Calculus and Same-Sex Marriage Rights

kos over at dailykos.com highlights exactly why the right wing is so rabidly trying to pass constitutional amendments against state recognition of same-sex marriage and same-sex domestic partnerships by referring to an Eric Zorn article about a potentially huge defeat for heterosexist supremacists in Illinios. By looking at the above graphs of Pew Research polling data on approval/disapproval of gay marriage over time, one does not need to know multivariable calculus to clearly infer the trend that eventually a majority of the population in the United States will approve of allowing gays and lesbians to get married, like they already do in Spain, New York state and other places. Maybe the gay rights opponents either can't do the math or are hoping the second derivative of these polling graphs will change soon. Either way, they are unlikely to be 'right' in the future!
