People with "Yes on 8" signs in their yard might as well have a sign that reads, "Hi - I'm a bigot! Yes on 8!"Many people in my old neighborhood in the west side of Long Beach had "Yes on 8" sign. This map shows Prop. 8 won in my old neighborhood. No Republican presidential nominee has won there since 1984.
Not only that, but Prop 8 actually won buy a slight margin (less than a percent) in LOS ANGELES COUNTY. If you look at a map of the area that voted “yes” is was the eastern part of the county from East La through to the County Line, as well as South Central LA and parts of the San Fernando Valley that were a little, uh, ethnic (IE Van Nuys). It lost in the “white” parts of LA County (Westwood, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, etc.).
