The president and the federal government have great public influence on these issues, when FBI men and the Military have gay marriage nationally, then the argument among the voters of individual states is close to over.

Politically, this is so. However, it seems to me that culturally, the mass of the people are in denial. They carry on with weddings and marriages as if nothing has changed. So, you could say we are entering an interesting phase.

In general people follow the crowd.

As long as there is plenty of support for something they personally believe then they can continue supporting it, but once they come to think that the majority disagrees with their position, then their own opposition collapses and they join the crowd.

People can endure public pressure to hold on to possessions like their money, or their guns, or cars, but they are weak in holding on to their social issues like drugs, porn, gay issues, people don’t like to be ‘uncool’.
