3. "showed young voters overwhelmingly for gay marriage."
We will have it within our lifetimes.

We were talking about it at dinner today - my husband and I are 27 and my sister-in-law who lives with us is 14. She said that a friend of hers had a lot of gay friends and really wasn't homophobic but was against gay marriage and couldn't explain why. This friend has also gone to a conservative church for most of her life, which I think answers her question.

I've seen that on the forums I go to that are mostly people my age and younger - the majority are extremely for it, but there are a few who are religiously insane and can't get past the brainwashing despite apparently not feeling the hate. The key word there is "few".

4. The map also has some filters to try.
Try "went for McCain in 2008".
