Support for same-sex marriage in the United States has reached a record high, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.
The survey found that 70 percent of respondents in the U.S. said that marriages between same-sex couples should be recognized by the law as valid, an increase of 3 percentage points from June 2020.
Gallup found that the latest increase in support for same-sex marriage was driven by Republicans, with 55 percent saying it should be recognized as valid. This is the first time Gallup recorded a majority of Republicans supporting same-sex marriage.
Meanwhile, 73 percent of independents expressed support for same-sex marriage, up slightly from the 68- to 71-percent range recorded over the past few years. In addition, 83 percent of Democrats expressed support for same-sex marriage, remaining steady over the past few years.
Gallup first began gauging Americans’ views on same-sex marriage in 1996, finding at the time that only 27 percent of Americans supported legal recognition of gay and lesbian marriages.
Gallup said it first recorded a majority support for gay marriage in 2011. When the Supreme Court ruled that all states must recognize same-sex marriage in 2015, support for gay marriage reached 60 percent.
Gallup’s latest poll surveyed 1,016 adults between May 3-18, 2021. The margin of sampling error is 4 percentage points.
Well it’s a poll..ignore it.
If gubmint isn’t willing to demonstrate that it understands the superior value of a father and a mother, well then marry your cat.
There will be a backlash against these sick humans sooner or later
And there you have it.
The poll was probably conducted in San Francisco and nowhere else.
This is what happens when the Bible is twisted by Pastors with fog machines and bands.
Just wait until Hollyweird teams up with big government to normalize polygamy.
And after that, a sharply lowered “age of consent.”
Seriously. It seems inevitable.
Or else!
They didn’t ask me.
That is why they went total “cradle to grave”, 25×8, pervasive in all subject matter.
And the atheistic humanists/social marxists really wanted to pervert the children of heterosexual “Christian” files, and to deconstruct the family.
The beneficiary of all the family breakdown, chaos, lawlessness, and bloodshed of innocent unloved little people, and the destruction of America’s moral fabric - is totalitarian government.
Utter nonsense
"Support" doesn't mean enthusiasts only, but also people who are indifferently OK with the way things are already.
What really got under my skin was hearing the news from one of these RINOs: https://mobile.twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/1402242403113787395
“Harmful and incorrect beliefs”
Had it been from a liberal it would have been one thing but from a self-proclaimed conservative...my blood is boiling.
It’s not for random adults taking a poll to decide this question. And obviously it’s not up to the voters either since 5 robed “justices” decided for all Americans. Ultimately God will pass his final judgment.
Fine by me. We can handle it.
Sounds like the poll was taken within the confines of the Gallup office.
The left doesn’t even like to hear this. Might deflate their never-ending grievances.
Wow, that’s low for Gallup. Expected it to be 120% this time.
