Was anyone persecuted for this?
I'm sure this won't be a popular opinion, but how is this surprising? Gay marriage was voted down at the state level many times all across the country. Those voters are still out there and 5 supreme court justices didn't change their opinions on homosexuality.
This is the most worthless comment I've read on lemmy yet, not only is it wrong or also acts smug about it lmfao get outta here
Your entire comment history is antagonism or insults. I rarely even think this much less say it, but: please go back to Reddit. You’re the reason we all left there.
Based on documented state voting the majority of the population would agree with my statement. You are in the small minority. Bitch all you like, that will not change.

What state? What would they agree with?
I said in a earlier reply that gay marriage was voted against many times, in multiple states all across the USA. That's what I was referring to, feel free to Google it.
Please, just do a simple Google search and educate yourself:

Gay Marriage has had one of the most radical changes in public opinion of any concept in general. The overwhelming majority of people are in favor of it, to the point that it would be law even in places you would not expect.
I said what I said about your comment because it was smug and objectively untrue. Nothing irritates me more than that combination. Please, understand the way you learned things years ago does not determine the immutability of them.

That's a quick Google search. It barely made it through the supreme court, passing 5/4. I'm not sure where you are gathering your information, but it's skewed.

Dude did you even read my original comment? I said that the public opinion towards same-sex marriage has changed drastically. I appreciate you linking an article from 2014 from a highly biased conservative site, but, aside from the bias, it has no relevancy as the source I linked to you was as of 2022.
Show me a source that actually supports your claim.
Also, I added the first additional link I found as anyone can update Wikipedia without validity.

Not sure you're right about that.
I assumed push back as you don't agree with the actual facts I posted, but didn't expect you to put blinders on. How do you factually measure how people feel? The answer is clearly you don't. I said gay marriage was voted down many many MANY times in different states all across the United States. It was, that actually happened. The people that voted against still actually exist, and it's likely their opinion has not changed just because you don't like it. How fucking obtuse can one person be?
Why is it likely that their opinion has not changed? I, for one, change my opinion if I find it doesn't suit me anymore
If someone voted against a topic like this so many feel so strongly about I think it would be hard to change their minds. What could I say to convince you otherwise on this topic?
It's hard to change opinions when religion and lead have rotted your brain
Or a liberal. Liberals are the same.
I know, but the funny thing is that this place is very traditional and religious... In paper.
So you're implying that an opinion may be subject to change unless one had already voted on some matter based off of that opinion thus committing to following that opinion for the rest of one's life?
Not at all, I said that people are on one side of this topic, and it showed in the actual votes they placed. Then with a 5/4 vote in the supreme Court the government told them their opinion didn't matter. That alone will make someone loath the decision and keep their opinions. I've made myself very clear, and I think everyone here understands my point perfectly, some don't agree with it, to them I say, whatever.
Well, you can count me out, I did not understand your point perfectly, not sure about the rest.
