Wow, 1995... that is kind of amazing. I mean, I knew that acceptance of interracial marriage was slow, but it really says a lot about how hard the race issue is in America that it took that long -- and that despite acceptance now being at 85%, we still have major race-relations issues today as anyone watching the news at all knows.
As for that comparison there, it is also definitely interesting that gay marriage moved so quickly towards public acceptance. There's been a massive cultural shift in less than a decade! Very impressive progress. And that's why now so many states are getting gay marriage, and only the republican fringe is yelling about it, while just a decade ago they were driving lots of people to the polls with gay marriage bans. Just amazing pace of change.
