Here is the poll you referenced:
"Do you believe gays and lesbians should be allowed to get legally married, allowed a legal partnership similar to but not called marriage, or should there be no legal recognition given to gay and lesbian relationships?"

So, unlike your claim, in fact more people prefer marriage to civil unions and by a significant margin. So you where wrong on that whole majority thing, and wrong that only a small minority prefer to call it marriage. In fact you posted results which show you to be 100 % completely wrong. You won't admit this, and will continue to make excuses why the things you image really are true, despite all the evidence saying otherwise. But that will not change the fact that you where wrong.
Here you exhibit typical ideologue fantasizing.
You present the poll question that validates precisely what I stated, that 63% oppose the word "marriage" applying to SS couples, and that if given a choice between "marriage" or "no recognition" 55-57% support "marriage" (as the general poll in the link stated) but if you allow state recognition without the word "marriage", "marriage" support drops to 37% and opposition to recognition
also drops to 25%, meaning that
then recognition support jumps from 55-57% to a whopping 70%! This
clearly proves that SS activists' best chances for success in winning public support for state recognition in the remaining great majority of states -- where there are already state constitutional amendments stating that "marriage is only between a man and a woman as husband and wife" -- is to enact civil union domestic partnership statutes for SS couples and call them
homarriage or the like.
But then you just
pretend that's not the obviously presented case! :shock:
Instead you then you just deny the
obvious realities with "Nuh uh, no it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not!!!" in true ideologue
disconnect from reality fashion.
So here's a reality check for you: only
liberal run states are going to allow the ludicrous oxymoronic SS "marriage".
The rest of the states are run by centrists and conservatives, together comprising the
vast majority of Americans.
These people aren't susceptible to the brainwashing of SS activists' employment of repetitive mantra oxymoronic chanting.
And, that's reflected in this poll.
Only big-city liberals support the oxymorons, and that demographic is essentially all used up now.
Facing reality is really for the best, and, as the statistics show, that means facing the reality that the states with constitutional amendments banning SS "marriage", many requiring a two-thirds majority to change their constitution, well, it simply
ain't gonna happen.
I've tried to show you how "homarriage" opens the door to getting what you
really and initially wanted: state recognition of SS relationships all across America.
But you SS activists are so oppositionally defiant about stealing what from a foundational definitive propriety appeal simply does not belong to you that you uttterly fail to see the reasonableness of my recommendation.
But, that's the legacy ideologues always leave: unresonable oppositional defiance and fantasy denial of
obvious realities.
