May 3, 200917 yr Active Members Proponents of gay marriage, rejoice. Anti-gay marriage hysteria is being eclipsed by more pressing concerns.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/29/us/politics/29memo.html? It's more a shift in the cultural mindset of younger evangelicals than a case of specific new worries pushing gay marriage down in their priorities. Older evangelicals were conditioned to react to homosexuality as a particularly depraved bit of nastiness. Their energetic opposition to gay marriage is an expression of their fear of homosexuality generally. Younger evangelicals are often more relaxed around gays, so gay marriage drops down in their list of concerns. These guys are no less believers than their parents and they don't support gay marriage. It's just that they tend to lack the underlying emotional driver that gets the old folks all worked up.
