Public opinion is changing (I wouldn’t characterize it as an evolution) in that sense.

Sexual attitudes are always in a state of flux. The definition of marriage has changed innumerable time in the past.

The only constant is change.

“Sexual attitudes are always in a state of flux. The definition of marriage has changed innumerable time in the past. The only constant is change.”

You give me an opportunity to expound.
The definition of marriage has never changed to man/man or woman/woman at any time in the past. Not even ancient Greece in its decline had gay marriage. Asking little children to give up a mother or father because of the lifestyle preferences of homosexuals or lesbians or narcissistic heterosexuals is thoroughly selfish. People are not seriously considering the long-term ramifications of such a radical redefinition; they just want to live in a world with no sexual restrictions without considering the grave hardships imposed by such a world. We’re already coping with some of the destruction wrought by the sexual revolution. Sex outside of marriage is no longer taboo, so illegitimate babies grow up in poverty because adults want the right to make lifestyle choices. Children are denied mothers or fathers because feminists pushed through easy divorce in the 1970s. It empowers women, after all. There are radicals who want to destroy marriage altogether. Radical feminists, for example, want to overturn the so-called “patriarchy”.
Here’s a quote from Michelangelo Signorile from “Out” magazine, Dec/Jan, 1994, page 1-D. He advocates:
“fight(ing) for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefin(ing) the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society’s moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution that as it now stands keeps us down. The most subversive action lesbians and gay men can undertake - and one that would perhaps benefit all of society - is to transform the nation of “family” entlrely.”

I was substitute teaching the 4th grade one day in my area, and the kids had to write a story about what they wished for. Here’s part of the outline of what one little boy wrote, beginning with the title.

“I wish I could live with my father.
1. I could play more games.
2. football, baseball
3. I could be with Josh, David and Michael.”
There were 2 other reasons that I did not get time to write down.
“The End”

This is so plaintif. When will adults stop with their narcissistic “redefinitions”?
