Support for gay marriage reached a new high in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, marking a dramatic change in public attitudes on the subject across the past decade. Fifty-eight percent of Americans now say it should be legal for gay and lesbian couples to wed.
That number has grown sharply in ABC News/Washington Post polls, from a low of 32 percent in a 2004 survey of registered voters, advancing to a narrow majority for the first time only two years ago, and now up again to a significant majority for the first time.
Most Americans, moreover, say the U.S. Constitution should trump state laws on gay marriage, a question now before the U.S. Supreme Court. And – in another fundamental shift – just 24 percent now see homosexuality as a choice, down from 40 percent nearly 20 years ago. It’s a view that closely relates to opinions on the legality of same-sex marriage.
Intensity of sentiment about gay marriage also shows considerable change in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. In 2004, strong opponents outnumbered strong supporters by a broad 34 percentage points. Today strong supporters are ascendant, outnumbering strong opponents by 11 points.
CHANGE – Results of this survey extend evidence of a remarkable transformation in public attitudes. Views on basic social issues often move slowly, if at all. Support for gay marriage, though, has gone from 47 percent to today’s 58 percent in just the last three years – culminating a period of change first endorsed by some state courts, then by some political figures, notably with Hillary Clinton expressing support for same-sex marriage today, and Barack Obama doing the same last May, a position he went on to underscore in his second inaugural address in January.

Ok. Most people knows what happens when people choose hedonism over a civil society.
So be it.
I think people are just tired of being bombarded and have just basically thrown their hands up and said, “Get it over with.”
But the gay agenda isn’t just going to stop there, it’s just the beginning of their next assault.
I think it’s backlash from the appointing of a holy Pope.
Let’s pray
Let’s not underestimate the power of a brainwashing media and academia.
If the Media started to broadcast studies saying that Blacks were better off as Slaves, soon Hollywood would join in to support the idea. In no time, and majority of America (including Blacks) would support the re-imposition of Slavery. Guaranteed!
Hell Hilary has been “gay” for a long time.
This is the media’s effort to influence the Supreme Court in thee days leading up to the Prop 8 case. Most Americans reject homosexual marriage, polls to the contrary are fabrications.
I think the oldest, which are the most moral are dying off. They younger incoming adults have been indoctrinated by the MSM and schools to be the opposite. If anything, as my generation starts dying off, it will get even worse.
Dr. Bernard Nathanson details the deceptions, dirty tricks, and other tactics that helped make abortion legal and socially acceptable in the United States.
The First Key Tactic was to capture the media
We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal enlightened, sophisticated one. Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60% of Americans were in favour of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority.
Oh there’s absolutely an attempt to “normalize” homosexuality in the media and academe. I was involved in the latter and found it troubling.
I think it’s important that we start fighting back on a battlefield that we know: personal protection rights. I’ve been pushing for more people to open carry and to re-”normalize” firearms in the public sphere. Use the faggot’s own game against them. Force a SERIOUS public discussion on guns, something that’s long overdue, in my opinion.
You’re in denial. It’s really happening.
We (moral, God fearing and (trying) to obey The Ten Commandment people), will end up as only a fraction of the demographics. Probably in the 20s percentage-wise. Since the one Fibonacci number in the 20s is 21, that’s where I guess we’ll be. Not even one third. None of this should surprise Our Shepard’s flock.

Liberals oppose diversity.
Homosexuality is to sex what white supremacy is to race.
It’s sexual and gender segregation.
to me this is approximately the 324th most important issue facing the nation.
I am not sure that I believe these polls, but if true, we have indeed lost our country to this filth.
We don’t get to decide.
The stampede is on weeks before SCOTUS reviews the case. This poll is just more propaganda meant to influence the court. The Dems choreograph everything. They are helping us to “evolve” on the issue.
Gay “marriage”
I’ve said this before. Let the word “marriage” mean whatever the mob says. Adopt a phrase like “Holy Union between a Man and a Woman” to mean what Marriage used to mean. What was formerly a marriage certificate would be replaced by a “Certificate of Holy Union Between the man John Brown and the woman Susan Boyd”.
As far the various legal benefits of “marriage” are concerned, don’t’ worry about that unless certain types of marriage start receiving benefits above and beyond man-woman marriages.
Cant wait to see the results of the poll supporting Polygamy, Bigamy, Adult-child marriages, marriage between multiple men to multiple women at the same time, and man-animal marriage.
Because we now have moral ground to stand on because we are cool with two guys or two women being married, right?
The purpose of law that promotes homosexual ‘marriage’ is to persecute those that refuse to support and service homosexual behavior.
