Gallup Poll: Strong Majority Now Believe Gays Should Be Allowed to Adopt Kids
Christian Post ^ | 06/02/2014 | Napp Nazworth

Posted on 06/02/2014 9:28:28 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A strong majority, 63 percent, of Americans now say that same-sex couples should have a legal right to adopt a child, according to a new Gallup poll. About one in three, 35 percent, are opposed.

The result is the opposite of 1992, when Gallup first polled the question. Sixty-three percent said homosexual couples should not be legally permitted to adopt in that year. In 1998, that number declined to 57 percent. In 2003 and 2007, Americans were about equally divided on the question.

The recent poll was the first time Gallup showed a clear majority supportive of giving same-sex couples the legal right to adopt a child.

The strongest support came from Democrats (80 percent), followed by independents (61 percent), then Republicans (51 percent).

Young people were more supportive than older people. Among ages 18 to 29, 77 percent answered that same-sex couples should have the right to adopt, followed by 65 percent for ages 30 to 49, 59 percent for ages 50 to 64 and 52 percent for those 65 and older.

The poster left out an “l.” “Polled” not “poled.” Good grief! ;-)

But you are in fine form this morning.

Have you seen JoeProBono lately? Heard from him?

Actually I changed it, removing the 'l' to improve the post.

No, per JPB I have not heard from him lately.

For me, art is the third highest pursuit of man. First being a relationship with God and the second being a relationship with other people.

The look of my car, my computer, my stereo and my home and yard are all art.

"Considering his name, I think he was basically removing all doubt about that."

There was plenty of room for doubt....despite his name, his signup date was May of 2014.

When I clicked on his name, all I got was “account banned”.

I’m guessing this is a forth or fifth retread. Maybe more.

I actually read his posts on this and other threads via the handy link in the zotting post. He did not appear to be a sicko, though opinions vary.

There was not enough information about him in his few posts on this thread for me to get a good feel for where he was coming from. A few qualifying questions and subsequent answers would have helped, but I won’t get the chance to ask them.

Sorry, support of sodomites adopting kids trumps any other conservative “bonafides” one may have.

Folsom street fair, now with bondage gear for children.
I bet you’re okay with that.

Yeah.
And that doesn’t change the fact that children raised by homos are screwed up in the head.
So what was your point?

I don’t think the poll was limited to San Francisco. If so, Gallup’s Poll DOES NOT represent America.

Oh they most assuredly do understand the site. They understand that by disrupting any place where conservatives gather to discuss and act on ideas, they help forward the leftist agenda.

Which is exactly the reason they do what they do.

Generally, I agree. But It always has to be followed with, “compared to what?”

Sadly, he never got the opportunity to really detail what he thought was a worse fate than being adopted by homosexuals. Depending on the couple, I’d pick them over a single crack hoe with a house full of fecies.

Agree. Nothing worse than pedophiles. Nothing.
