We are in an era that is termed as the post-sin generation. This is a term thatis anathema for far right social conservatives and an undefined number of traditional Christians. from For Christian Millennials gay marriage debate produces new views on morality - Yahoo News
"Across the denominational spectrum, Millennials – including many among the more conservative Evangelicals and Catholics – are pondering interpretations of Scripture, and they’re finding new meanings of morality and Christian love. These young people are also feeling a disconnect between their church life and US society, where cultural understandings of human sexuality have been changing quickly and dramatically."
“'When everywhere you go you have full equality – the military, on TV, in business ... in schools, university classes, political institutions – and only in this one outpost of culture do you have people not accepting – it forces questions for our young people,' says David Gushee, a professor of Christian ethics at Mercer University in Atlanta, who is considered one of the nation’s leading evangelical ethicists."
At the very least the Millennials will split into liberal, uncertain, and conservative groups on the issue of marriage equality in public and in private. I believe that the issue will become less political over the coming decades.
