From Fox News Latino:
Political experts say Latinos mirror the changes in attitude toward gay and lesbian
issues that have occurred over the decades in the general population. "Gay advocates
have been very successful in showing gay marriage as something that strengthens the
family rather than destroys the family," said Luis Desipio, a political science professor
and expert on Latino issues at the University of California Irvine. "They've showed
gay marriage as reaffirming family values, which is something that Latinos are close
to."
