Gallup Poll: Strong Majority Now Believe Gays Should Be Allowed to Adopt Kids

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.

I suspect you’d be alarmed to learn as I suspect that most of the “toy” use and much of the anal obsession in this nation is by heterosexuals.

I don't know about that, but I can predict some rather acute butthurt coming your way.

You’re up late. Nice to see you.

[vox_freedom]

Thanks TOL. It's great to see the Zot of such a worthy recipient.

[luvie]

Evidently he didn’t learn very much from all those years of FReeping! /sarc!

LOL!

[TADSLOS]

ROFL!

[TheOldLady]

He definitely had it coming.

[humblegunner]

You’re up late.

Done now.

Lizzy thought the Boudain looked good on the plate, but not on the desk.

Who the hell am I to say no? I just live here.

[TheOldLady]

Hi, sweetie! Apparently not. ;-)

[TheOldLady]

Just do as Lizzy says, and you’ll be all right. Sleep well, you and Lizzy.

[vox_freedom]

As said, “worthy.”

Quote me, and tell me here I’m wrong.

Sum ting wong wit you. Scratch another troll off the list.

[Arrowhead1952]

Freeping Since 2001 has been scratched from my “list” of trolls.

It is not a strong majority.

It is a group that has been weakened to the point that it doubts or ignores many moral imperatives.

[luvie]

Hi, there! How are you and your hunny doing?

[skinkinthegrass]

turn-up the fire, not enough sizzling.
do the kitties want it raw?
anyway they can get it. *facepalm!*

[skinkinthegrass]

"adopt"and Myth wonders; why he lost in '12, it's b/c
of stupid/moronic statements like this.
so conservatives told 'em "go-fly-a-kite" in '12
Myth wouldn't have stopped the slide.

[KC_Lion]

The Bane of Trolls!

[skinkinthegrass]

"300 million polled"sure they do; it's called, voting.
when was the last time more than 55% of
the American voters? ..a very long time.
it's the parents' inattention..fault.

[skinkinthegrass]

"We have allowed the Left unchallenged access to the
most power weapon ever for molding and shaping the
minds of young people, and it's going to kill this Republic."true..as conservatives; we been "kicked-around/spat-upon"
for too long; time to saddle-up...and drive 'em over a cliff.
