[quote=Anonymous]Conveniently, as if I did it purposely?

Hip hop culture isn't brought up very often in the discussions I witness, no. Perhaps it comes up on message boards that are geared towards hip hop fans. Those kinds of boards are also more populated by male posters, and males of every race are more likely to be against same-sex marriage than women.

Nearly everyone who is against it in the discussions I witness is against it for religious reasons. These people also tend to be against hip hop and rap music, too, even if it's hip hop with a religious message. They're extremely conservative.

Educational level, political affiliation, and religiosity have all been found to be reliable predictors of a person's opposition/support of same-sex marriage. While I'm not denying that there are issues of homophobia and masculinity among the culture, I'd be interested if you could provide credible information that shows that those the masculinity issue is as big of a predictor (or even nearly as big of a predictor) among the voting population.  It is a huge problem that needs to be addressed, but it is being addressed, just not by everyone. There are issues with sexism, too. [/quote]
