Jim Daly: The Long Defeat

Jim Daly
This is part of a statement made by Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family:

We're losing on that one, especially among the 20- and 30-somethings: 65 to 70 percent of them favor same-sex marriage. I don't know if that's going to change with a little more age—demographers would say probably not. We've probably lost that. I don't want to be extremist here, but I think we need to start calculating where we are in the culture.
 All of us have seen that the tide is turning against the haters when it comes to LGBT rights in general. It is why DADT is on its way out the door within the year. It's why there ARE states in which performance/recognition of same-sex marriages exists. It is why several polls are, for the first time in history, saying that a majority of Americans are for marriage equality. If people like Jim Daly, Bryan Fisher, and Tony Perkins wish to fight the long defeat, they are certainly free to do so. They MUST realize that history will not look kindly on them. They will be the George Wallace's of their generation.
