Keeping in mind this poll was certainly skewed as much as possible to support homo marriage, however, looking at the polling trend, support for homo marriage is DOWN from this time last year. Yes, down.

The percentage of Americans who oppose any kind of legal recognition is up from this time last year. This issue is not trending the way its being reported 99% of the time: that support for homo marriage is on the rise. Just the opposite: it has declined, just as support for "civil unions". Also telling is only 39% of "independents" support homo marriage.

I also wonder how they polled to see who supports “civil unions”. I bet they ask “do you support the right for a homo to make decisions for his boyfriend in the hospital? for gays to inherit their partners property? in other words civil unions?”

I really don’t care about the poll.

I am strongly against same sex CVs and same sex marriage(whatever that is).

This is an attempt to change the deifinition of marriage in the nation.

As far as I am concerned, A Ford is a Ford, and will never be a Chevy.

Gay Marriage has FAILED, and FAILED BIG, in every single state it has been voted on.

If everybody is “For” it, how can this be???

Same sex unions allow the homo lobby to play dress-up and give them all the rights they claim are denied them, without rewriting the definition of marriage for the 97% of the population which is heterosexual.

If the homo lobby was genuinely interested only in what they claimed, they would accept civil unions and STFU about rewriting the definition of marriage for all of us.

Poll: Most Americans support same-sex unions

No surprise.

I don’t trust any poll on this subject. There are those who will never give the “wrong” answer to a pollster to be seen as “open-minded”. Only when there is a secret ballot do we know what people really believe.

I don’t support either option. In fact, I’m all fagged out. Too bad each state doesn’t enact a no fag law that would keep these lecherous, evil sodomites in the states that swoon over them!

Fags should pay an extra tax that would pay for their exclusion out of the sight of decent people. These wierdos are walking time bombs who commit the large majority of murders in the nation. After years of ingesting another male’s fecal matter their brains have become short circuited and they pose an enormous danger to children.

They’re striving for ‘equality’ with normal human beings is patently ridiculous. Who wants a fag teaching youngsters how to shove their pee-pees up another male’s poo-poo? If only the misguided homosexual sycophants would just stop and think about what these subhumans do to each other it might seem as though crime against God, man and nature is being committed.

Hmmm...

When uncle Bill dies and leaves his estate to his ‘wife’ George, I wonder how many people, who NOW favor this, will change their minds!

Pretty much meets with my opinions. I don’t mind same sex “marriage”...just call it something other than marriage because it is different.

After all, Obama’s “degrees” are most certainly different from degrees obtained by folks who actually had to do academic work.

Perhaps we could use the marriage scene term in the Princess Bride movie....”Mawwwage....”

All kidding aside, just call it a civil union (which is already fully lawful) and be done with it.

I don't believe most gays care about marriage. The battle for marriage parity is an expression of hatred for traditional Americans.

Not much else.

How will we know that's true? That this battle is only an expression of their hatred? Because when they 'win' this one, they'll find some other way to degrade us - to fight us - to stomp on our beliefs... It's the 'fight' they're after - only the fight.

How many gays want the responsibilities and restrictions of a marriage? If their current lifestyle is any hint, I'd say, 'not many'. People in permanent rebellion against their 'parents' aren't going to fight to 'settle down'. It's the fight - the slamming the door and stomping out - the high drama of high school that's the real goal. The joy of being seventeen forever - with adult freedom. And the adults? We're sooooooo tired of them. Tired of the antics, tired of the crap... If they win - or when they win 0 they'll choose another fight. It won't end... Think angry rebellious teenagers - huddling with each other against the rules Mom and Dad put down... What a load.

Gays should form domestic partnerships and see how that works for them. Show the rest of us how responsible and serious they are... who knows, we could be wrong about their motives - I don't think so - but it's possible...

The only recognition that the queers deserve is that they are a stink in God’s nostrils and society at large.

Support? Or tolerate. There’s a big difference.

I think this is a big win for Obama. Americans don't like their personal lives being legislated.

I think the gay marriage issue is just another attempt to degrade the culture. I have no particular problem with civil unions, but marriage is a wall that shouldn’t be torn down, and that is exactly what this attempt is, an attempt to tear down a cultural wall of longstanding.

If it goes down, it’s only a matter of time before the wall goes down (already down in some other cultures) dictating that marriage should involve only two people, and we’ll get polygamy legalized.

Ultimately the Man-Boy love crowd (of which there aren’t many perhaps, but who are the most radical of the bunch) will attack the concept of prohibiting minors from marrying adults, and then you’ll have cultural chaos, exactly as intended.

I’d like to think the liberal press and Hollywood are just dupes in all this, but their complicity is too obvious to draw that conclusion. We are never going to see a mainstream television series that portrays the Man-Boy Love crowd for the degenerates that they are, for example. And we are never going to get a TV series that puts the threatening actions of the gay activists on full display either, nor a balanced report in the MSM detailing the despicable tactics directed at those with whom they disagree.

Leave the decision to the States. We know which ones will legalize gay marriage anyway, since their fiscal policies are as bankrupt as their cultural policies. The farther left those states go, the less the likelihood that the rest of us will consent to bailing them out when they hit their financial Armageddon.

CBS is trying to “civil union” equals homosexual marriage BS the voters.

This is just commie propaganda style incrimentalism. (see the old outer limits (?) episode called “the flag”)

They’re not reporting on reality, they’re attempting to create it.

In any case, nature is what nature is, no matter what anyone thinks about it.

And in more than thirty states, when the question has been put to the people, they have overwhelmingly supported real marriage. Even in states that are supposedly heavily liberal.

Yes to “civil unions” but no to “marriage”? Sorry, it’s a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

This sort of “I’ll accept this but not that” myopia is why Aristotle said the young should stay out of politics.

Unless they detail how, precisely, people were selected for polling; how they were approached--both the verbal content, general demeanor of the polsters, and the time allotted to actually reflect on what was implied by the subjects; no one can draw any serious conclusion from these numbers.

Equating the implied behavior in anyway with the marital relationship is idiotic. Marriage is a sanctification of the procreational process. That is not in the slightest analogous to what is being inquired about in these polls. What these polls tell us is not what people actually believe. Nothing in these sort of questions even challenges them to seriously consider the subject matter.

What these pools tell us, rather, is how out-of-touch most of the public are with the fact that there is a war being waged by Leftist organizers against the historic premises of Western Civilization. A glib answer to the question whether one would support the clear oxymoron of "same sex marriage," or not, shows not a seriously held belief, but something else--an avoidance of an unpleasant reality; a desire to find something to go along with, to get along with those parroting the popular media lines..
