Here on Bay Area talk radio this subject has been discussed ad naseum since the elections. Black listeners state that they voted for Prop 8 because "homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of God" and that they are offended by the suggestion by gays that this is a "civil rights" issue - absolutely, unequivocally, offended by those labeling "gay marriage" as a "civil rights issue."

How dare gays equate gay marriage with civil rights?
