Record Number of Americans support Gay Marriage

Postby The Progressive Society » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:55 pm

Finally America is becoming less and less backwards, a new poll from MSNBC claims that 58 percent of Americans support marriage equality, http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/03/18/american ... ew-record/.
This is a major increase from the 32 percent who supported it in 2004. Thoughts, opinions?

Why is this for the better? Marriage as an institution at least in this nation has degraded so greatly that the ability for homosexual same sex couples to get married can hardly be called an accomplishment. If anything it speaks to growing apathy about anything more than support of "civil rights"?

What, so people are only allowed to think about one thing at a time?

It's a great thing that people are finally losing their prejudices.

Because gays care about marriage more than straights. Allowing them to marry will probably decrease divorce rates.

What? Can you back up this claim?

Look at the intolerance at my views, hypocrites everywhere.

Nothing new.

I don't see why you care if people of the same gender who love each other want to get married. What effect does it have on you? How does it hurt you in any way? It's like saying two blonde people can't get married just because of their hair color.

What could explain this sudden shift in American opinion about gay marriage? More major media outlets are catching on to the issue and are telling Americans what to think?

Typical NSG News is Typical.

More Americans supporting gay marriage is nothing new.

(and they'll be the obvious responses like how it is on NSG)

so all in all nothing new.

Easily. When was the last time you saw straight people marching down the streets of New York shouting about marriage?

That's a good question, and Im sure the media has a small role, but I think people are just becoming more open minded.
