Support for Gay Marriages... or Funerals


A growing number of Americans describe themselves as "atheist."  And among secular Americans, support for gay marriage runs around 75% - greater even than President Obama's approval rating.  So it's not entirely surprising that now, for the first time, it seems that more Americans support gay marriage than oppose it.  

However, it's worth a moment to remember that not everyone approves of gays - much less gay marriage.  Once-tolerant attitudes in Senegal, for example, are becoming less tolerant.  The body of a man thought to be gay has been dug up from the grave twice after his family attempted to bury him.  Some people did not want the man to be buried where he was.

  1. We have more pressing issues in front of us now. Like, will I have a job next week or next month.
