Support for same-sex marriage in the US by age and state [Politics Suck]

In this chart, data compiled between 1994 and 2008 on the opinions of people in the US on same sex marriage shows some interesting trends. As you might expect, the southeast (and Utah) make up most of the bottom of the list, while New England states make up the most tolerant. It's also interesting to note the huge gap between those 18-29 and then 30-44. Which means that sadly, it looks like we might have to wait at least one more generation before most people dont have a problem with gay marriage. Chart via Contexts.org

Hopefully not a whole generation...

We just need some fucking old people to die off. What're you waitin' for, gramps! Die, already!

all the other possible gods, you will understand why I
dismiss yours." — Stephen F Roberts.

Looks like the entire bible

Looks like the entire bible belt represents the lower half of the chart. No surprises there. Religion and tolerance are mutually exclusive. Without the level of bible beating in the south, a lot of issues would move from grudging tolerance to actual acceptance much more quickly.

Well...

Just about everyone who isn't living under a rock. Even if you're not gay or simply oppose the idea of gay people, it's still a fact that they live amongst us.  While I in person don't fully understand the point of flaunting your anatomically incorrect disposition towards sex, I don't hate gay people and in a world dominated by the retardation of religion, it needs to be resolved.

Sure, if everyone was gay, the world would die out, but the people who care most about what the gay do and don't do, are the people who believe in that fairy tale known as the bible.

Forget the fact it's likely King David was gay, you're right, who cares what they do (Sarcasm in text form). Go read a book.

If gay dudes want to bang

If gay dudes want to bang each other in the ass and slap dongs with a marriage certificate, cool. Let them do it. The insurance stuff and spouse rights and shit has a lot to do with it, but it gets drowned out by all the bible thumping.
