Clarification re: "the current opposition of most people"

Nothing in my post -- in which I noted the "current opposition of most people" to same-sex marriage -- is inconsistent with Michael's observations that (a) a majority of Americans, according to some polls, anyway, support some kind of legal recognition for same-sex couples and (b) the opposition to same-sex marriage (or, at least, a willingness to express such opposition publicly or to pollsters) is waning (though, I suspect, in a way that is not evenly distributed across the states).  This "waning" phenomenon -- which has, I suspect, a number of causes and which I expect to continue -- is the reason I used the word "current."
