Growing support for same sex marriages from all religions. (bar evangelicals)

Emerging Consensus on LGBT Issues: Findings From the 2017 American Values Atlas | PRRI

Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that same sex couples have a constitutional right to marry, support for same-sex marriage has increased substantially. Currently, more than six in ten (61%) Americans say gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry legally, while only about half as many (30%) are opposed.

Strength of support for same-sex marriage has increased dramatically over the past decade, while strength of opposition has fallen in nearly equal measure. Today, Americans who strongly favor same-sex marriage outnumber those who strongly oppose it by more than a two-to-one margin (30% vs. 14%). In 2007, only 13% of the public strongly favored same-sex marriage, while nearly one-quarter (24%) strongly opposed it.1 Much of this shift has occurred within the last five years. As recently as 2013, more than four in ten (42%) Americans opposed same-sex marriage, including about one in four (23%) who strongly opposed it.2 Over the last five years, strong supporters of same-sex marriage increased only modestly, from 25% to 30%.

Even the majority of Muslims are supportive. it looks like the battle is won in the US.

Republicans always sell things as 'end of the world'. Once they pass into law and people don't see any change around them they see it was never 'an issue' to be scared of. It is the never ending cycle of having to drab conservatives forward passed the change they are scared of.

One less phony issue for Republicans to run on in elections. This year it's 'caravans'.

Sure, Tom! Just get your foot in the door with legitimizing homosexual perversion one place, then another, soon, everyone gets used to hearing about it and before you know it just get USED to the idea of fags and queers being equated as no different than a real marriage between man and woman sanctioned by the church under god for the sake of raising a family. Used to be that kids were raised that way and were taught strict moral and ethical upbringing, but now that anything goes, we are getting our first taste of the "new generation" of kids who bring rifles to school to shoot everybody because the fucking world doesn't make sense to them anymore.

You are just afraid that progress is leaving you behind. I get that.

Is it really progress to force the values of Sodom and Gomorrah on the American people? Sounds a bit regressive to me.


.

Nope.You have a severely limited view of the world that is becoming less and less prevalent. People becoming free to live their own lives is progress.

Tommy, you mean people free to live their lives without any sense of a higher moral authority. Interestingly, as more and more people abandon the conventions of social and religious standards to "make it up as they go along (a loose analogy to anarchy)", precisely tracked along with your "progress" of the last few decades we see paralleling it sharp increases in senseless crime, violence, hatred, and moral and social decay.

Thanks for the progress.

Well in these enlightened times women can vote and go to work, people of colour can sit at the front of the bus and now Gay folk do not have to live a lie.
Those are pretty major step forwards for our society.

That's really more of a just a constructed definition than anything inherently meaningful.

In ancient Egypt, for example, a woman such as Nefertiti had the capacity to - whereas in the 21st century, a woman in America has yet to be elected President in lieu of a "pussy grabber".

So how do you quantify progress objectively, when the facts don't seem to corroborate the Western-centric myth?

Good for you. Next on your agenda, children and animals.

How very sad to find another person on this forum who cannot distinguish between relationships involving consenting adults....and relationships involving non-consent with children or animals.

That is exactly the kind of person who needs to stay away from children and animals.

Dofus, women have been voting for 137 years! I have no problem with what Blacks do or where they sit, etc., so long as they do so as an equal member of society and not as a separate group of "victims." Likewise, I have no real issue with gays so long as they don't rub my face in it as I don't rub their face in my heterosexuality. And likewise realize that they are a deviate subgroup of our culture and law or no law, two guys can do whatever they want in private, they can join in a legal civil union as a joined couple living together with certain legal rights, but they can never be a MARRIED couple and can never have as family of their own. If they want to try to adopt kids who otherwise have no other options, then that should be contingent upon the child's willingness to agree to such an arrangement!

I think your dates are wide of the mark. But as I said before you are part of a dwindling minority . You will soon be extinct.

The problem here is that the social construct of "progress" is not static, but fluid and constantly changing.

In Rules for Radicals, I took Saul Alinsky as being sober enough to admit that while progress can occur, it is never static or fixed, and that the best can that can be done is to try to minimize the "counter-revolution".

Back in the 1970s, for example, this is how Iranian women dressed, whereas today decades later, they must wear hajibs

So likewise, how can you be sure that, a decade or two from now, homosexual marriage won't be remade illegal (for better or ill) - given how fleeting public opinion is, changing from poll to poll, day to day, particularly among younger voters and their openness to novel and controversial ideas, such as the "Pepe the Frog" silliness that seems to be the rage with edgy young kids these days?

Lots of things which are legal become illegal as history unfolds, cultures seem to enjoy constructing various ethnocentric myths to give themselves legitimacy, but often the facts conflict with how people would like to perceive things.

Much how women back in the 1970s had more freedoms in how they dress prior to the Islamic revolution than they do today in the 21st century.

Doesn't matter. Any so-called "Christian" denomination who advocates same-sex marriage is teaching false doctrine which is 180 degrees out of phase with what God's word given to us through the Bible.

There are numerous warnings in the Bible about homosexuality and perversion. So many that I don't need to quote them here.

Yeah, you tell that to the people who are blocked from speaking on college campuses by violent thugs and the Christians who lose their businesses because they refused to be forced to associate with people they don't approve of. I could provide more examples, is that what you call being free to live your life?


.

Are the gays blocking campus speakers ?

LGBT College Blacklist

Thank you. If bigots enjoy the right to free speech in order to spread poison then the victims of this should also enjoy the right to fight back. Or is it a one way street ?

Speech = poison? Speech =victims?

Only in regressive LA-LA land, and of course those "victims" have a right to demand that every person who ever went to that school to be blackballed.

Unfortunately, that’s not how rightwing bigots operate – social conservatives and Christian fundamentalists in particular.

And the bigot in the WH is the greatest threat to the rights and protected liberties of gay and transgender Americans.

A marriage in the eyes of the law is nothing more than cohabitation. Unless that marriage exists in the eyes of God, it is only two people living together.

The Global Divide on Homosexuality

Globally, opinions on homosexuality seem rather divided, particularly in China, which is possibly economically surpassing the West by a huge margin:

This month, headlines declared that China could eclipse the United States as the world's biggest economy by as early as this year. But before you start lamenting the end of American dominance – the U.S's 125-year run as the world's economic leader – listen to us. America is still number one. It will be for a while. And, as it turns out, China is OK with that.

Is China really about to overtake the U.S.?

The "West" and its white-centric or Anglo-centric views on trivialities such as homosexuality may not be particularly relevant in shaping global opinion in the future to begin with. If it can't adapt to the cultural views of the world at large as its relevance dwindels - then its archaic definitions of "progress" may very well be rendered irrelevant.

How do Western whites, for example - purport to impose their quaint views on homosexuality on China, or India, or Russia, South Korea or the rest of the world to which they are foreign novelties? The same way they did on Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

Please tell me how Donald Trump has threatened the "rights and liberties" or perverts? I don't recall him saying anything about restricting your privilege to be buggered in the arse by some leather-wearing gay stud.

In addition, how is your need to feel a hot throbbing dick up your ass a "protected liberty" or even a "right"? I sincerely doubt the founding fathers were thinking of that while they were penning the constitution, as they weren't really into that kind of sick shit.

There are actually two separate issues at play here.

1. What you do is between you and God. No one cares about that.
2. When you try to normalize that behavior in society. People care about that.
