I was born in 1983...and though I come from Bush country, I just do not see many young lefties like I should on a college campus. One of my friends is a thoughtful young woman who enjoys attacking feminists.
Gen X and Y is the most pro-life.
It should be noted that socially, they also support gay marriage more, however.
Having more teens who believe they're gay being 'out' makes it more acceptable I believe. They are after all full of heart (not so much brains) and don't want to deny their friends something they think isn't an issue. More education on how allowing same sex marriage will damage children is needed. They'll come around when they understand it's not about denying two people that "love" each other marriage but it's about how the world works. Even if they're not religious I believe they'll understand the reason nature set up the world with mothers and fathers is because a child, whether girl or boy need both influences of male and female to become a well rounded person, which then leads to a well rounded society. Not just because "we hate gay people."
Interesting side note; my son at the age of 14 asked if he could spend the night at a girlfriend's house. All the kids would be there, boys and girls. I was ready for this one since it had become fashionable to allow this sort of party. Of course my answer was no. But she's gay he told me! LOL! I explained why and that was that except then a friend of his (boy) mother called me to explain that the girl was gay and therefore nothing to worry about! (This woman claimed to be a republican!) And this woman's sister is gay so of course she's more knowledgeable than me.
I laughed out loud over the phone, then I realized she was serious. I had to slowly explain that a girl aged 13 couldn't possibly know if she were gay (she had sex with both and knows for sure at 13?!), the mom insisted they know these days and it would be fine. Finally had to tell her my job wasn't to put my child into situations that could possibly life threatening, i.e., rape accusations, pregnancy, STD's, no matter how sure this 13 year old is she's gay. The mom said she didn't realize I was such a fuddy duddy, I proudly stated I am.
What happened a couple of years later? The girl discovered she wasn't gay after all. The poor thing was looking for attention as I later learned her parents were even more flaky than the republican mom that called me.
