Estonia legalizes same-sex marriage

[Tisch]

The US is at 71%

Pleasingly surprised at this!

I bet if each state was weighted equally it would be lower though

but why would anyone measure it like that?

Map nerds?

I realise I could just Wikipedia it, but is gay marriage a state by state federal law? I assume yes?

It was a state by state law until 2015, when it was legalized nationally by the Supreme Court

This is fascinating:

A 2019 poll conducted by YouGov revealed that 70% of British people agreed that same-sex marriage should be legalised in Northern Ireland (up from 65% in 2018), including 55% of those living in Northern Ireland. Among Conservative voters, 62% (up from 54% in 2018) expressed support for the introduction of same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland. 81% of "Remain" voters said they supported same-sex marriage, compared to 60% of "Leave" voters (this was at a time when in the aftermath of the 2016 EU referendum the issue of Brexit dominated British politics). In Northern Ireland itself, 72% of women supported same-sex marriage, compared to 40% of men.[109][110][111]

Oh it's like one of those scary America's Going Backwards Laws post-Trump except it's pre-Trump, yikes

well states being able to make their own laws isn't always a bad thing. It's why certain states can pass things like trans protections, higher minimum wages, and legal marijuana before there is the will to pass them federally

Oh I don't disagree with states making their own laws! I disagree with states making shit laws.

Ron DeSantis hearing about the idea of state by state federal laws

Apparently we peaked in 2019 with 85% and that's down to 78% last year.

Does this feel right? The 71% for America feels right to me (pretty much universally accepted among non-Evangelics who aren’t elderly)

Yeah pretty much. I'm not remotely surprised it's gone down.

 

[RJN]

Why is it going down?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Why is it going down?

Well it could be something as simple as polling method. I mean with +/- 3% margin of error they're pretty close.

But the anti-woke movement has moved in some nasty ways. Basically you don't HAVE TO LIKE gays anymore.

There's a lot in the prop 8 thread (crazy that was so recent in California, and now gay marriage has popular support in Arkansas)

 

[GNL]

Why is it going down?

Well, lots of people have attended gay weddings now, realised we're too much, and decided gay rights were a mistake.
