Support for same-sex marriage has risen across the board in the last four years, new polling data shows, signalling a shift in the overall political and social views of Americans.
The new data, released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, shows a higher percentage of Democrats, Republicans, whites, minorities and people of all generations support same-sex marriage legalization....
Among voting groups, there has been an increase in support for same-sex marriage even among Republicans. Since 2008, Democrats have jumped in support from 50 to 65 percent; Republicans from 19 to 24 percent; and Independents from 44 to 51 percent....
The Pew data supports other recent polls showing acceptance of gay rights is becoming the new norm for Americans. A May Gallup poll showed a majority of Americans polled consider gay or lesbian relations morally acceptable.
The poll showed 63 percent of Americans believe gay relations writ large should be legal, with non-religious Americans, women, youth and Democrats more supportive of gay rights.
Government policy has also been shifting in favor of this new norm. This year not only saw the president's public announcement in support of gay marriage, but also the repeal of Don't' Ask, Don't Tell, leading to more open acceptance -- and even praise -- for gays, lesbians and bisexuals serving in the armed forces.

You have the coolest graphics, Sarge! I love this one.
Whoops, looks like two fewer jobs that were “saved or created.”
Whoah.. last 2 zots I’ve seen are so... Iron Maiden.. LIKE :D
Most of us were 'young skulls full of mush' at one time, but we all grew up and moved out of Mom and Dad's house to Realityville.
Those youngsters you speak of are going to be singing quite a different tune when they have young children of their own.
‘MOST’ will never understand :/
I can guarantee you that nearly every one of those children attends a left-liberal controlled public skool.
Yet another reason that my wife and I have been home schooling for our kids' entire lives. Liberal indoctrination centers turn your kids into fellow travelers.
Still bad-mouthing one of the nation's finest patriotic conservatives, I see.
Does your PDS just itch, or has it developed to the advanced, painful stage yet?
To: sickoflibs
Yeah, and you’re an idiot troll.

WTF this has become a nightmare.
My zot graphics are... eclectic. You might see IM, or plain lightning, or a chimera, or flames, skulls, Viking Kitties, or sometimes just a pretty abstract. Depends on my mood, LOL!
Hi, windbag, man you bring back great memories LOL.
You had to go back 30 months to find something on me. Here's something much more recent from you less than a year old. Enjoy :)
Comment Subtitle : 'Only a fool cant see that Sarah is running.' (Windbag)
Funny how even certified ruling class establishment RINOs like Karl Rove can see that Palin’s running, but some long-tenured Freepers can't.
It fairly boggles the mind.

HA-HA, Windbag's keen perceptions. Speaking of liberal lies.
Comment Subtitle :” It would be catastrophic if Sarah didn’t announce on Sept 3”(Windbag)
There's just too much hoopla going on about everything Sarah's been up to in the last week or so. Everything she's done has fueled the speculation that September 3rd is the big day. I don't think there's anything they can do to quell the anticipation now. …….
Can you imagine what's going to happen if she doesn't announce then? Heartbreak city all across the US, and a big “I told ya so” from all of her enemies and doubters.
It would be catastrophic, in my opinion.

catastrophic??? LOL, not to brain-dead zombies like you.
Comment Subtitle : “Sarah must announce on Sept 3”(Windbag)
Of all people, Sarah knows how much is riding on what she says on September 3rd. She knows that she can't just breeze through her speech without tackling the question head on. The pat answer, “I'm still considering it” will not fly in Indianola, and she knows it. ….
I'm sure that Sarah is looking at this, and has already realized that events have moved into such a position that she must announce on the 3rd, then shift into a whole new battle strategy.

You know it's not the same when you try to take me on all by yourself like now. Cowards like you usually attack in numbers 3 to 4 to one like you used to do regularly last year. It looks like your 'friends' took your advice above to heart and booked.
Thanks for the laugh :)
I love the variety ;)
Hey Sickly, I've always fought my own battles. I'm not one to ping a posse to a fight, and you know it. You just told a flat out lie about me. You want to talk about cowardice? The false bravado in your post above is a good example of it.
So are your continuing snide attacks on Sarah Palin, who has done more to energize and forward conservatives and our shared ideals, than you'll do in your entire cretinous lifetime.
The fact that after more than three years, you continue to sit there behind your keyboard, denigrating a fellow American who does more to support conservative causes in a week than most others do in a year, says much about your character.
It's petty. It's juvenile. And it serves the other side. I don't know if you do it for kicks, or if you've just painted yourself into a corner that you can't get out of without losing face. Whatever it is, it's not logical, reasonable, rational, or mature in any way. It's just destructive.
would seem tho, that once in an anonymous voting booth that queer issues are struck down everytime...
if we ever lose the secret ballot, or at least the belief of such, *then* these polling data will be more easily molded into the actual vote...
Thank you. I have a lot of fun finding the different graphics.
You and your zombie buddies refuse to admit the obvious because you think it sounds more romantic and can unite you, but the obvious is that my comments are not about her. its about YOU walking dead (well technically typing) zombies.
But since you like the other theme so much, why were you posting that it was Palin herself who was creating the expectations that she (Palin) hereself would formally announce Sept 3 ???, and that she WAS ALREADY RUNNING for POTUS (a month earlier) and only the blind like us didn't see it?
Now if someone else posted that Palin did that you would immediate attack them and accuse them of being a Palin hater. This is because the walking dead believe in NOTHING.
