My first thought on reading the OT was who are you talking about? Two men or two women getting married? Clearly you are talking about gay men and not lesbians. If their opposition was based on religion, they would object to all gay marriage not just that of men. OP, ask them that. You might just get an I don't care answer as far as these silly young women go.

I'm 70 and grew up in Greenwich Village. Back when I was a young woman I had a very close gay male friend. Nothing romantic about it. We shared a lot of common interests; music, dancing, cooking, etc. He came to NYC from a small town in Tennessee seeking acceptance, fame, fortune, and love. We met through a woman I knew who also came from that same small town. I worried for him not knowing about life in the Big City and warned him to be very, very careful looking for love in all the wrong places. Said the same to his female friend as well. We all did a lot of crying on each other's shoulders when things didn't work out. What are friends for?

Both Jerry and Jane eventually moved back to Tennessee. Don't know what happened to either, but I hope they found the man of their dreams.

Edit: My older daughter has been married to the woman she loves for 4 years.

They have been taught by their brand of Christianity to obsess over homosexuality and abortion. They wrongfully put different weights on sins. They are also manipulated politically by those issues unfortunately.

Your point is not backed by anything factual so the whole thread is pointless. It is my experience that women, white or otherwise, are far more tolerant and accepting of gay relationships and marriage than men are.

Based upon your comments you likely have too small of a sample to be drawing broad conclusions and also some sort of perception bias going on.

Gay dude here married to another (surprise surprise) gay dude.

I agree that my anecdotes are the same as yours. Women tend to be more tokerant than men.

It's almost as if they hate the idea of being able to own every man on the market.

I'm a heterosexual male, and this baffles me.
There are tens of millions “ young white women”. Exactly how many of them communicate with you?

Sounds like you might be looking for reasons why you are lonely. Sounds like you prefer to look at people based on some sort of scale of physical attractiveness, instead of as people.

Possibly anecdotal.

I have not seen this trend.

This survey, the topic of another thread, finds that young women are considered 'allies' of the LGBTQ community at a greater number than young men.

Your position isn't accurate.
