Ask America votes split 50-50 on gay marriage

Although economic issues seem to be the highest priority for most people as we lead up to the midterm elections, the debate over gay marriage is nonetheless hitting a turning point. Two recent polls were the first to find majority support for same-sex couples having marriage rights.

1. this is great news

the hatred is slowly lifting

2. yep

I believe one of the main reasons for this welcome change is the fact that the younger generations are not as homophobic than the older ones in general. If i rem correctly, the millennial generation is the most liberal generation in the history of the US

3. Hmm, I would disagree with that. Elderly people aren't beating up gays

In fact, the 'millennials' you mention are the ones apparently involved in taunting and harming homosexuals.


Not to diminish the good news in your OP, which is great!

4. I didnt mean it that way

What I meant to state was that according to polls, the older generations, as a % have way more people who are opposed to equal rights to gays than the millennial generation. (usually in the form of voting against gay rights bills, marriage laws etc etc)

I apologize if my post seemed to imply that the other generations were physically assaulting homosexuals.
