What's Happening With Same Sex Marriage?

In nineteen eighty eight, when the general social survey first asked the question about samsex marriage, eleven point six per cent of respondents said that they thought same sex couples should have the right to marry. By twenty eighteen, the number of americans who said same sex couples should has the right to marry was sixty eight per cent. That's a really dramatic change. It's rare for public opinion on contested issues to change that much at first. Even though it was sort of democrats and liberals who were more likely to be open to gay rights, there were plenty of evangelical christians,. rural people, republican voters, who actually changed their minds on these issues.
