A huge new report has been released which analyzes the Prop 8 campaign.
According to the report…
This report is a data-driven case study and analysis. It offers a wealth of new data about the Proposition 8 campaign in California. The data permit reconsideration of the conventional wisdom about Prop 8, and show that most of it is factually incorrect. This report also puts Prop 8 in context, and notes its remarkable similarity to other same-sex marriage campaigns. Prop 8 illustrates three patterns—two dysfunctional, one functional––that define much of the LGBT struggle with ballot measures since they first cropped up in the 1970s.
There’s a lot of important data that a lot of the LGBT community has been wrong about, not the least of which is the actual number of voters who are against us. Those who continually cite the fact that we only lost by 4 percentage points ignore the amount of voters involved in what seems like a small number. Watching the short video will give you an overview of what the report includes.
