The map is slightly misleading. At first glance, you would assume blue states have a majority (over 50%) supporting gay marriage, red states have a majority opposed. However, the lightest shade of blue is 40-49% support.
While I personally support gay marriage, I think this actually hurts the cause. It appears to under-report the opposition to gay marriage and how much work still remains.

As it says plurality, I assume there were more than two options for a stance, ex. "Don't care' keeping "Support" from being the majority, but still a leading opinion.

yes it is but as I said a decade later a lotta old ppl will die and with better education the number would go up automatically . The lowest any major city gets is 68% at Dallas with NYC and others touching 91% already
