The majority of the population is already in favour of it, and as people see this doesn't damage society the way they are being told by religious and political leaders, they will lose their vocal opposition to the idea of same-sex marriage.

It's a matter of time...
I didn't disagree that it was a matter of time, I just don't believe that time period is a short as a lot of people think it is. As I pointed out, there are many areas in the US where virtually State sanctioned race based discrimination was common place until recently, and poll numbers on that would have been much stronger than those you cited. This is a significant step, but it shouldn't be viewed as victory, there's a long way left to go before true equality exists.
