Finally a new ABC News-Washington Post poll confirms the
rise in support for gay marriage. For the first time in the poll's
history a majority of American adults, 53 % believe it should
be legal for gays & lesbians to get married. 68 % of adults
under 30 & 65 % of adults in their 30’s support gay marriage,
which just shows that our future looks bright. Also since 58 %
of independents back gay marriage by the time Obama "evolves"
on the issue it won't even present much of a political risk to his
re-election campaign in 2012. This poll comes a few days after
another poll showed that 51 % of voters oppose The Defense of
Marriage Act (DOMA) & just 34 % favor it.

This new poll is very consistent with a lot of other polling data we’ve seen and the general momentum we’ve seen over the past year and a half. As people have come to understand that gay marriage is about loving, committed families dealing, like everyone, with tough times, they understand how unfair it is to treat them differently.
