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.
For the Fundagelicals, a married man having unprotected sex with a porn star is OK. They either deny it or they just say "sorry".
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.
More likely, social change is the biggest threat, given that change can potentially go in any direction.Unfortunately, that’s not how rightwing bigots operate – social conservatives and Christian fundamentalists in particular.Emerging Consensus on LGBT Issues: Findings From the 2017 American Values Atlas | PRRI

it doesn't really matter if bigots support it or not. it's legal. the bigots should just probably go about their lives and leave everyone else alone.
And the bigot in the WH is the greatest threat to the rights and protected liberties of gay and transgender Americans.
Just so ya know, women have been voting for 98 years.
America has yet to be elected President in lieu of a "pussy grabber".

Should Justice Kennedy retire at the end of the October 2017 term, Trump’s nominee will no doubt be a hardcore reactionary social conservative hostile to the equal protection rights of gay and transgender Americans, placing the case law recognizing the right of same-sex couples to marry in jeopardy.

No, its real. Women couldnt vote and now they can. We have just celebrated a century of womens suffrage in the UK. That is a fact. Gay acts are no longer illegal and Gays are no longer jailed. That is a fact.That's really more of a just a constructed definition than anything inherently meaningful.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.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.
.
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.

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

Fine with me they will pay more taxes and help support what ever court handles divorce! It is also a whole new revenue stream for they attornies all those new divorces and bankrupcies to handle. Sounds like a lot of money to be made! Lets not forget what some of these lunatics(lunatics because they spend so heavily on the wedding) will spend on the weddiing! I would add in the money spent on bachelor bachlorette parties but I do not under stand how that works for these situations!Be pretend married and shut up about it already

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.
Well yes but it would be a long and winding road. It could possibly start with a state trying to take the right to marriage away by legislation. It would and must be immediately be ruled unconstitutional by any federal court because Obergefell is a binding precedent. The is true when it reached the appeals stage. After that it could go to SCOTUS but it my be too much of a political hot potato and they my not take it, and let the lower court ruling stand.
