It's purely a number-of-votes play, and you have to remember in these cases that the number of votes swings elderly. The old folk vote more often and in large numbers. So politics protects their sensibilities... even when they aren't... sensible.
This is also true of the gay marriage issue. The young ppl are overwhelmingly in favor of it, the old ppl resent and hate it, the old ppl win.
