re: #469 cliffster

Has there been a single state where a gay marriage was voted down? How soundly was a gay marriage ban passed in… CALIFORNIA??

People are far more supportive of gay rights than they were just 20 years ago. Gay marriage is inevitable; that will be here too one day. Blowing the dogwhistle about gay marriage isn’t a winning election strategy any more—and gay panic or homophobia no longer plays, in an era when even if people don’t know anyone gay, they now think of gay people as “that nice fellow on Will and Grace”.

Even among young evangelical Christians, they’re far more accepting of gay people now than their parents were.
