I can't find the numbers right now, maybe someone else has them, but if I remember correctly, 2 examples - interracial marriage in late 1960s and same-sex marriage in 2010s - show that support for these kind of relationships grew much faster after they were made legal in all states in US.

So I partially agree with you - there must be a certain culture change happening, but it can and it should be supported by law in order to happen faster.

Because the people who were on the "no" side of things weren't really affected by it (because the were never going to do those things anyway) and the sky didn't fall when other people did. You see this same thing happen every time a state loosens its abortion, gun, alcohol, drug, etc, laws. People say the sky is gonna fall and then it doesn't.

Is this true?

According to Pew, gay marriage was supported by more people than opposed it in 2010, a full five years before legalization.

Not even leaders for the liberal party, like Obama and Hillary Clinton supported it until a few years later.
