I'm sure the less than 4% of the population is happy to see so much support for their cause.

New Politico Poll Shows National Support for Same-Sex Marriage Continues to Decline | CCV Action

Additionally, a majority of Americans (52%) oppose redefining marriage, and nearly 2/3 of voters polled say where a candidate stands on marriage is important in selecting their candidates.

As we have seen in Ohio, with the polling figures over the last month, support for same-sex marriage is declining as citizens become increasingly alarmed and disturbed by the bullying tactics carried out by many in the same-sex marriage movement.
The previous poll politico did said support was at 40 percent, and two years later it's at 48 percent. I might not be a math wizard but the latter seems to say that support isn't slipping. So you basically posted one poll that is an likely outlier and a local poll for Tennessee. Well big whoop...I seriously doubt that the support is Tennessee has ever been scorching hot.

Actually the second story you listed is referring to the poll results in the first story. Sure sounds more like Chicken Little the sky is falling, than support for SSM falling.

Negative, you showed ONE poll. Another never stated support was falling and the second was a local poll of a Conservative state. You also can't really count a poll here or there when the majority say that support is growing. Just accept the fact Finn, you have lost this battle like your side has lost every other battle of the culture way in the last 50 years.

The reality is this is something the right is going to have to live with. One way or another SSM is going to win out. It likely will win with the Supreme Court, and if not through referendums that spawn up over the backlash of allowing the bans.

Well, what about straights who cheat on their spouses and end up destroying their marriages and families? Where is your concern for that, if any? After all, the Bible clearly said the penalty for adultery was death. Or do you believe that God finds indulging in homosexuality a much worse sin than straight adultery, because you find homosexual sex acts to be much more grossly offensive?

And I showed you polls that say support is growing, the very poll in the OP says that, and yet you ignored it as if it didnt exist. So it is indeed your opinion.

There isn't because they really don't care. They use religion as a cover because SSM makes them feel uncomfortable is all.

Surely many are the ones who get uncomfortable by getting turned on by good looking members of their own sex

It's a fascinating thing to watch: The death of a religion!

This isn't a once-in-a-lifetime event. This is a once-in-a MILLENNIUM event. Christianity is well on its way to marginalization- and in another century (we may live that long!), it's gonna be extinct right along with the Greek and Roman Pantheons. What will take its place? I don't even want to know... it's gonna be **** like religion always is. But just the same...

Ain't many humans get to see a religion die. I'm happy to be alive to see that. That's right up there with colonies on Mars! Progress that will change the goddamn world!!
