If only those 18-29 voted, 38 of 50 states would be OK with same sex marriage

Really really interesting PDF graph linked below plotting explicit support of same sex marriage by stage and age.

Basically, in 65+ age groups no state is over 35% approval. With 18-29 year olds, all states but 12 in the South are OK with same sex marriage.

Another sign it's only a matter of time.

We plot explicit support for allowing same-sex marriage broken down by state and by age. Seven states cross the 50% mark overall as of our current estimates, but the generation gap is huge. If policy were set by state-by-state majorities of those 65 or older, none would allow same-sex marriage. If policy were set by those under 30, only 12 states would not allow-same-sex marriage.
