They grew up in a time when being gay was considered a disease, and they can't think of gays and lesbians as being equal human beings. And when they think of gay marriage they really think about gay sex. For younger generations being gay or lesbian is an accepted diversity in humans. If you look at the vote on Prop 8, regarding same sex marriage, here in California, it did not get a majority among all voters under age 65. It only passed because 2/3 of voters above 65 approved it. So with time the opposition to marriage equality will weaken. There are two challenges to DOMA and Prop 8 going through the courts, and I have some hope that at least the DOMA challenge from Massachusetts will be successful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977500768335143957noreply@blogger.com
