![The age divide is far greater than the gaping political chasm that exists between red states and blue states. Even in traditionally hostile states like Alabama and Mississippi, voters aged 18-29 are likely to be supportive of same-sex marriage at a higher rate than elderly voters [65+] even in traditionally supportive states like Massachusetts and Vermont.
Even the lowest rate of acceptance for 18-29 year-olds is around 37%, which is quite high considering the constant stream of support for discrimination to which these kids are likely subjected.
I find these statistics amazing, and heart-warming… they demonstrate that hatred is often simply generational, and it’s just a matter of time until the winds of change shift. (Still very frustrating to say the least, but hopeful.)
