One of my favorite New York Times columnists, Charles M. Blow, has written a fascinating column in today's paper. He points out that, for the first time, Gallup polling has revealed that over 50% of Americans view "homosexual relations" as "morally acceptable." More interesting is the finding that among men, old and young, acceptance has skyrocketed:
"While women’s views have stayed about the same over the past four years, the percentage of men ages 18 to 49 who perceived these “relations” as morally acceptable rose by 48 percent, and among men over 50, it rose by 26 percent."
Read it all here. This is further evidence that the war is over and we have won. There's still money to be squeezed from homophobia, hence the continued employment of pretty boy Tony Perkins, but people like him are increasingly relics of the ugly past.
