The Latino community in California is sharply divided along Catholic-Protestant lines when it comes to Proposition 8, a new poll finds.
A majority of Latino Catholics, 57 percent, say they would vote to allow same-sex marriage in their state of California, according to the poll released Wednesday by the Public Religion Research Institute. In contrast, only 22 percent of Latino Protestants say they support allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry.

The Latino population makes up 36.6 percent of California's population, according to the 2008 U.S. Census Bureau statistics.
