The L.A. <i>Times</i> story says in part:<br /><br />"Increasingly, Americans are moving toward supporting legal recognition of same-sex marriages, a trend driven not by younger people aging into the voting population, but by those already over 18 changing their minds, according to a new study.<br />The research, reported Thursday by the centrist Third Way think tank, was an analysis of 98 separate surveys on same-sex marriage.<br /><br />"The think tank found that 75% of the increase in support for gay marriage has come from Americans reconsidering the issue. Only one-quarter of the change comes from young people coming of voting age.<br /><br />"That finding defies conventional wisdom, which suggests that more progressive-minded youths had slowly been overwhelming the opinions of conservative older voters on the issue. It helps explain how same-sex marriage has prospects of gaining popular support this year, after voters in recent years consistently rejected state ballot measures to recognize such marriages."dr.primrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045500427671158694noreply@blogger.com
