Analysis by anecdote is always a treacherous thing. But sometimes you can see when the tide of opinion and the history is palpably turning.

A has-been PGA golfer made a doofus anti-gay remark about Sam on Twitter and now looks poised to get fined by the PGA for making the organization look bad. And this all comes amidst reports out of Arizona that basically everyone is turning against the “go ahead and hate on gays” bill that now sits on the Governor’s desk, including a good number of the people who passed it in the first place.
