An interesting statistic about gay marriage and different age groups presents itself, based on research, and is a sign that gay marriage will have a rosy future over time.
If one polls people who are senior citizens, over 65, one finds that gay marriage is opposed in every state of the Union.
But when one looks at voters under the age of 30, only 12 states would ban gay marriage!
So as time passes, and the older generation leaves us, gay marriage will become much more accepted, and one day, about 30 years from now, many will wonder what the big commotion was about, and there will be embarrassment that there was such a fight over human rights!
But then, it is embarrassing to look back at the 1950s and 1960s, and the incessant struggle over civil rights for African Americans in the South!
Interestingly, it is in the South that we have the most vehement opposition to gay marriage and gay rights, so what does that tell us?
As time passes, nothing changes in much of the “Old South”, the rural South, whether it is Democratic, as it was in the past, or Republican today!
