As soon as you liberals stop shoving it in everybody's faces.
Shoving it in you conservative's faces wouldn't be necessary if you weren't so damn hardheaded. But if you keep fighting it, you should expect pushback. And you're gonna get it...believe that.
Just like you conservatives had to get it in every other civil rights fight. You lost those battles too.

Democrats were the supporters of the KKK, slavery, and segregation.
In the new survey released Monday, 59 percent of Americans said that they favor same-sex marriages while just 33 percent said they oppose them.
"It took about 25 years for interracial marriage to get from 30 percent support to 60 percent," he said. "It took same-sex marriage ten years."
For those who keep claiming the majority oppose it, you'd be wrong. Not to mention, SSM has far more support much faster than interracial marriage did.
People in States where it has been on the ballot vote it down repeatedly.

Is the new survey support made up mainly of divorce attorneys expecting a big payday and straight people in unhappy marriages who do not want to be the only ones to suffer?
Sorry I just couldnt resist but I have said for years to the gay community to be careful what they wish for,,,
Anyway with the Supreme court vote soon to happen best of luck to the gay community and if you win I hope your marriages last much longer then straight community has managed to do. It would be interesting to see those statistics and compare someday .
There is a third option that is never covered in these polls.....
People like me, who neither actively support nor actively oppose gay marrige.
A good number of people I speak to fall into this category for any number of reasons.
Call it evolving morals or whatever you like.... But for many people, gay marrige is just a non issue because they know it's a foregone conclusion anyways and that the country has much bigger fish to fry.
For me personally, any form of marriage....gay, straight or otherwise falls into the category of just another thing that the government has no constitutional business sticking it's nose into.
"People like me, who neither actively support nor actively oppose gay marrige. "
A lot of people would fall into that category. They vote, they pay taxes, they deserve it as much as any other tax payer. I'll say yes vs. no if its on the ballot, but I'm not getting all gizzy about it.
I see, so a poll by NBC is somehow definitive proof?
I would bet you the farm that if a nationwide vote were taken today whether homosexuals were allowed to redefine historical/traditional marriage, it would lose. Much of it would depend on the wording, but rest assured still more people are against it than for it.
That is saying something considering the liberal Hollywood homosexual agenda that has been afoot for decades now. So between our school system, popular culture figures, and TV/movies, I'm not surprised public opinion is shifting.
Of course by the time multiple people are all getting married to each other, Elmer is married to his cow Betsy, and the age of consent is lowered to 14, pushed by groups like NAMBLA, it will be too late to close Pandora's box.
Future generations will wonder how such a great society could have devolved so quickly into something even worse than Sodom & Gomorra, and historians will say look to the 1960's for when it all started.
You don't like that poll? How about these others....By the way you can take your "slippery slope" opinion and shove it. Civil Rights
Polls don't mean anything, a lot of people want to be PC now days so they don't say how they really feel.
