I already have seen a softening among Christians toward homose*xuality and same s*x marriage. I think we will see more of it.
Now that Iowa has made same s*x marriage legal, we will see more states doing this. DC is probably next. (Interesting to note that Iowa is where the Maharisihi settled and started his university and still has a large group there after his death).
It does not garner much popularity to take a stand against this as it becomes more accepted in the culture. Nowadays Christians have children who attend school with kids with same s*x parents; how do they handle their child going to a birthday party, or invited to an overnight, at a friend's home whose parents are in a same s*x union? Things get more complicated as the culture slides further into immorality. -
I read the transcripts of the interview. He does not apologize for supporting prop 8 nor does he backslide. He apologized to friends for the press misrepresenting what he's said. It is so vitally important to hear what someone has to say in context because the press can do SO much damage by posting only a portion of what was said.
The link to the transcript is in the other thread "Warren has an agenda that doesn't include preaching on sin" or something like that. Read the context and see if he's backsliding on homosexual marriage. I don't think he is. -

I'd be willing to make a bet that if 49 states approve homosexual marriage, that Alabama will be the last state to disapprove. I have heard how we are last in a lot of areas like education, technological advances, & other things. Being last isn't all bad, especially if you're the last state remaining that defines marriage as being between a man & woman.
