African American voters turned out in California in record numbers to support President-Elect Obama.

African American voters were, according to exit polls, the only ethnic demographic to have supported Prop 8. It lost among whites and was 50/50 among asians and latinos, but blacks lopsidedly favored it. Full citizenship for me but not for thee.

Oh well. We'll put a repeal initiative on the ballot and we'll keep hammering away until we win. Four years ago same-sex marriage was unthinkable radical crazy-talk, and now it's one voter in fifty away from winning. Bigotry is doomed.

And my kid, who was appalled when I told him what prop 8 would do, is eleven years from voting age. Never give up.
