Nope. Show me these sociology studies that prove what you are saying. That a majority of people have the
exact same veiws on marriage.
Also, to use sociological terms, a significant minority doesn't make belief in homosexual marriage a cultural taboo or the hallmark of a subculture either.
From a sociological standpoint, our culture is mostly comprised of many significant minorities. To qualify as being outside the mainstream culture requires that behavior be outside the normal practices of the culture. Watch network television and you will see that homosexuality is not outside the main stream anymore.
Also sociology occasionally changes whats tabboo and what is norm, what is culture and what is subculture, so its not exactly an exact science. It changes just as society does.
With regards to homosexuality and sexuality in general, our society is changing, and has been for a while now. So yesterdays norm isn't neccessarily todays.
Of course it has been many years since I studied sociology, so I may be rusty on my use and application of terminology and such, so any sociologists who are reading this feel free to correct the errors of my way.
