Fine, use narrower examples. Use anything you like. Also, I'm not in favor of a national gay marriage ban. I think the states should be allowed to do what they want, so long as the FFCC doesn't force them to bow to more "progressive" states.
However, the argument you used, which basically equates to "well, in the past we've changed some things, and that worked," simply doesn't mean gay marriage is something this country should adopt. Perhaps it means we should be willing to consider change, but I think it would be very difficult to argue that Americans have yet to consider the prospect of gay marriage.
