Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Please, just do a simple Google search and educate yourself:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_of_same-sex_marriage_in_the_United_States
Gay Marriage has had one of the most radical changes in public opinion of any concept in general. The overwhelming majority of people are in favor of it, to the point that it would be law even in places you would not expect.
I said what I said about your comment because it was smug and objectively untrue. Nothing irritates me more than that combination. Please, understand the way you learned things years ago does not determine the immutability of them.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_constitutional_amendments_banning_same-sex_unions
That's a quick Google search. It barely made it through the supreme court, passing 5/4. I'm not sure where you are gathering your information, but it's skewed.
Another search https://www.dailysignal.com/2014/10/06/states-voted-gay-marriage-now-forced-upon/
Dude did you even read my original comment? I said that the public opinion towards same-sex marriage has changed drastically. I appreciate you linking an article from 2014 from a highly biased conservative site, but, aside from the bias, it has no relevancy as the source I linked to you was as of 2022.
Show me a source that actually supports your claim.
Also, I added the first additional link I found as anyone can update Wikipedia without validity.
