This week marks the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges to require states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

In the two years since the June 26, 2015, decision, public opinion has continued to swing in support of same-sex marriage, though growth in the number of LGBT adults who are getting married has been more modest.

Public support for same-sex marriage is at an all-time high, with 62 percent of Americans in favor and 32 percent opposed, according to a Pew Research study conducted last month.

The shift in the last few years has been dramatic. Support jumped by 7 percentage points in the last year alone. As recent as 2010, more Americans opposed than favored gay marriage.

The demographics of supporters is also shifting. For the first time this year, a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents do not oppose same-sex marriage. Opposition has dropped from 61 percent in 2013 to 48 percent in 2017.

Also notable: Support among baby boomers jumped 10 percentage points last year, and support among younger white evangelicals jumped nearly 20 points—from 29 percent in March 2016 to 47 percent last month.

Marriage rates among LGBT individuals have also increased, though more modestly. About 10.2 percent of LGBT adults in the United States are married to a same-sex spouse, according to a Gallup poll released last week. That’s up from 7.9 percent in the months prior to the Obergefell decision, but only slightly higher than last year’s 9.6 percent.

As has been the case, LGBT Americans are still more likely to be married to an opposite-sex spouse, with 13.1 percent saying they are in a heterosexual marriage, a statistic Gallup explains with the fact that roughly half of LGBT individuals consider themselves bisexual.

The percent of Americans who consider themselves LGBT is also on the rise, from 3.4 percent in 2012 to 4.3 percent in the last year.

Conservative cardinals pressure the pope

Four conservative cardinals last month sent a letter to Pope Francis asking for an audience with him and arguing that his vague stance on divorced and civilly remarried Catholics is dividing the Catholic Church.

After no response for over a month, the blog of veteran Vatican journalist Sandro Magister published the letter on June 20.

The letter, signed by Cardinal Carlo Caffarra on behalf of Cardinals Walter Brandmüller, Raymond L. Burke, and Joachim Meisner, noted Francis was also silent in response to a September request for clarification on his “Joy of Love” apostolic exhortation last year, opening to the door for civilly remarried Catholics to receive communion.

Since then, bishops and bishops conferences globally have published differing interpretations of the exhortation, some saying marriage is still indissoluble and others arguing Francis made a way for remarried Catholics to take communion without abstaining from sex, which is historic church teaching.

“How painful it is to see this—that what is sin in Poland is good in Germany, that what is prohibited in the archdiocese of Philadelphia is permitted in Malta,” wrote the cardinals. “Faced with this grave situation, in which many Christian communities are being divided, we feel the weight of our responsibility, and our conscience impels us to ask humbly and respectfully for an audience.” —K.C.

Tough love

Former No. 1 National Football League draft pick and current ESPN commentator Keyshawn Johnson pulled his son out of the University of Nebraska last week.

Keyshawn Johnson Jr. was cited for marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia earlier this month. He came to the University of Nebraska a semester early as a celebrated wide receiver recruit with hopes of playing during the 2017 season.

But Johnson Sr. has changed the plan. He told the Omaha World-Herald his son will spend six months at home in California before reconsidering if he will return.

“You’re in college now,” Johnson Sr. said. “You’re an adult. You’re not a kid. You take a look at it from afar and let me know how important it is to you.”

When asked about his son’s opinion on the decision, Johnson Sr. said, “I never asked him.”

“At the end of the day, I don’t think that decision was in his hands,” he continued. “He squandered that decision. He still wants to play football, and he still wants to play for Nebraska. But if you don’t do the things you’re supposed to do, under the guidelines of me, it’s not going to happen.” —K.C.

Selective tolerance in education

An Orthodox Jewish girls school in East London is facing closure for not agreeing to teach its students—ages 3 to 8—about gender reassignment or homosexuality.

The U.K.’s Office of Standards in Education cited Vishnitz Girls School for the third time this month, arguing the school does not give its pupils “a full understanding of fundamental British values.”

While acknowledging the students are “well-motivated, have positive attitudes to learning and are confident in thinking for themselves,” and that the teachers’ “good subject knowledge and high quality classroom resources inspire pupils with enthusiasm for learning,” the report asserts the school’s decision not to explicitly teach about issues such as sexual orientation “restricts pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development and does not promote equality of opportunity in ways that take account of differing lifestyles.”

It’s unclear how the government plans to follow up on the citation if the school does not comply, and the school has not made its response public. —K.C.

Mother pushing for restroom access for transgender teen

The mother of a 16-year-old transgender student is suing a Florida high school for denying her child access to the boys restroom. The teen, identified as Drew Adams in the complaint, was born female but has identified as male since 2015.

After an anonymous complaint shortly after Adams began identifying as a male, Allen D. Nease High School, in Ponte Vedra, Fla., told Adams to use a single occupancy, gender-neutral restroom instead of the boys restroom.

Adams’ mother is suing the St. Johns County School Board for discrimination.

“It makes me feel isolated from the rest of the student body,” Drew told The St. Augustine Record. “It’s telling me that the school district sees me as a lesser person just because I’m transgender.” —K.C.

Gender-neutral entertainment

Common Sense Media, an entertainment rating website for parents that reaches 45 million American households monthly, is stepping beyond warnings about explicit or violent content into cautions about gender stereotyping. The site now has a symbol for “positive gender representation” that will appear with a film or TV show that promotes nontraditional gender roles. —K.C.

Germany moves to legalize same-sex marriage

The German Parliament on Friday voted in favor of same-sex marriage. The vote came on the last day of the session before a summer recess. The measure still needs formal approval from the upper house of Parliament and the president’s signature. —K.C.
