The polling firm Latino Decisions (click here) has been tracking Latino voter attitudes in the run-up to the 2012 election for some time now, and the latest temperature check deals with what’s referred to as “DREAM-light,” a yet-to-be-introduced alternative to the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act that is being floated by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
The poll also checks the temperature on Latino voters’ support for President Obama vs. GOP nominee-apparent Mitt Romney, although there’s no surprise there: As several other recent polls have indicated, Latino voters continue to favor Obama, even in spite of Obama’s recent statement in support of same-sex marriage and some Latinos’ social conservatism.

I am quite certain there are Latinos and Latinas belonging to the LGBT community and their parents support their dream to be married to the person they love. The Same Sex Marriage dream is not exclusively caucasian or African Americans. The Hispanic have a long history of deep religious vigilance, but, in the USA there is freedom, education and understanding beyond the precepts of religion.


The publication featuring the article above is from "MULTI-AMERICAN." It is a California publication. It also has an interesting dialogue about the plight facing this populous (click here).
