I think that part of it is that they’re losing ground. Most Americans, regardless of their political or religious views, are really not that distressed at the thought of two grown people of the same sex having sex.

Everyone is against pedophilia and bestiality. It’s a much easier argument to make.

It’s an easier argument, but it’s also a fucking stupid one. Children and animals are incapable of giving consent, so it’s a moot point. Plus, most people are rightly offended and outraged when a child is harmed. The chances of either paedophilia or bestiality becoming legal are less than zero.

Hell, even polygamy and polyamory won’t catch on here, just because we’ve had centuries of socialization to accept relationships as part of a couple. Marriage as a legal contract is between two people. Neither of those things will change anytime soon.
