He’s right. Outside of weekly churchgoers, you’re going to struggle to find anyone under the age of 40 who doesn’t either support gay marriage, or regard it as insufficiently bothersome to merit opposition. Frankly there are plenty of weekly churchgoers who are in the same position: they have gay friends, family, co-workers, etc. — it’s just not something that offends them personally even if they acknowledge that religious orthodoxy might invoke their opposition.
And this is to say nothing of the fact that conspicuous opposition to gay marriage has, in many social and professional circles, become simply regarded as bigotry: an opinion entirely beyond the pale. While some people rebel against those kind of strictures, human nature leads most people to adopt — ideologies which are not permitted to be questioned become, for the most part, unquestionable.
In any event, there’s a very good chance that the Supreme Court ends this within the next six months. 40 years of fervent pro-life campaigning hasn’t laid a finger on Roe and my guess is that nobody even bothers with a movement against gay marriage once the Supremes have legalized it nationally.
You trying to say that the vast numbers of blacks that voted for Obama are pro-gay-marriage . . . ? or the Hispanics and Asians?
I think I can tell the difference between stating fact and propagandizing for the other side. And blatant ageism is in Will’s statements, which is not only of a leftist source but reveals the man’s own thoughts rather than a continued support of conservatism as a conviction.
