you realize of course you just answered your own question.....recent polls say over 60% of Americans don't want it to happen......and it's going to happen whether we like it or not.....

that's how liberals deal with society......it doesn't matter to you if you're right or if you're wrong, you just keep fucking us up......

I am sure you could have got similar polls for the retention of segregation and anti-miscegenation laws one time, so what's your point? Anyway it depends on which part of the country the polls are taken.

When the Defense of Marriage Act was signed in 1996, only 25% of the American public supported same-sex marriage; support has increased gradually ever since. An August 2010 CNN poll became the first national poll to show majority support for same-sex marriage,[SUP][2][/SUP] with numerous polls after it showing majority support.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP]

Support for same-sex marriage generally correlates with lack of religious fundamentalism, young age,[SUP][7][/SUP] Democratic Party affiliation, and residence in the Northeast and West Coast of the United States.[SUP][8][/SUP] Women are also more likely to be in support than men.[SUP][4][/SUP] Opposition to same-sex marriage is generally correlated with fundamental religious belief, older age, Republican Party affiliation, and residence in the South and Midwest.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP]

At the state level, polls show majority support in the Northeast and West Coast, and majority opposition in the Midwest and South.[SUP][10][/SUP] California's Proposition 8, passed 52%-48% by voters after a controversial campaign in 2008, has been declared unconstitutional by two federal courts but remains in litigation;[SUP][11][/SUP] polling in 2012 shows 59% of California voters approve of same-sex marriage.[SUP][12][/SUP]

Please go over my post and seek the word "endorse" in it. When you don't find it, can you address this to somebody making that argument? If it really was meant for me, it is a straw man.

You are correct, Im sorry. I read it as endorsing for some reason.
 
I'm no longer going to respond to the trolls who try to turn this issue into a discussion of racism......I've already given my views on that argument and will not waste my time with your efforts to sidetrack the debate....

FOr once I agree with you, its not racism... its sexual orientationism.... or homophobia.
 
Everything changes, as much as social conservatives try to prevent change, it still happens. Marriage has always evloved and is not today what it was 40 years ago. It wont be in 40 years what it is today. Same with Christanity, the Presidency, money, Europe, or anything else. Im taller than my father who was taller than his father!
