Support for same-sex marriage in the United States is at an all-time high of 60 percent, a new poll showed Tuesday as the Supreme Court gears up to weigh in on the issue.
The rate of support rose five percent from last year, and is at its highest since surveys began to address the matter in 1996, pollsters Gallup said in a statement

Yep. They keep claiming this vast sea change in opinion yet don’t seem to have the courage to try another run at ballots.
It wouldn’t matter to me if I were the only one still holding to the societal and Biblical mandate.
I’d “die in it at the stake”. —Much Ado....
If they do pass it they totally transform our “Justice” System to a Vice System.
Democracy (majority tyranny of minorities) is NOT our form of government and our Justice System is based on Right Reason and Natural Law—not irrational, unnatural, vile uses of the human body.
We are a Constitutional Republic and as such we go by Rule of Law—”Higher Law” than, Rule of Man. Forcing an irrational, vile vice on the masses and normalizing it “for the children” will flip 3000 years of “ethics” to the Satanic Ethics of Afghani harem boys which is totally unconstitutional and replaces our Constitution with a fascist one.

Interesting comments from the justices. Some predictable, some not so much.

Not to mention the fact that in 2012 NC was exactly where 2000 CA was on ‘gay marriage’ per the actual voting public, only 61% for actual marriage. That’s something that would have gotten you called crazy had you predicted that in 2000. Then in 2008 CA only managed to pass prop. 8 by 52%, losing 9% in 8 years on ‘gay marriage.’ Lots of conservatives are stuck in 2005 and somehow think that the popular votes passed in the middle of the last decade are somehow locked in stone and would never be changing.

It’s because this opinion poll wasn’t done state by state, and there are huge swings by state when you look at the actual voting results on this issue. The states that would repeal their amendments by popular votes now have already had them overturned by judges. And the states that passed them in 70-80% ranges in the middle of the last decade that still have them per our black robed masters wouldn’t pass them by as much, but would still pass them easily.

Vice President Palin completely agrees.
May as well put down the number of Americans who support unicorns and married bachelors....both also non-existent notions.
The article failed to note that bert is still agin’ it
Toothpaste. It’s out of the tube.
Every person under 30 supports it, even some of the more religious people. They may not want it for THEMSELVES but they are ok with other people having it.
It’s over so we should focus on the general rights of everyone INCLUDING CHRISTIANS because right now, Christians are subject to more hate and prejudice in this country than gays. Every third TV show has a beloved gay character. Not a single show has a practicing Protestant Christian. The last one was the Preacher on 7th Heaven. You know, the one who had sex with 12 year olds and confessed to it??
supreme court justices recently made a comment suggesting that if opinion has changed this much, maybe it would be wiser to allow gay marriage to become law by normal means. (by voting)
Be careful what you wish for. Gay marriage would pass a national referendum.
Lies.
The activists ran to every city council in the state of Michigan and urged them to write special gay rights protections into their ordinances and urged them to sue the state for continuing to fight.
Every black run city council in the state said NO. Detroit, Flint, Ypsilanti, Benton Harbor, all said NO. Its a major part of why Michigan still stands without gay marriage.
We don’t do national referendums.

More lies. To get at how this round of lies was inferred, the analysis needs bias adjustment for the large volume of non-responses, the vast part of which are people that don’t support homosexuality or who don’t want to be bothered with non-stop news of deviant sexual choices.
Even if all citizens supported same-sex marriage, it remains that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect such marriage. So state lawmakers are hypothetically still free to make laws which prohibit constitutionally unprotected same-sax marriage.
Eh, I’m wary of polls.
But even if it’s true, it just proves to me what a sick, degenerate sewer of a nation this has become. Confirming my suspicions.
38 states have already amended their state constitutions, passed state legislation, held state voter referendums to uphold tradition marriage.
It is the federal courts for the most part that are overturning the will of the people and their state legislatures in many of the 38 states that move to uphold traditional marriage.
