“…Differences in SSM experiences due to sexual orientation should also be explored. Previous research has found that bisexual men and women significantly differ in their attitudes toward SSM from each other and from their gay and lesbian counterparts (Galupo & Pearl, 2007). Previous studies also suggest that bisexual-lesbian couples may experience SSM differently than lesbian-lesbian couples (Lannutti, 2007a).…”

This study examines older same-sex couples’ experiences with legally recognized same-sex marriage (SSM). Thirty-six same-sex couples who ranged in age from 56 to 73 ( M = 63.75) participated in semi-standardized interviews about their reaction to SSM and the surrounding debates, the impact of SSM on their relationship and social network, and their decision to marry or not. Three themes emerged from older same-sex couples’ descriptions of their experiences with SSM: an increased sense of security, an increased sense of recognition, and misgivings about SSM. Results reflect the unique historical perspective and challenges of older same-sex couples as they negotiate a changing social context.

“…The public is also split over these issues. Fifty-five percent thinks that "marriages between same-sex couples" should be recognized as valid by the law (Gallup, 2014). On immigration, 43% of Americans support a path to citizenship as a means for "immigrants currently in the U.S. illegally who meet certain requirements" to stay legally (Pew Research Center, 2013).…”

We propose a model of how messages about groups one personally dislikes affect individual attitudes. We build upon theories of message persuasion and out-group acceptance to account for evidence type (numerical vs. narrative), facilitating conditions (encouraging empathy vs. objectivity), and the underlying mechanisms (immersion). We test this model in a pretest-posttest experiment, in which a sample of Americans ( N = 601) read counter-attitudinal commentaries below articles presenting either narrative or numerical evidence about illegal immigrants or same-sex couples. Narratives led to greater message acceptance and greater immersion, especially in the empathetic condition. In turn, numerical messages led to self-perceived attitude change in the objective condition. Persuasive effects of narratives in the empathetic, but not the objective, condition were mediated by immersion.

“…Public opinion studies, however, show that levels of support vary among demographic, political, and religious groups (Baunach, 9 2012;Lewis, 2003;Olson, Cadge, and Harrison, 2006;Pew Research, 2013a;Powell, Yurk Quadlin, and Pizmony-Levy, 2015). Consistently, studies find that women, higher educated people, non-religious individuals, younger generations, and political liberals support same-sex marriage at higher levels than men, lower educated people, religious individuals, older generations, and political conservatives (Andersen and Fetner, 2008;Brumbaugh et al, 2008;Galupo and Pearl, 2007;Haider-Markel andJoslyn, 2005, 2008;Kreitzer, Hamilton, and Tolbert, 2014;Lewis, 2011;Lewis and Gossett, 2008;McCarthy, 2015McCarthy, , 2014Sherkat, de Vries, and Creek, 2010;Whitehead, 2010;Woodford et al, 2012). Also, work has shown that heterosexual people who report having a personal connection to gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals are more likely to have a positive attitude towards gay rights (Fetner, 2016;Herek, 2002;Herek & Capitanio, 1996).…”

Backlash or a Positive Response?: Public Opinion of LGB Issues After Obergefell v. Hodges

Following Obergefell v. Hodges, same-sex marriage remains controversial and anti-LGBT state legislation has been passed, which raises questions about whether the Supreme Court's ruling may have created a backlash. We use data from two waves of a general population survey of Nebraskans conducted before and after the decision to answer three questions. First, we test three theories of how the Court decision influenced public opinion. We find that support for same-sex marriage was significantly higher following the ruling, suggesting that there was not a backlash to it. Second, we assess whether people perceive that the court accurately reflects the public's opinion. We find that people who favor same-sex marriage are more likely to think that the ruling refects public opinion very well; those who oppose same-sex marriage are more likely to think that the ruling does not at all reflect public opinion. Third, we examine the association between discussing gay rights and support for same-sex marriage, finding that those who talk about LGB issues very often are more likely to favor same-sex marriage. We discuss the implications of these findings in relation to two of the themes of this special issue: the influence of marriage equality on Americans' understandings of marriage and the impact of marriage equality on future LGBT activism.
