Damn, Arkansas really is a fucking shithole

First child labor and now this

Its a very small margin , give it a decade and it will be blue too

The map is slightly misleading. At first glance, you would assume blue states have a majority (over 50%) supporting gay marriage, red states have a majority opposed. However, the lightest shade of blue is 40-49% support.

While I personally support gay marriage, I think this actually hurts the cause. It appears to under-report the opposition to gay marriage and how much work still remains.

It is a shame that in spite of such overwhelming support for gay marriage, we didn't have the courage to put it in as a Constitutional Amendment (despite there being several successfully passed Constitutional bans in many states, including California).

yes it is but as I said a decade later a lotta old ppl will die and with better education the number would go up automatically . The lowest any major city gets is 68% at Dallas with NYC and others touching 91% already

As it says plurality, I assume there were more than two options for a stance, ex. "Don't care' keeping "Support" from being the majority, but still a leading opinion.

I feel like this needs to be overlaid with the pornhub map of gay porn preferences.

Can we just get over it please. Being attracted to the same sex for some has been going on since the dawn of time. We're suppose to be the one with the brains, and yet we haven't figured that out yet? That tells me one of two things. We're either really stupid, or really selfish.

Why can't they use different colors? They have 5 blues listed but looks like only 4 were used. Different colors makes it 100 Badrillion times easier to read.

All 5 are used

I could give a crap about standing at an alter with matching suits. I just want the same protections and rights afforded by the government that heterosexual couples have. Call it whatever you want if that’s the stumbling block for the Christian right.

Gullible, really.

It's a political hit job pushed heavily in the 70s to give power to groups like the Birch Society.

It's easier to manipulate people if you can give them something in common to hate.

Also one of the most boring states in the country imo

Easily in the top 3 most forgettable

it's not really the point of data visualization to make predictions. there's an entire field of data analytics for that though

i think it is easy to think about this in hindsight but the feasibility of a same-sex partnership was low because of the extant economic need to produce children to have help with family business/farming etc. it is only with economic security and social welfare that such partnerships become more feasible and thereby as prevalent as they are today. when the primary purpose of a relationship is partnership/pairwise fulfillment and not producing children to maintain/advance one's economic status, there are more options available.

The US is gayer than i thought
