Chart of the Day: “Explicit Support for Same-Sex Marriage by State and Age” (pdf) by Jeff Lax and Justin Phillips of the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. Created using data collected for a joint paper on gay rights.
Prof. Lax breaks it down:
Seven states cross the 50% mark overall as of our current estimates, but the generation gap is huge. If policy were set by state-by-state majorities of those 65 or older, none would allow same-sex marriage. If policy were set by those under 30, only 12 states would not allow-same-sex marriage.

“ But texting and the utilitarian mind-set are naturally corrosive toward poetry and imagination. A coat of ironic detachment is required for anyone who hopes to withstand the brutal feedback of the marketplace. In today’s world, the choice of a Prius can be a more sanctified act than the choice of an erotic partner.
David Brooks has discovered that kids today use cell phones to communicate with each other—and that, sometimes, they even use “texting” to “hook up” with their “sex partners.” Thanks to the magic of technology, we are all no longer “going steady” under watchful parents’ eyes, and instead have collectively become a generation of slutty slut sluts, rampantly texting each other to frantically intermingle genitals completely unconstrained from disapproving norms and societal institutions.
Personally, I don’t think I have ever engaged in the sort of technological “free agent” “comparison-shopping” that Brooks describes, though it sounds kind of neat. Being more of a traditionalist, I’ve stuck with the “old-fashioned” method of landing boyfriends: leaving bars with them after excessive drinking. (hi, honey!)
