support for "gay marriage" has fallen in America to 54%, meaning just a bare majority of Americans support the novel concept. Those who think it should be legal are a mere plurality now. 33% of respondents believe it should be against the law, and the rest are undecided.

When the big push was on for homosexual marriage the Right argued that it was a stepping stone to more and crazier stuff and the supporters of gay marriage strongly disputed that, claiming it was a one and done issue and that once they were granted "marriage equity" they would be satisfied. It was a lie and they immediately began pushing transgenderism and other such things.

I predicted that then and was right. Was Hitler satisfied with Czechoslovakia?

But most people bought it because the media argued it. Most people were wrong.

I asked a supporter of gay marriage at the time why, if we change the definitoin of marriage to two men or two women, should we not then accept any and every claim of marriage? Why can't a boy marry his dog? A father his son or daugher, a mother her son or daughter? Why can't we have marriages between dudes and blow-up dolls? A guy and his car? Certainly there is ample precedent for multiple marriages as that has a long historical pedigree, as well as marriages between cousins.

My interlocutor sneered, saying that's crazy talk. But it doesn't seem so crazy now, does it?

When San Francisco began issuing gay marriage licenses before the SCOTUS ruling a huge line of gay couples formed. I argued at the time we should have sent a bunch of acivists through the line with blenders and toaster ovens and "Chihuahuas and Cappuchin monkeys and the like and demanded to be given marriage licenses. The Left would have done that, made it into a circus, a laughingstock. We don't do things that way. We should.

At any rate this was inevitable and the fruits thereof are, well, more fruits coming out of the woodwork. People thought this would be the end of it; it was only the beginning.

It amazes me that half of the public now supports gay marriage. Back in the early 2000nds the public was solidly against it and we used to taunt the gay marriage crowd with demands they go state-by-state and hold votes. They wouldn't do it because they knew they would lose. But now they might win a lot of states. Still, it's good the tude seens to be turning.
