[Trivia question for some bonus points: How many of the above 16 states have pro-life pluralities?  You may be surprised at the answer.]

That's easy. None. It always is.

Edit: Looked it up, and Alabama and Kentucky do actually have pro-life pluralities. Texas does, too, but within the MoE.

Again, gay activists have done a great job of making people they will be labeled homophobic

What else is opposition to gay marriage but homophobia? I mean, really, there's no logic other than "God hates fags." (Sorry, Fred Phelps, to steal your trademark.)

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.

New York is going to be the first state to pass gay marriages and have the bill signed.

It passed the House today, and will probably pass the Senate sometime in the next term or two. Governor Sptizer also openly supports gay marriage.

The New York State Senate is Republican-controlled. Are they seriously going to pass a gay marriage bill?
