Massachusetts is a clear case that once a place legalizes SSM, the people will eventually support it. I am guessing that when it was first legalized, most opposed it- or at least it was closer. Same thing here. Peoples' opinions have dramatically shifted since before and after legalizing SSM. Once people realize how harmless it really is, they accept it.
Indeed you'd be correct.
In fact, I'd argue that the surge in support is totally a consequence of gay marriage becoming "cool," and enticing soccer moms by the truckload to embrace a new gay lifestyle choice and get one of those "gay marriages" they keep hearing about on Oprah.
The thing is, DWTL could have posted this seriously.
I would because the main reason for support of gay marriage stems from fear of being labeled homophobic and wanting to fit in
And if so few people support gay marraige because they think it's a good idea, who is everyone else trying to "fit in" with?
The number of support is probably something like 30%, and those people do a good job of convincing others they will labeled as homophobic for not supporting it. It reminds me of a Family Guy quote, "Anyone who doesn't want to go to war is gay!"
