Even on ballistic issues like abortion, the "never" and "always" believers tend to be a distinct minority; the vast American middle says, reluctantly, "sometimes." And while gay marriage may still be a bridge too far, as the results in Missouri demonstrate, Fiorina and Kohut agree that attitudes toward homosexuality (anti discrimination against gays) and racial issues (pro interracial dating) have become far more tolerant over...
