There is no new cultural or new political landscape as the first sentence of the article is a lie.
“For years, American opinion on gay marriage has been shifting.”
Americans are now, have been and forever will be against gay marriage.
That’s not what the poll numbers indicate.
“Americans are now, have been and forever will be against gay marriage.”
If we continue to hold on to that statement in the face of all contrary evidence, we’ll never reverse the tide. We used to hold on to the statement that “Americans have never voted for gay marriage and never will.” It’s only true until it isn’t.
Hiding our heads in the sand doesn’t help. It will take hard work and a willingness to face unpleasant facts.
I think the younger gens are more accepting gays, thanks to public education, Hollywood, etc. So, I do think America will change.
Americans are now, have been and forever will be against gay marriage.
You've got that right. What's been shifting is the poll language and the propaganda. There has been at least 3 poll language changes in the longest running poll on the subject, each time neutralizing more the concept of what is really happening.
Homosexual --> Gay
Gay --> Same-sex
etc.
