Poll: Support For Same Sex Marriage Grows
(CBS)
Support for same sex marriage is now at its highest point since CBS News starting asking about it in 2004.
Twenty-eight percent say same sex couples should have no legal recognition – down from 35 percent in March – while 25 percent support civil unions, but not marriage, for gay couples.
As has historically been the case on this issue, liberals are more likely to support same sex marriage. Sixty-nine percent support the idea, while conservatives generally favor either civil unions (28 percent) or no legal recognition (44 percent).

This poll was conducted among a random sample of 973 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone April 22-26, 2009. Phone numbers were dialed from RDD samples of both standard land-lines and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.
An oversample of African Americans were interviewed for a total of 212 interviews with African Americans. The results then weighted in proportion to the racial composition of the adult population in the U.S. Census. The margin of error for the sample of African Americans is 7 points.

This is about civil rights plain and simple. We are only as free as our most discriminated citizens. If Gay people are discriminated against, then America is not the land of equality, let alone the land of the free and the brave.
I think it is disgusting that men want to marry women and women want to marry men. What is the world coming to!
"God did not intend for this.,"
There is no such thing as "god," so keep your so called "beliefs" off my body. Religion is only for people willing to cede their agency, and money, and let the others do the thinking for them. It is nothing more than an ecclesiastic corporation. So sad.
"people wonder why this world is so messed up. Look at yourself and there's the answer. It makes me SICK"
Indeed. When people tell other people what to do, how to live, who to live, because of their own myopia, ignorance, and insecurity the world becomes messed up.
The reason to support gay marriage because of equality is ludicrous. Thank God that there are some people here aren't manipulated by the media and gay people into accepting gay marriage lifestyle. They have common sense and actually listen to their conscience. Gay is simply wrong. Look at science itself. Every species on this earth evolved and increased population by males having sex with females, not males with males or females with females. The only species that don't have a spouse to increase population are asexual, meaning that they divide themselves.
