Some of that is due to the largest , consistent, voting block is older, conservative and evangelical voters.. The younger people in this country were brought up on gay acceptance and they generally don't vote or take it less serious.
Gay acceptance is growing. It is a fact. A friends son is in the Army and his son said the younger soldiers don't care about the gays in the military as much while the older ones generally do. Just the way it is.
It's beyond "don't care about the gays". I saw plenty of batsh!t crazy liberals on facebook who are not gay (and do not want to get married, themselves) who are adamant in their support for same sex marriage. Now why are they such STRONG proponents for this change to the institution of marriage when they themselves shrug and say "not for me!".
There’s no doubt people say the accept it more because it’s too detrimental to say other wise. However when it counts they do not vote for gay marriage. And youth will always be more liberal and accepting of things out of the main stream or norm. When they get older and have kids that changes.

I’ve also been seeing an increase (especially from some smaller touring musicians) who say “I don’t want any political debates on my feed” and then who say “I WILL unfriend you if you differ from my views”. ZERO tolerance for dissent and THEY claim it is the fault of “the Tea Party” (never instigated divisiveness from MoveOn, et al).
These liberals are free to block or unfriend whoever they want. But they are not content to just take such action over words you may post to THEIR page, they will do it if you post to your own or a friend’s page.
I can sit back an observe the growing intolerance from the Left. The anti-Christian rants about monkey-Christ and superstitions (but they still hold a soft spot for muslims). Stalinists lied about their love for Man, too.
This is an Orwellian nightmare. I’m still sizing up the people around me. Being a fly on the wall has its advantages.
Polling is flawed on this issue for a number of reasons, usually trending much higher for ‘gay marriage’ than the actual general votes have shown. But if you look at the amendments—when they passed, by how much and if the state is generally conservative or liberal the trend isn’t too positive in my opinion. For instance, liberal Hawaii passed it’s amendment by 69% in ‘98 at the start of the process, while fairly conservative NC passed its amendment by 61% in 2012.

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.
