As a very hilarious friend of mine says (though she's usually referring to the Good Ol' Boy Small Town we live in) "the only way things're gonna change? People have to die".
Of course, she doesn't mean that in a Karl Marx-ish, viva la revolución way, but from a generational standpoint. The majority of people born in the 70s and later are OK with gay rights, even if they themselves are not gay... it's the voters born before then...
(We're still shocked our Southern Baptist small town passed a ordinance to allow alcohol to be served in restaurants. Shocked.)
