Agreed.

At one time, there was an overwhelming consensus that marriage should be a man and a woman. Even many liberals voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

Today, even many younger conservatives, while conservative on other issues, are in favor of homosexual marriage.

Agreed that if states were to vote again on marriage today, the results would be different in a number of states.

We saw a preview of this in 2012, when voters in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington state approved homosexual marriage at the ballot box.

If popular votes were held again on the issue, I don’t think there is one state that would pass their amendment by more than they did originally. In some cases I think it would pass by much less or fail outright.

When most of those amendments passed 10 years or so ago by such wide margins, I think a lot of conservatives thought that those votes would be remaining static.
