You make a good point. I believe a majority of blacks voted against gay marriage, but it was VERY close. The number of blacks who voted for was enough for the referendum to fail. Honestly, I think Obama coming out in support caused a seismic shift on that issue, at least in Maryland. I remember seeing polls that showed an 18 point swing in support among blacks after Obama made his announcement.
Nevertheless, there is still a significant amount of opposition. And the ones that are against it are VERY vocal in their opposition. There was a very large rally in Michigan a few weeks ago by blacks denouncing the federal court decision that struck down that state's gay marriage ban.
