That's a pretty common misconception:

Tax Flight Is a Myth — Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Exploding the Texas Myth of Prosperity
But that's neither here nor there, and I'd rather not derail the thread with irrelevant nonsense.
The more likely reason that polling data has shifted leftwards is that we're no longer being inundated with misinformation from social conservative organizations. As it turns out, when people are presented with facts about gay marriage (rather than fearmongering bull****) they tend to support it.
Ok, well opinion pieces aside, what facts about gay marriage sway opinion one way or the other?
