11. Half of African Americans would still vote against gay marriage in 2017.

Support was only 4% higher than Republicans in that poll. I'm guessing it's higher among AA men than AA women.

African Americans. Blacks have long been less supportive of same-sex marriage when compared with whites, but the share of African Americans who favor same-sex marriage has risen 12 percentage points since 2015, from 39% to 51%.

It sucks to be fighting for people who won't fight for you in return but I won't stop.
