9/27 Momentum is Building (Post 2)





One of the main points I really want to argue in the shift of gay marriage is whether there is even a shift to speak of. That is to say, I need to show that there is momentum building in national opinion, and this is somehow leading to legislative results. I came across a site called "Freedom to Marry" recently, and I saw that there is DEFINITELY a momentum shift in legislative clout for gay marriage.


In between 2003 and 2008 there was two lasting legalizations of gay marriage (three if you count California, but that was quickly repealed). In between 2013 and September 2014 there was ten, and that's not counting the 5 or 6 that happened between 08' and '11. I will definitely have to include a chart in my report that shows this upward trend and create some kind of mathematical estimate as to when this will become nationally legalized.
