Here's where YouGov most recently had Wyoming on approval and disapproval on same-sex marriage (SSM):
WY 33 50 -17
I don't know where the 53-39 poll came from. If such is the pattern, then it would seem that soon after SSM is tolerated by law, the public follows. Maybe people find that it does not hurt them.
PPP could poll North Carolina. This could compel me to update the approval rating for SSM in at least one state.
Why does Wyoming get this reputation of being all libertarian and whatnot... like a gaggle of cowboys that don't want the government involved in anything? They are clearly just a bunch of nasty hicks like the rest of Republamerica.
I think there was a time where it was like that, but the energy boom of the late 2000s brought in a lot of white trash. I think as the value of Hydrocarbons decreases, that these people will move out and things may or may not turn to normal in the next few years. Though even then, I don't think they are anti-Government as they are "we don't really care about feminism or civil rights or religion for that matter, we just want to get rich and enjoy the outdoors".
Yea, but I always thought that "I don't care" was not to include actively opposing. 50% opposition to gay marriage at this point is striking, as it's basically one of those progressive issues that has come full circle. Definitely "it's here, it's queer, get used to it", and those people still fighting it just come off as hateful.
