Prop 8 post-mortem

Can I call it a post-mortem if it's analyzing why it passed? I just did.

Richard Kim's piece in The Nation is useful.
The easy, dangerous explanation for this gap, and one already tossed around by some white gay liberals in the bitter aftermath, is that people of color are not so secretly homophobic. But a more complicated reckoning--one that takes into account both the organizing successes of the Christian right and the failures of the gay movement--will have to take place if activists want a different result next time.
