- Premise from the textbook
- In 1973, more than three-fourths of U.S. adults expressed the opinion that sexual relations between two people of the same sex was wrong.
- By about 1990, however, this attitude began to change.
- By 2014, such disapproval was expressed by just 44% of the population.
- This dramatic change in public opinion about same-sex relations is a key reason for rapid expansion of same-sex marriage, which now has the support of a majority of U.S. adults and became the law of many states from 2015.
