Stephan:   This research report tells me three things. First, the consciousness of the American culture has changed and, for most Americans, same-sex relationships are no longer an issue; and, second, this is another reflection of the diminishing power of the obsessive christofascist gender hysteria. Third, it illustrates what I have been saying on SR, and in my book The 8 Laws of Change: Social change occurs when 10% of any group, from church group, to school group, to nation, changes their personal consciousness. Here is the Gallup Organization's take on this: "Once opponents of legalization, Republicans have mostly come to back it. Court and legislative challenges to the legal status of same-sex marriage have simmered down since the Supreme Court issued its decision. Meanwhile, older U.S. adults, who were once holdouts in support for gay marriage, now come down on the same side of the issue as young adults. "Gallup's trend illustrates that Americans' views can shift in a relatively short time span, creating a new consensus -- even as polarization on other measures intensifies."
