I have no doubt that we will one day, in the future, look back at this same sex marriage debate the same way we currently look back at the interracial marriage debate from many years ago- in shame and disbelief that such a large percentage of the population could actually be so adamantly against it.... There is no doubt many people from that generation still alive today hang their head in shame at how they once felt. The difference however, is that most people in the 60s or so could transition out of their beliefs with virtually no public record of their racist ideology. Hell, a lot of people could be dishonest about their past and claim that of course they never held such racist views. Not the case today. We have an endless number of public records thanks to Facebook and Twitter of people pronouncing their hate in what is quite possibly a permanent manner. Im not suggesting that society one day use these records to shame people once the greater collective has an overwhelming turnaround. I'm suggesting that progression is inevitable, and a lot of people are putting up hateful opinions that are sure to haunt them years down the road...

And I am in no way saying that we no longer see racism today and that all are completely accepting of interracial marriage. I am saying that the general viewpoint today is considerably different than it was 40 or 50 years ago. I expect the same thing to happen with same sex marriage.
