of the men who view pornographic material every day or almost every day, 54 percent strongly agreed that gay and lesbian marriage should be legal, compared with around 13 percent of those whose porn-use patterns were either monthly or less often than that. Statistical tests confirmed that porn use is a (very) significant predictor of mens support for same-sex marriage, even after controlling for other obvious factors that might influence ones perspective, such as political affiliation, religiosity, marital status, age, education, and sexual orientation.The study was released just before Christmas and got almost no publicity.
The Communications Decency Act's anti-porn provisions might have been the last chance to keep this in check. There are still anti-obscenity laws on the books that might hurt some smut peddlers, but Bush pulled FBI agents off of prosecutions after 9/11 and Obama isn't enforcing them either.
