had that segment on why Prop 8 failed, they showed these exit polls, but for some reason none where shown for white voters or voters by age...

When the law that defines marriage between only a man and woman passed here in 2006 it had ZERO to do with race, but I remember exit poll results showed that religion and 'protecting family values' had ALOT to do with the passing of that law - and of course the older the person the more likely they voted for that measure.

I see gay marriage happening sooner than later, and each election where such a law appears on the Oklahoma ballot I will vote in FAVOR to ALLOW it (Hopefully OTHERS in this state will give up the homophobic ideals too and SUPPORT those who want happiness with one they love)
