Another poll finds majority American support for marriage equality. Two things worth noting: Catholics and non-evangelical Protestants have pulled away entirely from the Christianists:
A solid majority of Catholics and white mainline Protestants (56% and 55% respectively) favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to legally marry, compared to only 23% of white evangelical Protestants.
And the generational divide seems to be declining as time goes by:
Sixty-one percent of 18-34 year olds support allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry, but so do nearly 6-in-10 (57%) Americans between the ages of 35 and 49.
You begin to see why this issue, like many others, is becoming toxic for the GOP. They are increasingly wedded to their Tea Party/Christianist base; but that base is drifting quite sharply away from Independents.
