A poll released from Pew this week shows that public attitudes toward marriage equality are indeed shifting to be more favorable.
In the four years since the 2008 survey, support has gone up among Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Hispanic Catholics show a surprisingly high rate of support, considering how many Catholic leaders are opposed to marriage equality. The president’s endorsement of same-sex marriage had the greatest effect on liberal Democrats, but very little on African-Americans.
“[T]here has been a rise in support for gay marriage across many demographic groups, even those who have traditionally been the most opposed,” Pew explains. “A large portion of the growth in acceptance of gay marriage over the past two decades is the result of generational replacement — the arrival of younger, more supportive generations making up a larger share of the population. But the pace of change in support for gay marriage has increased in recent years across generational lines.”
We’re getting there, slowly but surely.
