That's not true for the US, or most of the west really.
In 2012, CALIFORNIA voted to ban gay marriage.
CALIFORNIA.
The only reason we have gay marriage now is because obama's scotus forced it on states.
Don't let the media fool you. For example, there's polls that show that the Americans believe that there are A LOT more minorities and faggots in this country than there actually are. And the only reason they believe that is because the media is vastly over-representative of those groups.
Minor point: it was 2008 not 2012.
But yes, it frustrates me to hear people say "the right just needs to accept the gay marriage thing". The right did the "boots on the ground" thing in 2008 to keep it illegal through the same sort of "democratic" means the left uses to push through their social agenda, then the courts came by and told them "sorry, wrong answer".
Why should the right accept that is the end all/be all for debate on the subject? If the right listened to these sorts of people about abortion, Roe v. Wade would still be precedent.
Huh? I thought Prop 8 being stricken down was 2012...
Googles
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
How the fuck.
I'm aware of the polling data, and it's entirely consistent with the linear change over the past 70 years without significant deviation.
What about California voting it down?
It's the first time the Democrats discovered "the unintended consequences of mass migration from Latin America" actually had a potentially negative political ramification.
Turns out, rabid Catholics fleeing communist persecution are okay with handouts, not with sacrilege.
In general, the American population has been more accepting of both homosexuality and homosexual marriage on a slow linear increase over 70 years.
