A survey released Monday from the Pew Research Center indicates American support for same-sex marriage could be leveling off after several years of dramatic growth in acceptance of equal rights for gays and lesbians.

But the new poll released Monday found a 5 percentage point drop since February, from 54 percent to 49 percent, in Americans who want legal recognition for same-sex relationships. The percentage of those opposed increased during that same period, from 39 percent in February to 41 percent last month.

The poll of 2,002 adults, conducted Sept. 2-9, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. …

Yeah, the reality that all of this sound and fury was expended to the benefit of 1.7% of the population.

People are seeing more and more every day that gay marriage is just a tool for activists to further suppress Christianity and traditional values. Gay marriage is an oxymoron. Its and irrational construct. It is not just an affront to the Church but also an affront to biology. Men and Women evolved or were created (take your pick) to mate and form families together anything else is an aberration.
The state licensing gay marriage makes as much sense as the state licensing blind pilots. Its stupid. A lot of kids have difficulty with math do we give them math books to affirm their wrong answers to make them feel better?

Maybe people are realizing the diseases and the jackbooted homonazis are not things they want to embolden

Homosexuals’ obsession with sex shows they don’t have a life. Normal people behave normally, with an equilibrium to their lives. They don’t define themselves by their sex lives.

Yes, we aren’t “proud” of our heterosexuality. We don’t have parades about “straight pride”. Thank God for little favors.
