African American are pretty conservative at least in regards to religion and homosexuality.
Why do you suppose that is?
Don't know. I know it isn't a good comparison because one is a first world continent and the other is a third world continent but things like religion and superstition are taken far more seriously in Sub Saharan Africa than in Western Europe. In fact from what I know homosexuality really wasn't an issue in African countries I've visited... till Europeans arrived... Then the usual American hate mongers showed up. Now the Western media has pointed out Uganda as "antigay." It's a joke. I'm pretty sure if you go back 30 years ago there was not a big burning gay issue in the country.

The aftermath of the 2012 elections showed that more African-Americans support gay marriage than white people.
The aftermath of the 2012 elections showed African Americans aren't stupid. They knew once the hate mongers were done with the gays they would go back to attacking their food of choice. If you had been hanging out with African Americans for decades none of this would come as a surprise to you.
