six, it goes much further than just parents. like i've said before, the norms of society most often are set by religious standards. regardless of whether one beleives or not, if the majority does, then their beleif system will most likely be the social norm, and therefore be the popular idea.
now with that in mind...
politicians have lots of different ways of getting elected. it has alot to do with where you're from. when you're from alabama, many of the voting public appreciate a "godfearing man" who will represent them and their beleifs when enacting laws. we're talking about the bible belt, folks. we're talking about a state that to this day is still very unfriendly to minorties regardless of how long it's been outlawed to do so... and when those people spoke out and said they want this "godfearing man" to represent them, they placed a responsibility on this man to keep them happy and represent their wishes... if he dosen't he's out of a job.
so where does that leave us?
a state whose public is very religiously driven will of course oppose any kind of "deviancy" regardless of how modern other states have become. in a typical southerner's mind, there is no desire to grow and become a thriving modern metropolis... and they sure as shit don't want all of the "Sin and Debaucthury" that goes with it.
we're talking about alabama, folks. this should come as no big suprise. an amusement to those of us who consider ourselves more "modern" than those "good ol' boys", but not a suprise.
