Wow, you’ve spoken some of the most profound words I read here for awhile.
NC’s vote was 61% in 2012. That’s what CA passed prop. 22 by in 2000. So the 2012 of NC was where the CA of 2000 was on the issue. Something that would have got you called crazy if you would have predicted that in 2000. In 2008 CA’s prop. 8 passed by 52%. Not a good sign.
Just look at the amendments, when they passed, where they passed and what the states in the same area passed them by and when. Actual votes instead of polls based on telling a stranger over the phone what your opinion is of ‘gay marriage.’ The polls usually run slightly higher for ‘gay marriage’ from what I have observed. Which might not be too good a sign in and of itself. But the actual voting trend by popular vote is definitely not positive, albeit not as bad as the opinion polls.

At SMU in Dallas the student senate voted to put on the general study body ballot a special senate seat reserved for a gay student. Lots of hype went into presenting it as a done deal. The student body voted no this week.
I guess the Atlantic is wrong.
I wouldn’t say it is stunning. Other areas of the country have shifted massively more so than the South. Hawaii actually passed it’s amendment by 69% in 1998 if I recall, one of the first two states to get an amendment. Yet VA and NC passed their votes by a significantly lower %. Hawaii is more liberal than VA or NC, so it would be surprising if its voting public wasn’t more inclined to ‘gay marriage than VA or NC. Hawaii probably shifted more by %.

Chillin sent to the Pooblik Skrewl Collectives do turn out to be socialism infected.
The article is pure BS! Of the three “Southern” states he’s talking about a democrat judge overruled the will of the people. NO SOUTHERN state has voted for queer “marriage”.
The WA state legislature passed homosexual marriage on 2/13/2012. But then it was placed on the ballot that fall and passed the voter referendum on 11/06/2012.
Hispanics are to the left of white southerners on gay marriage. If they're "socially conservative", I'd hate to see what socially liberal looks like.

Oh ... I was merely responding to the article ... I said it would be “ironic if” ... not when ... I do believe they hold on to their religion better than most ... but they have certainly been co-opted by the left in all other ways ... never forget how the Catholic Church has moved waaaayyyy to the left for decades!
.....Or could come roaring back to life because of Christian missionaries from the global south nations.
Seems like they’re trying to “give the South the chance to repent and atone” for all the bogus racism memes. “The South knows it has nothing to atone for.
older mention of the info from a gallop poll
Secular humanism, the state run religion in America, is not gong to be defeated at the ballot box. Mexicans vote for secular humanists too and there will always be judges that can overturn the will of those votes anyways...
The ‘m’ word you are looking for is- muslims
And they wont need to use the ballot box..
god sits as king and judge forever and is above our ballot boxes and the nation’s judges..
And Scripture tells us what happened and happens to nations that forget God
Muslims growing and even becoming a more and more ‘protected people’ in this nation can only be divine providence.
And it isn’t so this country can witness to them..
they’ve witnessed all they need to see - they know what this secular humanist country is all about-
