Politics Who Wants to Stop Gay Marriage?
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 11:08 AM
Not the crazy conservatives at CPAC, as it turns out. Despite the best efforts of NOM and assorted religious bigots to elevate opposition to same-sex marriage to the status of a Republican article-of-faith, only 1 percent of attendees at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference listed "stopping gay marriage" as a priority. "You can thank the kids for that," says Joe My God. Students comprised upwards of 48% of the respondents, and more than 50% of votes were cast by CPAC attendees under the age of 25. And younger people—including young conservatives—are much likelier to support marriage equality. That splat you just heard was Maggie Gallagher crapping her pants.
