As of May 2022, 71% of people surveyed were in favor.
President Biden is part of that evolution.
By signing the Respect for Marriage Act, he repealed DOMA.

This increased to about 50% at the end of the century but exponentially grew in the 2000s.
As of 2021, 94% of the public supported interracial marriage.
It demonstrates a shift in attitudes about marriage equality.
