… History doesn’t look kindly on those who stand against equality. Yet, that’s where conservatives have chosen to stand, much to my dismay and their detriment.
The pace of Americans’ changing attitudes has been breathtakingly swift and shows no signs of abating. In fact, a report by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute produced some rather striking findings.
According to the report, not only do most religiously unaffiliated Americans now support same-sex marriage, but so do most white mainline Protestants, white Catholics, Hispanic Catholics and Jews. …
But perhaps the worst harbinger for the future in the report, as far as conservatives are concerned, were the views of millennials (those ages 18 to 33). Seventy percent of these young people believe “that religious groups are alienating young adults by being too judgmental on gay and lesbian issues,” the report found. CONT.
