I know that everyone is on his or her own unique journey with the issue of same sex marriage, and I respect that. But every time I recall the age of Republican State Senator Joe Fain—31 years old—I think: Really? He's undecided?

I mean, check out the Washington Poll's recent "closer look" findings on this issue. In Fain's age demographic in this state, 65 percent of people favor gay marriage—the highest "pass it" percentage of any demographic the Washington Poll has looked at.

Only 29 percent of people in Fain's age group oppose gay marriage, and a miniscule amount—6 percent—are, as Fain claims to be, undecided. (Not religiously or politically opposed. Not supportive except for that whole marriage thing. Just: undecided.)

It's very easy to understand why people Fain's age would, according to the Washington Poll, be more supportive of gay marriage and less undecided on the matter than any other demographic. People his age have grown up in a culture that's quickly become more accepting of gay rights, they know more out gay people, and they just don't see the whole thing as that hard of a problem to figure out. Duh: Let committed same sex couples marry, and give them the same rights under the law as other married citizens.

What's hard to understand is how Fain got to be where he claims to be: undecided. (And it's especially hard because Fain's not talking about his decision-making process on this right now.)

So I'm left to wonder: Has Fain really not thought much about this issue? Is he really comfortable with the possibility of going down in history as the youngest Washington State Senator to vote against gay marriage the year it passed? Can he really imagine a "no" vote potentially following him for decades of future public service? Or does he really think that society is moving toward less acceptance of gay couples, and therefore future decades will bear out his current against-the-grain foresight?

Most of all, though, I just come back to this: Joe Fain, 31, is undecided on gay marriage—really?
