Support For Gay Marriage Rises Across All Age, Race, Political Groups

Support for same-sex marriage has risen across the board in the last four years, new polling data shows, signalling a shift in the overall political and social views of Americans.

The new data, released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, shows a higher percentage of Democrats, Republicans, whites, minorities and people of all generations support same-sex marriage legalization....

Among voting groups, there has been an increase in support for same-sex marriage even among Republicans. Since 2008, Democrats have jumped in support from 50 to 65 percent; Republicans from 19 to 24 percent; and Independents from 44 to 51 percent....

The Pew data supports other recent polls showing acceptance of gay rights is becoming the new norm for Americans. A May Gallup poll showed a majority of Americans polled consider gay or lesbian relations morally acceptable.

The poll showed 63 percent of Americans believe gay relations writ large should be legal, with non-religious Americans, women, youth and Democrats more supportive of gay rights.

Government policy has also been shifting in favor of this new norm. This year not only saw the president's public announcement in support of gay marriage, but also the repeal of Don't' Ask, Don't Tell, leading to more open acceptance -- and even praise -- for gays, lesbians and bisexuals serving in the armed forces.

FNC is not a “Republican” channel!

Rupert Murdoch has never supported a Republican in his life. He is very close with the Clintons, and his ‘religion’ is Luciferism.

Check with Chick-Fil-A after yesterday’s national victory over the fag-marriage promotors.”

That is your test for beating them on gay marriage?

So you are saying we have seen the last of states passing gay marriage and DADT is safe as indicated by this?

Or are you saying states marrying SS/gays doesnt matter as long as Chick's has lots of customers?

As I posted before, this Chicks battle was an easy win for us because even pro-gay liberals like Matthews were objecting to the over-reach against them on first amendment grounds.(MSNBC lib homo Capart was not.)

A victory indication to me is Obama gets booted out of office for coming out FOR gay/SS marriage.

I’m saying that those that matter; the active Americans, are solidly against your gal pals and their agenda.

Lots of people are stupid and irresponsible when they are young, but after having to support one’s self, most will change.

RE :”FNC is not a “Republican” channel Rupert Murdoch has never supported a Republican in his life. He is very close with the Clintons, and his ‘religion’ is Luciferism.”

FNC is THE Republican channel, the establishment Republican channel maybe but it is the 'promote Republicans channel'. If you think FNC in any way supports Dems and against Republicans ......in fact..

Doesnt your ‘conservative’ Joan of Arc work for FNC?? Are you now claiming she works for Democrats?

FNC will ‘support’ weak-kneed wobbly Republicans, but their mission is solidly global socialism.

RE :”Lots of people are stupid and irresponsible when they are young, but after having to support one’s self, most will change.”

So you are saying that their revolution has ended?

BTW : has your Joan of Arc hero ever once come out and 'specifically' says she thinks gay marriage is wrong? Just eating at the Chick's restaurant doesn't count.

Now that you told me she is on the Dems payroll LOL. That might explain the make believe run.

RE :”Lots of people are stupid and irresponsible when they are young, but after having to support one’s self, most will change”

You live in a fantasy world of your own desires.

No ‘youth’ were for gay marriage when I was kid. That is total BS. To us gays were perverted as my parents taught us, and their parents taught them. The problem is that teaching stopped and popular culture and eeducation trained them.

Liberals already have the judges. What's happening with judges is what happened with the press - they're losing credibility. Tossing it away for crumbs of cheap popularity with one political group. It's pathetic... I think we're winning sick - I see it in how people are beginning to understand what liars liberals are... that works for us with the young too... Young people aren't as easily fooled as dems think they are...

[sickoflibs]

RE :”Young people aren't as easily fooled as dems think they are”

Yes they are. I see lots of them here and try to talk to them and their opinions are scary. I just hope they are too lazy to vote this time.

I am not saying all but most.

[editor-surveyor]

You do not reason logically.

Gay marriage is a recent diversion. Only the cognitively limited will remain in sheep mode all their life. The real question is are they God’s children, or Lucifer’s.

You cannot fool God’s elect forever.
