Yes on 8 Statistics

By prop8 on March 17, 2009 1:30 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
Hello everybody-

Here are some statistics to think about regarding people that voted in favor of Prop 8. These facts were presented by http://www.eqca.org.

1.     Political Ideology.

a.     22% of liberals voted YES

b.     82% conservatives voted YES

2.     Religion

a.     Those who worshipped once/week - 70% YES

b.     Less than once/week - 38% YES

                                                                 i.     Catholic - 55% YES

                                                                ii.     Protestant - 66% YES

                                                              iii.     Jewish - 17% YES

                                                              iv.     NO religion - 30% YES

3.     Age

a.     Under 65 - majority voted NO

b.     60+  - 65% YES

4.     Gender

a.     Women 49% YES

b.     Men 54% YES

c.      Men with school age children - 60% YES

5.     Race

a.     White - 50/50

b.     African-American and Latino - 58% YES

c.      Asian - 47% YES


Interesting. Pretty diverse, I'd say. I think it is interesting that less Catholics supported the measure than Protestants. Either way, it is obvious that frequent worshippers were more prone to supporting the proposition.

Back on the Ballot?

By prop8 on March 12, 2009 2:42 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
Though the California Supreme Court has 90 days to decide Prop 8's fate after the March 5th hearing in San Fransisco, rumor has it that the court is leaning towards upholding the proposition, claiming that it cannot overrule the majority vote. Nothing is set in stone yet.

Opponents of Proposition won't go down without a fight. Wed. March 11, 2009, opponents were given the right to start collecting signatures to put a new measure on the ballot. The new measure will require the words "domestic partnership" to replace the word "marriage" in the California State Law, while upholding the same rights of marriage. 

This would apply to all married couples and also repeal a provision in California's constitution that  recognizes marriage to only be valid between a man and a woman. 

This seems sneaky to me, but if opponents can gather around 700,000 signatures by August 6th, 2009 it will show up on the ballot. I commend them on the battle, but something tells me that this is going to anger a lot of people. It is a very unusual way to go about fighting Prop 8.

Thoughts?

Stay tuned as Prop 8 Films documents!
