The OP knows that gay marriage is a heated political issue.

Is there anyone on LW who still has a problem with gay people?

edit: "people" not "problem"

What do you mean by a problem in this context? I think there's a decent Burkian argument that there will be unforeseen consequences that won't become apparent until well after gay marriage is common. But I'm strongly in favor of gay marriage.

My point was that, although gay marriage might be a "heated political issue" among the general public, it's not controversial here.

I mean hell, evolution is controversial to the public but LWers mention it all the time.

Yeah, in that sort of context, you're correct. There's almost certainly no substantial controversy here in that sense.

"Still" is a wrong assumption.

My gut reaction is that very few, if any, current LW-ers have a problem with gay marriage. Because of the context of the OP, I was referring to the general American public. Sorry, I could have been more clear about that.
