“Support for same-sex marriage increased significantly in the past decade, reaching a near-record high of about 68% in 2025. However, The Economist/YouGov’s 2025 annual poll surveyed 1,623 adult U.S. citizens between October 24 and October 27, 2025. When asked if they think same-sex marriage should be legal, 54% said yes, 33% said no, and 13% were unsure. These numbers mark a considerable drop from just a few years ago, when Gallup’s 2021 poll found that a record-high 70% of Americans supported same-sex marriage. My piece shows two women getting married, their rings floating around them, and a war of agreement and disagreement on either side.”
