Sully points us to a remarkable shift in Americans’ support for marriage equality:

CNN’s latest poll, in the wake of the Walker decision, is easily the most promising to date for those of us in support of marriage rights for all. For the first time, a slim majority of all Americans backs not just marriage, but a constitutional right to marriage for gay couples. A majority, in other words, believes this to be a civil rights issue, which, of course, it is, because civil marriage has long been regarded as a fundamental civil right in American constitutional history. And a majority is in favor! 

Of course, the same poll showed an even division on birthright citizenship and hefty opposition to the Cordoba Project. Maybe the new “other” is increasingly not the gays, but Muslims and the children of illegal immigrants. Sigh.
