I think you ought to re-read the article. Key passage: "blacks favored Proposition 8 by a margin of 70 to 30." Of course, comparing a small sub-set of one race (white, born-again Christians) to an entire race (black) does really boost your argument, especially since most whites were against the prop. While you don't feel you know any homophobic blacks, I have known many (in addition, of course, to ones who are not). But it is hard to fathom how you can condemn strains of homophobia in one group and not another.
