Nation More Evenly Split On Marriage Equality, Inching Toward Acceptance

Here is some great news to start the day: the latest Pew Poll on marriage equality shows that the nation's almost evenly split on whether gays and lesbians should be able to tie the knot.

According to the poll, a slim 46% plurality of Americans say gay marriage should not be legal. However, 45% said it should be legal, and with a 3% margin of error in the poll, that places the results into a statistical tie.

These numbers suggest the most robust support for same-sex marriage yet, and indicate a rapid shift toward equality for Americans. Back in 2009, only 37% of voters gave the thumbs up to gay nuptials, with 54% opposed.

As the numbers converge, they begin to look more and more like a piece of the male anatomy, and spell doom for politicians who continue to thump social issues.
