Do you support legalizing gay marriage?[W:667]

Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Townhall.com is a conservative website... meaning that conservatives frequent it... meaning that any results will be biased and irrelevant.

Here's one from Pew Research from June of 2013:

Gay Marriage: Key Data Points from Pew Research | Pew Research Center

51% support SSM. Lots of data here showing how many people have changed their minds... and again, the percentages have been steadily rising over the past decade and only the over 65 crowd seems to be holding out.

And here we have another interesting poll.

That would be "I don't support SSM".
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Now, what can we conclude from all this information? Well, firstly we can conclude that NP's poll is the least scientific and the least reliable. We can also conclude that Americans have been increasingly supporting SSM ACROSS THE BOARD. All demographics have shown increasing support... including Republicans and older adults. For example, according to the Pew data, only 21% of older adults supported SSM in 2001; in 2013, 36% supported it. In 2001, Catholics were at 38% and Protestants were at 40%; in 2013, Catholics were at 55%, Protestants 54%. Even Evangelical Protestant support went from 13% to 23% between 2001 and 2013.

The CBS poll shows that Republican support for SSM has changed from 13% to 37% just since 2012.

Ultimately, the conclusion is this. More and more Americans are supporting SSM across all demographics. Of course, there will always be a few opponents who will ignore information and research and stick to their biases, but as we can see, those people are becoming fewer and fewer.

Instead of referencing a ton of separate polls, polling report is the place to go: Civil Rights
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

What a pathetic poll...I am not giving my email address to anyone unless I have to or it's important.

Neither is the case here.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Yes. I support equal marriage rights for men and women. Full stop.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

Who'd-a thunk???? :roll:

Shocking.

What's even worse is you can type in a completely bogus email address and zip code.

I tried email@email.com and 99999. That email address didn't work because it had already been used.
I then tried email10@email.com and 99999 and it worked. :doh

You know, for a "straight" guy, navypride sure does spend a lot of time thinking about homosexual sex.
 
Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?

More people support legalization of marijuana than homosexual marriage. That's interesting.

That's exactly how I feel. Government should have no interest in nor a say in this issue.

Why would anyone care about who another adult marries??
