    Not good enough but we're getting there. However since prohibiting marriage equality violates the Fourteenth Amendment, I don't actually care what the citizenry has to say in the matter. The Constitution guarantees and demands equality among all of us not simply those deemed by tradition to be superior.

    Still not high enough. But they can whine all they want, marriage equality has been speeding up incredibly since last year. And they'll have to deal with it.

    Same-sex marriage support amongst Republicans still at 30% though, but I guess that isn't surprising. What I do find interesting though is how right-wing politics in the US and the UK differ significantly - 61% of our own Conservative Party support same-sex marriage, even though Conservatives are usually, well, conservative, and old-fashioned - by our own admittedly left-wing standards.

    The pictures were awesome to skim through, there was a lot of religious support and I like to see that :slight_smile:

    It'll happen. The next generation (my generation) will be overwhelmingly in support of gay marriage, it will transcend across party lines. The GOP is already having an internal fight over this. I know MANY conservatives who support equal rights for gays.

    Washington Post says that 59% support SSM legalization. Either number shows a growing tide.

    Good! It is interesting that the approval from 1996 to 2014 has basically doubled across all groups and even tripled in the case of people 50 years and older.
