With an unsupportive administration in the White House, it can feel like America has turned against us. Which is why the latest Pew survey on same-sex marriage is such a nice bit of news.

Two years after the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges made marriage equality legal in all 50 states, more Americans than ever support the freedom to marry—even groups who have traditionally opposed that right.

The survey, conducted earlier this month, indicates 62% of Americans are in favor of marriage equality, as opposed to just 32% against it. That's the highest level since the Pew Center began polling on the issue more than two decades ago.

What's more, Republicans are basically split on the issue: 47% of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning respondents favored same-sex marriage, compared to 48% opposed. When you realized that, as recent as 2013, GOP members opposed marriage equality nearly two-to-one, that's an incredible jump.

And it's proof, even in these tough times, that we are winning.

Other groups that have held out against same-sex marriage are also coming around, now that it's become something of an everyday reality: For the first time, more than half of Baby Boomers (56%) think we should be able to put a ring on it. (Only 41% of the Silent Generation—people born between 1920 and 1940— favor same-sex marriage.)

Support is also up among young white Evangelicals, African-Americans and Latinos, all groups that were dragging their feet in the past. (Among blacks, 51% support marriage equality—a massive rise of 12% from just two years ago.)

This is all great news to be celebrated, but we can't ignore the reality that the minority of people who oppose our love are extremely vocal, well beyond their numbers. They're pushing legislators to pass legislation that will roll back our hard-won rights. Earlier this year, a Texas court agreed to hear a case that would limit the benefits given to same-sex spouses of city employees. A bill introduced in the Arkansas Legislature would only recognize marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

We can be no less energized in our defense.
