re: Will anybody who previously support gay marriage admit it was a mistake ?

Claiming that same sex marriages mainstreamed lgbtq ideas is not logical.

You can't be serious. Was it the ONLY factor? No, but it was clearly a factor.

The other things like men cross-dressing and women dressing butch have existed for multiple decades.

They've existed for all of human history. At the fringe.

I had multiple teachers in my elementary grades talk about homosexuality.

And I had (literally) none. And guaranteed I'm older than you.

And all that means is that the trend precedes gay marriage, which no one I have seen has denied. The claim is that it sped up and exaggerated the trend, not that it is responsible for the whole thing.

Of course it is. We can talk about specifics if you'd like.

social media

Of course that is also a big part of it. Do you remember seeing the WH lit up in rainbow colors all over social media when the gay marriage decision came down? I do.

I bet not one kid today knows a same sex couple

Not one, huh?

There are a lot of ignorant posts on this thread.

Oh, the irony.

Most likely those posters have never had a conversation with anyone gay and are just speaking out their back side.

I would say that the likelihood that the majority of posters here never having a single conversation with a gay person is about the same as not one child knowing a same sex couple.

I can only speak for myself. I've had a gay uncle, a gay cousin, a gay roommate, several gay employees, two gay bosses, about a dozen gay friends, no telling how many gay patients, and a 23 year old child who "identifies as LGBTQ" in my lifetime.
