They're kinda close but kinda far as well, supporting an anti-gay candidate may be because
* you have the same views on the subject
* you are not aware of his views (but you can be criticised for lack of due diligence)
* you are aware of his views but support him for other reasons
* you are aware of his views but absolutely don't want the other guy (similar but not identical to 3, you're not supporting a specific candidate so much as supporting anyone other than a candidate)
Of these, only #1 is close to the prop8 situation.
