seriously doubt there is one state that would now pass a marriage amendment by the same or more than it originally did.

The irony is that while acceptance of gay marriage is increasing among whites to include even white conservatives, opposition remains strongest in minority communities that traditionally vote Democrat. Liberals don't like to talk about this.

Would gay marriage pass today in California? Most likely it would but as the state increasingly becomes majority latino and immigrant, the Left may find some pushback that they won't be able to blame on white Baptist Trump voters.

Prop.8 passed by 52% in 2008 I think. In 2000 CA passed prop.22 by 61% or so. So the issue lost around 9% of support in 8 years in CA. If that trend remained steady a marriage amendment would only get around the low 40% ranges in support in CA today. I bet the trend actually accelerated though.

Not sure about the actual minority impact on this issue. Sure they don’t seem to like it, but so far I’m not sure there is anything concrete that can be pointed to a result of them acting on that dislike for the gay agenda.

Some traditional groups figured supporting any type of pervert relationship structure might end the public restroom problems (it won’t).
