The Emerging Mainstream

Young people may be more conservative than their elders in some ways, but not in every way.

A new poll has found that 79 percent of all Americans believe that gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the military.
In the 18-29 year age range, 91 percent said that gays should be allowed to serve openly. Those aged 30-49, 50-64, and 65 and over were 81, 74, and 68 percent respectively.

Full equality for gay citizens is going to happen.
The anti-gay position is simply disintegrating. Those who don’t like it best get used to it. Because when my generation runs the country, equality won’t be left-wing, it will be mainstream. (Via Kevin Drum.)
