I voted against this, though I knew it was futile.
From what I've honestly seen? It's not so much the bible belt but the Mexicans who were the staunchest supporters of this. I've grown up in an area of +90% mexican population, and while there were half a dozen gay men (in a graduating class of a mere 250), not one mexican family were supported of homosexuality.
Now I dont doubt that whites (and other races) supported this, as seen by the overwhelming voting. However to simply point to the bible belt and blame them solely is simply blinding yourself. Mexicans are now the majority in Texas, and it doesnt surprise me that this passed.
