I would assume a majority of Americans either support gay marriage or are passive on the issue (meaning they don't really have an opinion either way and are not against it). However, you have to look at the people in power. You've got one of the two major political parties (The Republicans) vehemently opposing it and they hold so much power to veto the decision to allow gay marriage, regardless of what the average American thinks. The Christian right-wing holds a disproportionate amount of power in America, so even if they're a minority they hold a lot of political clout to have the greater say in matters. It's not so much about majority support, it's about who holds the power.
Wow, I am not sure if you intended to rival more information then you desired.
Where to start?
"The Christian right-wing holds a disproportionate amount of power in America" . . . So you are fighting the religious freaks. HAHAHA So they really not so crazy into thinking that the homosexual community is after them HAHAHA . . . . .So you fear the religious right “power”. . . . . IS THIS NOT A DAMN ATHEIST FORM OR NOT, DAMN IT??!!

Also (love the Rachel Maddow shows in present a story one this little fact) an estimate amount of people in the gay community (60% to 75%) are actually registered republicans. HAHAHA. . . And you fear republicans “power” (who have a high number of register gay voters? !!!
Ummm ok I guess.
Let us not forget, it is the people who elect congressional representatives and the president not lobbying groups or political parties.
it's about who holds the power
But lest say you are correct, . . . so the thinking of the gay community is “ because we cannot control both branches, we will decided to hijack the Judicial Branch and use it as a legislating body to override the legislative branch, the branch that the people vote for to represent them?. Umm how is this not close to sabotage?
And how do you expect others to trust you if you are willing to sabotage the democratic process? Are you sure you for equality and the rights for all?
