Changing Attitudes on Gay Marriage
Public opinion on same-sex marriage
In Pew Research Center polling in 2001, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a margin of 57% to 35%.
Since then, support for same-sex marriage has steadily grown. Based on polling in 2016, a majority of Americans (55%) support same-sex marriage, compared with 37% who oppose it. See the latest data on same-sex marriage.
Post #61 Evangelical:
The government did not invent or create marriage. Marriage came from God (see Genesis), and Christians are supposed to be representatives of God, therefore Christians should uphold the true definition of marriage in the world.
Post #70 Evangelical
So marriage according to God and marriage according to the government is different. They cannot be both marriage, they must be two different things. Anyone who marries according to the government must not be truly married in God's eyes.
For a Christian obedience to God's law comes first (that homosexuality is forbidden), obeying the government's law comes next.
