As long as the expansion of rights is done through the legislature, Im okay with it. The next layer of the onion is going to be the intensity of the feeling. As an example, lets assume the 50 approve...
Why are so few of the leading dems still publicly opposed to gay marriage? Will this change in 2012/14/16 (and, if it does, would that accelarate increases in support among Hispanic and African Ameri...
On the other hand, a 45-year-old father in Austin, TX murders his 18-year-old daughters girlfriend and the girlfriends mother because he opposed the two young womens relationship. We have a long way ...
I would be interested in an analysis by date of birth (as opposed to age) regarding this issue. It is my guess that those who were young in the 1940s and 1950s may support gay marriage the least. The...
"Whenever a position is gaining ground, its newly won support is often tentative and can be pealed away..." and " past trends, of course, are no guarantees of future ones".etc. I noti...
Exactly, who are you polling? I have never been asked this question, nor my friends. So, Im curious where you are polling.
Welcome to the 21st century! (10 years late)
Nate: If I recall correctly, you once calculated a timeline predicting the year each state would approve gay marriage. It would be interesting to see your update of that timeline and comments on any ...
This would seem to beg the question: When will Democrats in general and Obama in particular come strongly out in favor of gay marriage, an issue that both their base and independent voters support. T...
With all the other overwhelming problems this society is facing, gay marriage is a mere distraction. Im gay and could care less. I care more about getting these Hooligans out of the Congress, make ba...
Isnt this a state by state issue too? This seems like it could have a larger or smaller effect on both Obamas re-election and ballot initiatives that might come up in swing states.
The republicans are having all kinds of problems, the social issues that they made such a big show about can hurt them. The Tea Party movement has tried to claim that its entire platform is about gov...
What I see from the chart is that Republicans, during the Bush years, emboldened the hate-mongers with bluster about a Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage (2003-2004) --all to win an e...
It would be great to have a state-by-state breakdown of this trend.I would guess that in some states, Republican and Tea Party candidates could successfully run on anti same-sex marriage platforms fo...
"One way to read the trends of the past few years is that we have passed an inflection point wherein it is no longer politically advantageous for candidates to oppose same-sex marriage, which in ...
The question remains, "Where are these people when the polls open?" People seem still to be embarrassed to state their feelings publicly. Why cant we acknowledge that same-sex is illegal beca...
Why are civil rights for a minority even being voted upon? The job of the majority should be to protect minorities, not to keep them from enjoying the same rights as the majority of people in this co...
I wonder to what extent the accelerated pace is due to conservative focus on economic issues, and resulting de-emphasis on social issues. Ive heard from several conservatives that they need to put th...
Interesting drop in support for gay marriage in the polls right around the 2004 election.
