Generational views are having an impact as well as the issue's exposure. While I would not view the current 18-25 year olds as
not homophobic, they are largely homophobic, but they are also accepting and largely pro-gay marriage.
I am guessing that in 25 to 30 years, the gay marriage debate will be looked at as we now view woman's and civil rights.
