Hey there,

I’ve seen that report as well but I think it is greatly flawed. I’m sure you are aware of the following story from a while back:

Poll: 46 Percent of Mississippi GOP Want to Ban Interracial Marriage.

I think that’s more in line with the real face of the GOP today. Maybe it is somewhere in between, but that’s still a hell of a lot of racists out there and goodness knows what else.

While young kids have no problems with it overall, and with gay marriage, there are still two generations or more living today in which many do see a problem with it and felt that they simply couldn’t express it without being completely ostracized. That is slowly changing within their age group, I fear.

Now I really do have to go and make that extremely late dinner (22:38 here in Israel). So perhaps the debate will wait for another time. =)
