The shift in public opinion on same-sex marriage has undergone a remarkable shift in the past 20 years, as shown on this graph, culminating in the latest Gallop poll showing 60% approval of legalized same-sex marriage.
The Gallop results are confirmed by similar results from an ABC/Washington Post poll that showed 61% approval and a Quinnipiac University poll showing 58% approval. Compare these attitude numbers with the 62% of Irish voters who just voted "yes" on their marriage equality referendum.
Supreme Court justices are expected to announce their decision on the marriage equality cases within the next few weeks. I'm predicting a 6 to 3 decision, favoring equality -- which, by the way, would be 67% yes, pretty closely mirroring what both the American and Irish people say.
