I don’t entirely agree with this, but I reminds me of what @MaryVinnied has said before. Obergefell was a huge shift for everyone. It was a wonderful victory, one I remain grateful for. But it does seem like something happened. Like the floodgates fell open.https://twitter.com/herandrews/status/1410568955111030787 …

Now, worth noting that I honestly didn’t know anyone who disapproved of gay marriage or civil unions. Hardline southern conservatives included (though they always prefaced their support with “as long as it didn’t go too far” or “they deserve to be taxed equally”)

This is an absurd lie. No one approved and it was a literal joke a few years before it was legally mandated. No one approves today but fear prevents anyone from being honest - even with themselves.

Most Americans do support SSM. The first time it would have won a national referendum was 2016.

Everyone is disgusted and horrified by it but since it's socially impermissible to react that way people have to pretend to not feel that way because otherwise they have to confront that they've changed their attitude out of fear.

That doesn't make sense. There is something to this in regards to interracial marriage, but even accounting for that, a majority support it now.

It's a pattern that repeats in many areas. Everyone knows what gay men do to boys; everyone looks the other way because they have to; no one wants to see himself as a coward.
