This sort of rapid shift in American public opinion basically never happens. https://t.co/MVFZstviDq @Nate_Cohn @KevinQ pic.twitter.com/0yyMG3UNpJ

50 years ago we were illegal, now we have an openly gay man running for president.
This is what the American dream is, this is what progress looks like. I look forward to seeing what the future holds! https://t.co/gdiVcPKHff

Americans’ views flipped on gay rights. How did minds change so quickly?

By Samantha Schmidt @ WashingtonPost.com, 2 hrs. ago

Fifty years after the Stonewall riots, the transformation in attitudes toward gay people stands out among social movements, researchers say. What’s perhaps most surprising is that support for same-sex marriage has increased among nearly all demographic groups.

Pete Buttigieg could become

Pete Buttigieg could become the first gay president. Americans are ready for one.

By David Byler (Data analyst and political columnist focusing on elections, polling, demographics and statistics) @ WashingtonPost.com, March 26

Right now, the political world is in the middle of the Buttigieg Boomlet. Everyone in the media (and even some voters) is going nuts for South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. He’s a 37-year-oldHarvard-educated Afghanistan war veteran who speaks about half a dozen languages and, like almost every Democrat in the United States, is running for president. And if Mayor Pete were to win the Democratic nomination, he’d be the first openly gay major-party presidential candidate.

A couple of decades ago, Buttigieg’s sexuality probably would have been a deal-breaker. But polling data suggests that American opinions on LGBT issues have shifted dramatically over the past couple of decades, and those shifts have created real room for a gay candidate. Buttigieg would undoubtedly face hurdles if he were to win the nomination, but Democrats could pick candidates with more serious deficits.

It’s hard to overstate how quickly Americans have collectively changed their mind on LGBT issues [....]

It's noteworthy that the #UMCGC has one of the largest generational splits on gay marriage between young (35 and under) and old (65 and over). The gap of 25 points is larger than ELCA, Catholics, PCUSA, and SBC. #GC2019 pic.twitter.com/3Y81LeNVkE

Bigender parity has been achieved in LA museum shows within just a couple years of the rule coming down from the powers that be!

In 2018, female artists finally outnumbered men in L.A. museums' solo shows https://t.co/56QqIrDAyj

20 years ago today, this young man was driven to a remote rural area of Wyoming. He was was robbed, pistol whipped, tortured, tied to a fence in near freezing temperatures and left to die. He survived 6 days before he finally passed.

He was gay. His name was Matthew Shepard. pic.twitter.com/xk5QY9eVlh

well go big picture, think of all the things that have happened that you couldn't imagine. Like Trump becoming president as well as gay marriage becoming acceptable. Radical change. And then think that: supreme court judges can be impeached, supreme court structure can be changed, political parties can change, etc.

Ah, but Nikki was wrong (though to be fair, he was much more the reformer than he's often given credit for - a bit of Russian bluster to cover changes underneath - pound a table with a shoe for effect, but in the end negotiate the treaties with slightly better conditions). Compared to Brezhnev, with Krushchev the kids were alright.
