Same-Sex Marriage Support Reaches New High at 55% (Gallup)
Gallup ^ | May 21, 2014 | Justin McCarthy

Posted on 05/21/2014 8:31:25 AM PDT by C19fan

Americans' support for the law recognizing same-sex marriages as legally valid has increased yet again, now at 55%. Marriage equality advocates have had a string of legal successes over the past year, most recently this week in Pennsylvania and Oregon where federal judges struck down bans on gay marriage. Two successive Gallup polls in 2012 saw support climb from 53% to 54%, indicating a steady but slight growth in acceptance of gay marriages over the past year after a more rapid increase between 2009 and 2011. In the latest May 8-11 poll, there is further evidence that support for gay marriage has solidified above the majority level. This comes on the heels of gay marriage proponents' 14th legal victory in a row.

In famous words of Hudson from "Aliens":

That's it, man. Game over, man! Game over! What the *uck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?

What a rout although more the speed of which this has happened than it happening. Starting with perhaps the introduction of the pill, marriage as some communal sacred institution has been thoroughly destroyed. Gay marriage is just the coup d'grace.

Our Communist County Executive was running around last night urging every queer couple to get online and file for a license NOW before some EEEEEVIL appeals court issues an injunction.

Too bad the gays can’t find a judge who will void Darwinian law.

As I recall, this is the same organization that predicted a Romney win in 2012.

Probably polled from the LGBT community.

Odd that when it goes up for vote - even in liberal states like California - the voters (in secret) don’t actually approve. But over the phone, knowing the tactics of the gay mafia, they are all in.

Decades of constant promoting the homosexual agenda, in both the news media, and entertainment media, has paid off, hasn’t it?

How many of us will ever forget “Gay Marriage Week” in May 2012, when Obama declared his support for homosexual marriage? My God, I couldn’t believe how the media celebrated for an entire week. A president taking a policy position puts the media into a mediagasm????

And there aren't enough turkey basters, either.

God is in control, not man. He sees this idolatry and open rebellion against His institution.

Man’s worship of sex and himself will not stand.

It is very simple - the perverts have won and America is on it's way to full TRANSFORMATION as promised by the first gay US President.

Next up pedophilia, polygamy, legalizing rape and prostitution, AND FULL SCALE attacks on Christianity and imprisoning Clergy who preach against this immoral sexual perversion.

Though the accuracy of a Gallup poll is rather dubious, I have no doubt there were Republicans, some self-described conservatives and a healthy showing of libertarians that rounded out the field.

There was a poll taken in Heaven some years back, and 33% of the respondents said Lucifer would make a better CEO than Jehovah. They’ll suffer for that answer for all eternity, but before they do, they’ll make sure as many of God’s children suffer with them. The poll says 55% of God’s children think Satan makes a better CEO than Jehovah. Not very reasonable is it?

It is hard for me to buy this poll. We live in liberal land near Seattle, WA and I am not sure that even here “support” is that high. That said... when the leadership in Russia is more conservative than we are on an issue like this it makes you realize what a topsy-turvy world we now live in. Just remember to remind your wife not to look back when you are forced to flee from this land.

these polls are “forum selected”.

It is like cnn or fnc doing their man on the street interviews and all the questioned persons are from NYC.

I can see them moving pretty quickly for prostitution and polygamy, the ones between consenting adults.

Decades ago the Communist Party Congress of the Soviet Union defined their goals to destroy the taboo structure of the most powerful nation on Earth. They are merely finishing it off using little barry bastard boy’s political party. This suits the globalist oligarchy because a nation of we the people sovereigns having such a powerful military to blunt the globalist agenda simply cannot be allowed to remain as an obstacle to one world order, as the Bushes have so openly endorsed, also.

To quote Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty; “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there...It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me.”

Couldn’t agree with Phil more.

So 55% support for smelly stinky vile filthy butt sex...eeewwwwww!!! Well...they can have it and all the consequences that accompany that unnatural act or abomination against nature — They can lie to themselves all they want, but the simple fact of the matter is when you do what they do and they get what they get they can’t blame anyone else but themselves for the health problems that come with committing unnatural acts against nature — There is a reason that disease is a result of that behavior, “you ain’t supposed to be putting it there.”

55% would choose $hit over shinola apparently.

Too many people letting their kids watch Will and Grace in the 90's. That's what did it.
