Public approval for same-sex marriage has skyrocketed in the US, with nearly two-thirds of respondents favoring legal recognition of homosexual unions in a new survey.
The Pew Research study found that 62% of Americans favored same-sex marriage, with only 32% opposed. The result represents a stunning change from 2010, when only a minority (42%) supported same-sex marriageand even from last year, when the figure stood at 55%.
Self-identified Catholics were even more likely than the overall sample to favor same-sex unions. Roughly two-thirds of Catholics (67%) and mainline Protestants (68%) supported legal recognition of same-sex unions. Among religious groups, only Evangelical Protestants continued to oppose homosexual marriage.

**Most Catholics Approve**
I don’t think so.
If they do, then they are CINOs.

Really hard to believe. I hope this is a fake poll then trumpeted in fake news. Otherwise this means the cultural rot is accelerating.

It’s still wrong, regardless of how many approved. That goes for homosexual acts in general as well.

I was once asked how I viewed lesbian marriages. I asked. “Lipstick or flannel?” They asked for a clarification. I responded. “Flannel I don’t was to view, lipstick I like to view in HD.” I then walked off.

Approving so-called same sex marriage, is like approving unicorns.

‘unions’ or ‘marriages?’ They are 2 different things.

Nonsense. It is not marriage. This is the definition of marriage:
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24. Note he left his "mother and father"--something not possible in the new lexicon. Also: "and they shall be one flesh." This implies procreation, also not possible with the new lexicon. How does the left suddenly have power to control the language and morality? They do not, unless we give it to them.
Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute. Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Roughly two-thirds of Catholics (67%)...How many of those attend Mass every week, and how many complain that the flowers are always the same ... lilies and poinsettias, poinsettias and lilys ... always the same.

It is a real poll, by Pew (those same wonderful people who support AGENDA 21)
so, take it for what it is : Progressive dribble from a Liberal organization
which supports Globalism and One-World-Government.

Among religious groups, only Evangelical Protestants continued to oppose homosexual marriage. So they're telling me even Muslims approved? BS.

How queer, Californians overwhelmingly rejected the notion of same sex marriage when they had an opportunity to vote on it.
