(14,190 posts)And good on you for being honest in this thread. There was a shift in conciseness in America. It was building for years and a lot of it was creative writers on television programs. From Ellen coming out on her sitcom, to Will and Grace to Modern Family. These roles helped to familiarize middle America with this mysterious, secret club kept in the shadows and thus was able to be defined by people like TV evangelists and right wing media hosts.
IMO, I think this pissing match between some Bernie supporters and some Hillary supporters is a useless waste of time. I'm a Bernie supporter but I can totally understand how someone can "evolve" on this issue. I have as well. Never been opposed to same sex marriage per say, probably never even thought about it, but now I understand just how imperative it is if you want to call yourselves a fair and equal democracy.
