And we all know the younger generation never takes on the values of the older generation... if it were as easy as you say, we'd have Gay marriage 100 years ago. Somehow, that didn't happen. And I'm not so sure younger people are in favor of gay marriage. In what state? In what region? What does "younger" mean exactly?
:roll:
Slowly but surely, without fail, our country moves towards that which is fair and decent. We fall back a little every now and then, but over time we end up granting rights to everyone on an equal basis.
Look at the progress we have made with women's rights and minority rights over the past several decades. 50 years ago a white person and a black person in my state couldn't marry. Less than a century ago women couldn't vote. 2 centuries ago black people were slaves and were considered Three-Fifths of a human being.
We move forward. We're slow, but we get there.
Gay marriage will be no different. Just like racism must be taught in order to be learned, so must intolerance and homophobia. As younger generations take over our country they'll care less and less about whether or not gays and lesbians marry. It will eventually become a non-issue.
