was listening this morning to a discussion on gay marriage.
In 1986 the supreme court upheld a law in Georgia that stated it was a criminal act to engage in a homosexual relationship. One justice noted that homosexuality was a crime against nature.
17 years later the supreme court shot down an almost identical law in Texas stating that all men (and women) are entitled to liberties that no government can interfere with.
in 2015, 58% of Americans now support gay marriage. That is up from 32% 10 years ago
81% of people under the age of 30 support
33% of current conservatives support it.
My point is - one of two things is going to happen with the GOP in order for them to stay relevant - either the evangelicals who refuse to support a candidate that does not support morality/social issues are going to be marginalized by candidates no longer caring what they say, or they will have to accept that there is no place for morality issues in political candidate running for the white house.
At some point that will extend to running for the senate.
