Serious question about CFA and gay rights in general

FezzesAreCool

I've noticed that a lot of the pro-CFA pictures showing up on the internets have shown a lot of non-white people in lines at CFA.

Prop 8 in California was strongly supported by non-whites. 

Does anyone know why non-whites react this way to gay rights?* 

*I am in NO way making this a general statement about non-whites and their personal feelings towards teh geighs.  It's just something I've been noticing and I'm wondering if anyone knows.

I have no idea.

Are non-whites more religious in general?

This is a partial answer, but I did see a news report that a portion of the  Latino population leans against gay marriage as many are from devout Catholic backgrounds, and religion is still a strong component of their communities.

I believe some of this comes with church affiliation and encouragement in certain sects to uphold the "sanctity of marriage" by supporting (publicly) the values you believe in.  I understand that Sunday sermons can often encourage people within a community to patronize/boycott certain establishments to show their faith...especially in small/rural communities.  Sad.

It's really hard to answer this without sounding racist.  I am going to go with the prevalence of religion in other cultures, ethnicities, what have you. 

This is the most logical reason I can think of. I would think that the majority of non-believers/non-practicers or what have you would be caucasion just because there is less of a cultural tie there.*

*generally speaking that is
