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 wonder if this popular show on prime time TV had any influence the past few years?

[tflabo]

Welcome to the brave new Amerika where the moron majority leads the nation into a ruinous and rotten future.

[chris37]

Yep.

This country has absolutely cornered the market on stupidity.

America has an absolute monopoly on stupidity.

[July4]

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe this. Americans have been threatened and punished for giving their opinions, and now the only opinions you do get are from those spouting the PC line.

[Cowboy Bob]

Shows you the power of the media.

[Gay State Conservative]

There’ll surely be a new question asked of little boys by every pediatrician in the country...”have either of your dads ever tried to put his whatever up your whatever?”

[SeekAndFind]

So, you think the 35 percent who are opposed are in danger of being threatened and punished for giving their opinions?

[Oliviaforever]

It’s not a TV show, it is a Democratic campaign commercial.

[Gaffer]

If this is true, then we are lost as a nation. Completely.

I see that TV show with the two queers and their adopted daughter and I seen untold manipulation and diversion from the real perversion that is homosexuality.

They show a peck on the cheek and lovey-dovey humanist affection between two people, but they do not show the physical and mental perversion that forms the basis of all their ‘morality’.

God never intended it, Hollywood won’t show the truth - you can only find that via gay porn - and liberals and Democrats only support it because it is a means to degenerate us all. Truly evil people

I have no idea where this survey polled, but I’m thinking West Hollywood, San Francisco maybe...

The point is that many fear they might be. Intimidation accomplished. I think July4 is absolutely right. Such polls are skewed by their very nature.

Why don’t they just produce their own?? Oh, right...

Therein lies the problem with mating with somebody that it’s impossible to produce children with.

So they believe society should just fill in the gap (so to speak) and provide them with the children that they refuse to create themselves (with somebody who can produce them with them).

[Objective Scrutator]

The Dementocrats are well aware that homosexuality in itself is an agenda against social realities, and against social stability. Since children do not yet have a sound grasp on what makes a society stable, they are naturally susceptible to faulty and destructive ideas; consequently, homosexuals seek to adopt all the children they can, while attempting to brainwash the children they can't adopt through the public schools.

[darkangel82]

I don’t believe it either because they did not poll 300 million Americans.

[onedoug]

I will NEVER accede.

[sickoflibs]

Obama and Clinton judges haven’t made this a (new) right yet?

[Beagle8U]

Put it on the ballot and into the privacy of the voting booth, and the queers won’t be adopting their their next victim!
